What do you like about your game?
The eeriness of the environment. (You don't know when the fish will come for you.)

The balancing is a little funky in the game because you start by being omegaclobbered by like 20 monsters and then the management becomes fairly easy. I actually ended up doing more damage to myself than any monsters did lol.
The visuals are nice, thematic and well made.
Gameplay could've been a little more heterogeneous as I kinda think of it like a VS-like with a twist. As is is, I felt I could go indefinitely if I locked in, but I get it, it was like a jam experience.
congrats on the release!
Thank you for your kind words! Hitting yourself is the flavor haha. I will take your comment and improve further.
It's a cool concept for sure. I think that with some tweaks to the visuals, and some music, sfx, and ocean sounds, you could really elevate the spooky vibe.
Thank you for your feedback. I would love to add ocean sound! Will try this!
I think there's some potential with this idea. I got over 6000 score before deciding to call it.
Enemies can't hurt you if are moving upwards.
I think a different enemy type would have helped the loop a lot, maybe something with a ranged attack? It also seems like there's no way to get health back.
I like the sprite work you've done, it has a really nice vibe to it!
A few more upgrade types would be nice.
I think with some refinement you can make this into something cool!
6000!! That’s a lot. Thank you for your suggestions, DungeonMartian.
I appreciate it wholly.
I agree. The game right feels a little low on content but I am definitely adding more after the voting ends. I decided to not let player heal right now because I feel like it would be too easy since, right, the upward movement literally cheeses the game lol. Thank you for pointing that out.
Ranged fish would be cool to add I can vision it already.
fuck them fish
Real.
Well that's great, I guess I'll never hop on a boat anymore, it's waaay too dangerous out there lol Really nice pixel art, it was fun to time the anchors properly as they were falling from the sky, although it sometimes felt a bit unfair when too many enemies arrived. I scored 2100 after a few tries! Would be great with a bit more punch (screen shake + sound on successful hits). Nice little entry overall!
Thank you, Gad!
I hope you had fun! I wish I could add more to it.
I agree with your advice and will be adding some sound for sure after the voting ends!
P.S. I remember your game from the other Jam. I believe it was the Merlin wizard castle game (was it Game Off Jam?) but I remember that your game has very good pixel arts!!
That's right, I made that game called Merlin for the GameOff jam a few months ago, awesome you remember :)
I tried to go a completely different genre this time around with 3D, we'll see how it goes lol
Cheers!
was a cute little fun game. i got 2500 score.
Thank you! Appreciate it. Stand proud. You are strong.
A simple and fun little game.I enjoyed playing it!
Thank you for the feedback :D! I will be playing yours too!
Good art. Anchors falling from the sky is a little confusing. I like it though
Thank you for the compliment :) I tried making attacking a little more challenging to fit the theme but it could have been better. I will be playing your game, too, when I get home!
Very cute pixel art you got there. Not gonna lie, almost every time I saw a fish swimming toward me I got scared a little bit haha. Fun game :)
Thank you :)
I’m glad my fish could scare someone because I, too, got scared while play-testing haha.
