Very, very cute game! I liked how the mechanics changed for when the pufferfish gets big and small, and that the audio really matches the overall game aesthetic. One piece of feedback would be adding a little more polish, such as a splash animation when the fish dives back in the water, or just a little bit more player feedback in general. Other than that, great submission and great game!
Yeah this was sorely missing some splash effects and just polish overall. Thank you for checking it out!
Now this one is just lovely. The sound effects give it a very cartoony, and up-beat, happy feel, which suits the visuals perfectly. Great job with that. I especially love when you get out of water, you get that tiiiiny boost and a sound effect to match. Very satisfying. I thought that maybe the game could use a checkpoint or two, because replaying from the very tutorial-ish beggining was a bit annoying, but that's probably impossible with GameJam limits. Still, I like that being bigger wasn't just a simple downgrade - you move slower. Giving it the ability to ignore currents was a very nice touch. Although, again, it would be lovely for the whole experience to be a bit longer, to make full use of the mechanics.
Thanks for the in depth feedback, I agree with those criticisms. I need to better manage my time for the next one for sure. I tried yours out too
Very cute game, i like the music loop. And i bypassed first meet with spikes. Game little but funny.
Thanks for checking it out. I'll have a look at yours
