Game's Take on the Theme
Spinning is the key trick, so the fish performs tricks—mostly spinning.

The visuals make this game quite unique compared to others. The controls feel nice, although a couple of times. I felt that the fish's hitbox was a bit too big. With such inertia, it's very easy to get caught by a projectile, though I managed to beat it on my second try, so it's not a disaster.

However, I felt that the theme wasn't really explored—aside from the word "spin" appearing, there's nothing related to the jam's theme. Essentially, it's just an animation that could have been replaced with anything else. Well, that's just how it seemed to me—no offense.

Overall, I’d rate it 4/5. What surprised me the most, though, was that the game was made in Godot.

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked the visuals and controls. I see what you mean about the theme, and I’ve come to the conclusion that making more complicated mechanics would significantly reduce the clarity of the gameplay. But I fully understand your point, and I really appreciate your feedback. Thanks again!

Honestly? I love it. Might be my favorite game until now. One of the only ones I downloaded just because I wanted to play even more. AWESOME WORK!!

Reminds me of that one cover "i am just a fish"

Developer

Yep. I didn’t listen to it before, but now I have heard it, and it can be an anthem for this game.

I really, really loved the boss designs and the creative ways you utilized the water mechanic by displacing it with walls or gravity.  Amazing work!

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed the mechanics!

The learning curve is steep but fair with ability cards ! Really liked the visuals.

Thank you!

One of the more creative games of the jam for sure, lol. Good sense of humor, slick presentation, water physics are pretty darn impressive and keep altering the arena in unpredictable ways. I had a pretty hard time with the controls, though. I feel like it's one of those games where there's enough depth to the controls that someone who takes the time to get really good at it can do some insane shit, but I felt like I was flailing and flopping into shots that should have been easy to dodge in a vacuum, but the damned fish won't sit still, lol. Game is also much more enjoyable when I can get the Dash powerup, maybe that could be a standard ability and factored into the design? 

Developer

Thanks so much!

this right here is fish

imo the fisherman is harder than death, which sounds crazy out of context

dying is pretty loud on browser

Developer

Thanks for pointing that out, audio is kinda hard on browser!

S Tier game! Awesome all around!

Developer

thank you!

Fish Spin. 10/10

Controls feel very fluid, bosses are unique and have fun attacks, and the upgrades are a very nice touch

The audio in the web version is a bit crackly, and the heal 33% on blood ability is very OP when stacked

Overall, this is my favorite game so far

Developer

Really appreciate it! I’ll look into the web audio

Breakcore wins me,  very fun game for real and the upgrade system got me to keep playing more, also an story mode in fish game? 10/10

Developer

Thank you! Glad you liked the music

Submitted(+1)

I loved playing this but my computer sure didn't anytime I summoned a rocket haha! Might've been an in-browser issue with the physics being just too damn good. Fantastic UI design and theme usage, would love to see an extensive release of this in the future!

Thanks!

Fish. Absolute peakness. I love how the liquid works, and the breakcore music is just stunning!

Developer

Thanks! I was a little worried about music since I have little experience with this genre.

The water vfx and particles are amazing, the game look beautiful. Nice job!

Developer

happy to hear that!

I have no idea what is going on or what I'm doing, but I'm winning, I think my mind blanked for a hot second. This is some good Fishcore, great visuals, awesome water particle effects, cool use of the spin theme and mechanics, music is just kino. You get five out five ponds from me, good job!

Developer

Thanks!

Just keep spinning, just keep spinning... Amazing honestly, I'm in love with both the visuals and the gameplay!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

Probably my favorite game from this jam so far. Controls are super intuitive so you can pick up and play right away. The art style is really fun, water physics are very funny, humor is very funny, fish is very funny, spin is very funny. You do a sick flip and the game does a tony hawk sound effect. Absolutely peak. I only wish that I didn't need to restart after every death. I really wanted to beat it but it was too hard for me :( 

Developer(+1)

Dude, your comment is an Eureka moment for me. I’ve been thinking a lot about how to keep the boss challenging while still making it engaging, without making the game too easy with slow, simple bosses. The idea of not restarting the entire run after death is genuinely the best solution. It will be the first thing I implement when uploading a new version becomes possible. Thanks a lot!

Submitted(+1)

Awesome I'm happy to hear it! I'll play the crap out of it once you update it :D

cool 👍

Developer

Thanks!

Super creative, and the controls are incredibly unique! I feel like it was a little unclear from the tutorial how to attack, but that could be a skill issue on my part

Developer

Thanks! I’ll see if I can make the tutorial clearer!

Submitted(+1)

Amazing ideas of spin!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

i really enjoy the application of the theme here. using tricks to attack the boss is really cool!

Developer

Appreciate it! Happy to hear you enjoyed the mechanics.
