In the first seconds you try not to touch the fish, and then you realize what you need)) Good game!
Very cool game, had fun playing it. Congrats on finishing it in time!
EDIT: ok nvm I got it - you need to bounce DOWN off the fish, now it makes sense. Confusing, but kinda fun. Leaving the original comment for people who might get similiarly confused.

It seemes bugged: the guy moves up on the top edge of the screen for a while, then camera stops while he still moves, and the game is lost when he's out of the screen.
Great artstyle though, hopefully the game will be fixed.
Haha. Glad you figured it out eventually. A tutorial and a better camera probably would have helped a lot it seems. Appreciate the feedback. I'll make sure to check out your game soon!
Its hard to understand the controls to play this game, but great work and nice art style
Thanks for the feedback!
It's like a reverse doodle jump! It is hard to tell where fish are going to be which made me feel like it was somewhat luck on how deep you can go, but as I got a little better at dashing to fish it helped a little bit. Overall good work and the art and music are great!
It probably would have help to move the camera down based off the velocity of the player to help with seeing the fish as you go "up". To make it easy to land on the fish. Thanks for the kind words! I will take a look at your game soon!
Loved the art style took a bit of time to figure out the controls though
Very fun game. Congrats on finishing it on time!
Thanks for the nice comment! :)
It takes a few tries to figure out how to play this game, but It's not a bad concept. I can't tell how, but I feel like it could've been executed a bit better.
The intro was a banger though
Personally, I think the movement needs a lot of work to make the gameplay feel more crisp, and I do agree intro does slap.
The gameplay is a bit tricky, but the graphics are awesome, and the tiny intro sequence with the little *pling* making a splash really made my day
Thank you so much and thanks for the feedback. I play and rate your game soon!
The visual aspect is SPECTACULAR, personally, I'm a fan of pixel art style. The gameplay is good, though it took me a bit to understand the controls. Perhaps a small initial tutorial would have helped.
Thanks for the response and the common problem is that the game needs a tutorial. We will keep that in mind the next time we do a gamejam. Thanks again and I will play and rate your soon!
Took me a few tries to figure out how to play the game. Interesting concept
Thanks for the response!
Nice game! I was confused at first on how to actually dive deeper but then found out you have to hit the fish to dive deeper. Could've used some tutorial prompt to tell players that as they would assume hitting fish would hurt you. Overall, fun little game! I like the intro cutscene as well!
Thank you for playing and the feedback and yes it seems that a small tutorial button would have helped a lot!
The game is nice but lacks a little tutorial to explain the fact that you have to touch the fish. (one could think the opposite)
In addition, the camera is badly placed, we can't see where we "fall" and it's therefore complicated to touch the fish before dying.
Thanks for the feedback and playing our game!
When the game starts I find myself right at the top of the screen, sometimes I die instantaneously sometimes I'm just stuck. Sorry if it's because I don't understand how to play it... On the other hand I love the cute graphics and the little music
Appolgies, I guess we should have mentioned you have to hit the fish. Thanks for trying the game and giving feedback.
