pretty relaxing game, well done
oh that was fun, great stuff. i really liked the pallet and the bubble sprite,
Simple but quite effective. The game is really well balanced, challenging but not too much. Nice !
Lots of fun!
Things I enjoyed ✔️
Things I would like to possibly see with your title. 🤷♂️
Overall 📓
Great job on this game! Had lots of fun! I think if you added some background objects this game will really stand out! Great work on this game, you should be very proud of it!
i love how you expanded on the story line of one of your previous games, i havent seen anyone do that yet. the audio is a bit lackluster, but the rest of the game is really good. I like the concept of pressing the arrow keys in order to get to the surface, and the pixel art is amazing!
Simple and fun game, the only thing missing is music effects
Great game! Love the art style and story! I really like the added complexity of the arrow keys prompts, it is the right amount of challenging to dodge fish and also try and coordinate the arrow sequence in the same time. Excellent job!
Hi! This is great entry for this jam, I love gameplay and how you fit the theme. I just love your story, graphics and sounds, avoiding fishes and playing minigame. I just might add little variety among the fishes could be great way to keep interesting going deeper. Anyway, this is Great game!
I loved the idea of a dwarf hunting a dwarf
GOOD JOB
fun game, I liked the graphics a lot!
Good!
Quite a fun little game, not sure how the arrow game really worked though.
Thank you so much for including an arrow pointing towards the nearest gnome! I've seen so many diving or sea exploration games where the premise is similar but there's absolutely no guidance towards the goal, so you're just searching for a needle in a haystack.
On top of that, the style is great, and the later two gnomes were much harder to get than I was anticipating (which is good, I was worried it was going to be too easy). The only thing I'd say this game lacks is more content. The concept is solid, so it would be great if it were longer with more obstacles and minigames. Also, this is a minor issue, but I think the camera should refocus on the pier when surfacing instead of staying in place, since the first time I surfaced and there was no visual change I was worried the game crashed.
And I'm actually rather interested in the lore behind gnomes somehow getting lost at sea while escaping a garden.
Thanks for playing and the detailed feedback!
Really impressive idea of the theme! And super fun also haha. Congrats!
Pretty fun. Didn't get what arrow mini-games are for.
If you fail the arrow mini-game three times you’ll drop the gnome you’re carrying. Each time you succeed on the mini-game it speeds up the reeling-in speed.
Thanks for playing!
Interesting game!
