How does your game fit the theme?
It is in the ocean, and the characters are sea creatures. it also has ocean ambience, and it gets slightly darker as you go deeper.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I made all of the assets from scratch, except for the music and fonts. For the scripts I did get some online, and my dad did help me for the camera movement. I did write the UI and movement code myself though.

fun game i like it
A fun game with simple controls. Good job
Hi, would it be ok if I show your game in a recap video for this jam?
sure!
I thought it was really cool how you control a whole flock of fish. Fast paced and quite hard but it was the appropriate length for that level of difficulty. I had fun :)
A simple and fun game. Sharks are a bit too fast.
Good work.
this game is very fun to place it is a little hard to see but other then that it’s good
The game pace is very satisfying.
A neat rapid paced idea. Great submission. It was oddly addictive and I kept trying to save all the fish. But alas, the shark boys are too fast for me lol.
Great game! For some reason while I was playing I had a very intense craving for goldfish, but I'm not sure why... Aside from that the gameplay is surprisingly fun! I would have the camera a little more zoomed out though because it can feel very cramped at times. Some simple animations would be nice too, like some anticipation so you know when one of the sharks is about to bite you instead of just having one of your fish blink out of existence on contact. The sharks also don't have to face the fish to eat them, and one them ate all but one of my fish with his tail fin. I do really like the idea of controlling a whole school of fish instead just one fish with a bunch of lives, and the underwater ambience is cool . Nice submission!
The movement is really interesting and unique.
Fast, challenging and simple game. My submission actually uses the same mouse movement mechanic as yours. Great level design and the game works! Well done
Thanks for all of the great feedback guys!(:
Cute art style and interesting sound effects! Would be cool if you added an ability to add more fish in the group as you progress. Well done!
Simple but the game works. The controls work well too
Simple idea. I like the speed of the movement.
Thanks! I originally had fixed the overlapping screens, but then I had to change it back since it caused the timescale to be 0 when you restarted, and I didn't have time to fix it.
Simple idea. I like the speed of the movement.
Nice work with the controls, feels good for this game. Good job!
The level is a bit short, there are no sounds, The fishes and the shark go a bit fast and the game idea is not that original. But not bad at all for your first jam. The fishes and the shark swim smooth, The background music is great, the difficulty is good, the graphics are great and its all clear what to do!
Well done!
I get absolutely jumpscared by the sharks every time. I like the design of controlling a bunch of fish, which gives you an extra chance when some get eaten.
lol. there was one time I played through it, and I thought the coast was clear, but out of the very corner at the last second a shark hurtled at me at top speed and ate all my fish in less than a second.
That was fun and quite addictive! I had a really hard time passing by the last group of fishes and only managed to save one fish, but it was really cool! Congrats for your first game jam submission!
