Great work! The game looks very good especially with the glow on some sprites and the post processing really fit the theme, one thing I didn't really like was the controls, WASD would fit more in my opinon, you have a little space for mouse movement since you can't move if you hover over any UI element, but overall great game!

Very solid game, controls take a bit of adjustment but it's worth it (I mean not to get into but to get proficient with, it's literally just mouse). Bonus point for UI, specifically the shop show/hide animation - chef's kiss.

EDIT: grammar

Very fun game with a lot of content! I think that it was a bit hard to aim sometimes but it´s an amazing game anyways

Developer

I highly respect you for enforcing a fairly simple idea in such a good way ;) I had a lot of fun playing this simple looking game with just one mechanic ;)

Developer

Thanks for the positive comment!

I didn't really like the artstyle but that's a personal opinion.. but besides that felt like a decent game. Good submission

Thanks for playing!

The concept of throwing a spear underwater to kill fish is actually really fun! I really enjoyed it especially because you need to catch it before you can throw it again. My one recommendation would be to make the player controls and spear aiming separate from each other so you can aim without running into something at the same time. 

Developer

Noted. Would you consider that a game breaking bug that I need to fix? Because I sure would.

Fits the theme very well, but I would adjust the controls so that it's a little easier to manoeuvre!:)

Idea of a game is cool. But consider to change controls like add WASD for movement and add some aim laser or make bigger collider for weapon to make hitting enemies easier.  And limit enemies when you are in lower level of the game. So when you level up put some stronger enemies. Also add enemy health bar. 😄

Cool game. Graphics style is very nice, liked the glowing effects on the fish and how they all looked very unique. Music choice was good too.

Combat system is interesting too. Having to pick up/chase after your trident and fish guts after getting a kill while dodging fish was fun.

I did find a couple of bugs, one with the player rotation where you can accidentally leave the top of the map/get stuck in the walls, the other with the UI not closing properly.

Neat submission. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Yes me and my team will get to work on fixing those bugs.

love the graphics style.  I wish that there was some kind of immunity period after being hit, because sometimes I took three hits right away when just bumping another fish.  fun game!

Developer

there is a one second immunity period for you to get away in

Submitted(+1)

I tried it again -- must have been a glitch.  This is a fun one; I keep coming back to it. :-)  Add some sound effects and a little-less-abrupt transition for game over and you've got a great little game!

I felt bad killing the little guys =/ But grea job with the game!

I really like the concept of having to pick up your weapon after throwing it. Makes the combat feel more engaged.

Good concept, the movement got stopped sometimes by the UI, but good experience overall.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

a very interesting game, but after some point all the fish ended, and a little later I was able to throw a spear over a restrictive wall

great job :)
