Fun simple game. I didn't like the size of the 1lvl creature - well, more precisely creatures you can eat at lvl1. They are so tiny I was swimming around thinking it's a glitch or smth :D

Submitted

VERY well done!

Things I enjoyed ✔️

  1. Gameplay feels very intuitive, and I enjoyed my time playing it!
  2. The art is very well done! Looks very polished!
  3. The fact you did all of this by yourself is very impressive! I loved every second of it!

Things I would like to possibly see with your title. 🤷‍♂️

  1. Adding some audio would go a long way! It would make this game feel even more polished!

Overall 📓

This game is very well done! Great work making this game, because this feels very polished, You should be very proud of this game!

Submitted

Cool idea, but it needs more food to scale the first levels its a little bit annoying

Submitted

Fun little game. Some SFX and music would enhance the game a lot! Maybe something to look at, after the jam. Well done!

Submitted

Overall, the game is good and quite intuitive. Dash's movement was really good, gravity once out of the water was perfect. Could have been nice of the graphics would have been pushed a bit more, took me a few minutes to understand what plankton looked like.

Submitted

Simple graphics and controls. Slightly weak visuals, no musical effects at all..

Submitted

It is cool to respawn as a different species. Adding sound effects would be nice. Cool graphics. Movement and dash was smooth. Good job!

Submitted

This was cool! I loved playing feeding frenzy as a kid and this brought back some nice memories. The evolution was also a clever spin that made it unique. Nice work!

Submitted

The controls and concept were great. However, it wasn't as clear as I would have liked to know how to progress. The effect for when you grow was really well done! With some more player guidance and some music/SFX, this could be a really great little game. Awesome work!

Submitted

i love the mechanics/gameplay loop behind this, with you having to eat smaller food/species to grow :D but i found it pretty confusing to progress past level D+, and its a bit of a bummer that theres no sound. But i like the pixellated graphics. well done!

Submitted

Soooooo great ^^ the movement was so satisfying

Submitted

took me some time to figure out what to do but once i did it was pretty fun!
i love the unique idea of getting to a certain level and then reincarnating as a different fish

Submitted

Pretty cool idea of having an animal grow and eat other animals so you can become the king of the ocean. I got up to a D+ fish, but couldn't figure out exactly what to do after; I tried reincarnating but it looked like the 2 reincarnation options were the same fish, which felt strange since I got up to D+ before, but these other options reincarnated me to E. I also thought the plankton that you eat as an E fish could've spawned more frequently, as I spent a lot of time just dodging fish trying to find plankton to eat.

Really solid idea, with good graphics too; could use some music as well, but overall this was a solid entry, great job!

Submitted

Really fun to play, great game!

Submitted

There is more than meets the eye in this game. Also, the jellyfish animation is just awesome and clever.

Submitted

I can't believe how underrated this game is! IT'S AWESOME! :)


Took me a minute to figure out what to do but after that I had a blast. It had a good amount of content, a nice art style, and great gameplay. Audio would've added a lot but it's really a great game! 

Submitted

Neat! I couldn't figure out where to go after I got to D+ because I stopped earning experience. But very cool still!

Submitted

Awesome game! It was really engaging and fun to play. This could be a hard to put away game, if you could add bigger and powerful fishes :)

Submitted

Cool game! Progressing through the game and feeling more and more powerful definitely feels very fun and satisfying. 

Submitted

I love the graphics! My only issue is that it's kind of confusing on how you progress. Once you figure it out though, It's a really fun time!
