I really liked the art and the darkness changing depending on your depth, the music was nice but a few sound effects would have helped the game pop

How does you game fit the theme?
You have to survive in the ocean as a fish, but you are part of a shoal of fish, so you will have to avoid enemies, and eat as a group to survive more time.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes :)

Nice little game and cute pixel art.
I had a bit of an issue with the dash not working some times, and I had to click multiple times any time I wanted to use that (I checked that it wasn't because of the charge bar).

LonelessDEMONice little game! The controls are nice, the graphics are gorgeous and I really like the introduction level! The whole atmosphere, with the music, everything living around us, the fishes multiplying, is really awesome! I was not ready for such polish in a jam game, congratulations =)!

NotAlone Inc.There's a surprising amount of depth to this game (both literally and metaphorically). I enjoyed swimming around, though the movement is a bit slow. The dolphins and sharks are a bit overpowered; it would be cool if you could hide from them in some anemones or something. The fish reproducing is pretty funny. I reached the bottom but an anglerfish got me. Nice pixel art and music. Great work!

Paint the DarkFunny game, it's nice to just sit and play) all done nicely. After a while I either broke something or I just did not understand what to do next.

14 notes afterIt fits to the theme very well! And I like the graphics and the sound. How the fishes suddenly just spread some "eggs" and make new fishis is really funn.
Especially how they react to enemies and to food... this is incredible! This is what the game jam needs - interesting, innovative games like this. You´ve made so much out of the theme, just wow!
