amazing!! The artstyle was just perfect and it completely fits the game.
I also like the way you worked with the theme. Because a underwater cave with big enemy鈥檚 blocking your way is really confined!
And the music. Wow it鈥檚 perfect and I was vibing on the music the whole time.
The menu looked great and I see that you put much effort in it.
The only thing is the fire rate of the bullets. It was really hard to play with it being this slow. And with a faster fire rate. The game has more action. (It already has much action but just more)
Anyways. Extremely Good game! Loved every second of it! 15/10
I do really like this aquatic theme of the game, however I have to echo the player鈥檚 low rate of fire, which versus the tankiness of the enemies makes it hard to kill most of them. I also wish the player could change direction more easily, rather than having momentum to its movement, and combined with how big the player鈥檚 hitbox is makes it hard to make tight dodges.
Thanks for the comment! I agree with the tankiness of the enemies, a bit more time spent on balancing would of helped!
I love the aesthetics, art style, and soundtrack. However, the slow firing rate made it impossible to kill all the enemies. Overall a very cool game with plenty of bullets to dodge!
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeh the enemies can feel a little tanky :D
Lovely game, I dig the visuals and the theme, not to mention the music. I wish I could fire bullets a little faster though, but other than that, stellar work!
Got to level 3, died to the barrage of bullets by those 4 enemies (I believe you know the ones I'm talking about haha)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! And I know what you mean about level 3 haha ;)
Would of liked to get in some powerups and balanced it a bit more but you know how game jams go!
A simple, fun, and well polished game! Great work! :)
Thanks for the comment :D Glad you enjoyed it!
Wowzers! The look of this game is stunning! Simple yet very memorable and thematically fitting sprites, the parallax background is well made and I loved the colors. Controls work well and everything from the pixel bloom to the hit FX were super well made. This is one of the most polished games I've played this far and one of my definite favorites of the jam this far! Bravo!
If you have time, we'd greatly appreciate if you checked out our game submission :)
Thank you for your kind comments, glad you enjoyed it!
Nicely done and great presentation, if a little slow-paced. A lot of the enemies feel like bullet-sponges and your fire rate doesn't quite feel up to the job. Could have used a power-up or laser, something like that maybe. Definitely feels confined though, as the enemies are all large and seem to fill up the space, boxing you in! Good job.
Thanks for your comments! I agree, I fee like we missed a bit of balancing time near the end of the jam and would of loved to get some power-ups and weapon types in!
Glad you enjoyed though!
This was really cool! The movement and shooting all felt very satisfying and juicy! Great work!
Thanks and glad you enjoyed it!!
(Also is it bad that I read that in your accent?)
This is so well done! The movement is well polished, the music, visuals and game play all complement themselves nicely.
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
The music and visuals were incredible. I loved the use of theme in the setting. This game is incredible. The only thing I can say is that either it was a bug or there isn't a level end. I got to an area in the first level where for 30 seconds nothing happened and I assumed it was the end and went to the next. In the end, I loved the game a lot.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Does sound like a bug.. glad you sticked it out for 30 seconds :D
Rated 6/5 on the music. That was AWESOME. Good work and the aesthetic is pretty sick. Love the vibe. Well done.
Thanks for your comments! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great work! Super polished game with great visuals and music!
