How does the game fit into the theme?
Some sharks must swim constantly in order to keep oxygen-rich water flowing over their gills, even when sleeping they must 'Keep Moving Foreward' by gliding through the ocean.
Bullet Hell games are much the same, you stop moving you get hit and die.
I just combinded the two.

What premade assets did you use if any?
None, all art by me.
I ran out of time for music, so enjoy the silence of the deep ocean...

Loved the art style!

Submitted

SO CUTE :D. It’s really hard to eat fish though, so I never really got very far, but with some tweaks I think you could make this game really fun!

Submitted

Every time I died I felt so bad for the shark :( game looks really good!

Submitted

Super cute! I collected all the trash I could but eating fish was hard, I tried to time it but sometimes I would just get stuck I would also recommend speeding up the bullets! They can be extremely useful to survive longer and collect more trash!

Aside from this, looking forward to seeing the other content!

Cutest bullet hell game. If you refine the hitboxes, this could really take off!

Submitted

The graphics were so adorable I was getting ready for a cozy adventure as a shark, but then the bullet hell storm hit me with dozens of projectiles were flying around hahaa. What a startle that was!

I had a little bit of difficulty biting other things or landing solid hits with the teeth. Some of the enemies seemed to get glued onto me if I got too close to them, which then made it harder to dodge the bullet hell mechanics. I was able to collect 3 pieces of trash and lasted about 40 seconds on my best attempt though!

Really really loved the art for this!

I love the art of the game, but I have to say that I didn't quite understand how to play it. 

I know it's a bullet hell, but I feel like maybe the collisions aren't implemented very well. The movement felt very clunky to me. 

Some sound effects and music would have improved the experience as well, but it's still a good job! :D

I do absolutely love the art, with more time and some sound or music this could easily turn into such a cute game!

Submitted

Absolutely ADORABLE art, and I really appreciated the use of the shark fact in the theme!

This game is super hard, lol.  I really enjoy bullet hell games so it was cool to see one in this jam! I think I've encountered a bug that the "shoot teeth" option only happens some of the time and takes a long time for it to happen at all - unless that's part of the difficulty? Also, you have to stop to be able to move upwards. Those are my only suggestions on this.

Considering the time constraints and this being your first Godot game, you did very well! Good luck and happy jamming! :D

Submitted

Great visuals, calming audio (silence is calming lmfao) and just an overall cosy game. The only thing is that I kept being pushed all over the place lmfao. Thanks for the game tho!

Submitted

the art is amazing omg!! the idea of a shark was very creative too

Submitted

When i first saw the "keep moving forward" theme the first thing i think of was sharks because they need to move constantly in order to survive. I'm glad to see someone who has donde a game with the same idea! :D the game is beautiful and fun. Very cool game! :>

Submitted

really nice art style, and love the controls shown on page, very quality of life! 

Submitted

I loved the art, wish I could draw like that! On point regarding the theme. Just a small note on the controls, they felt a bit too hard for me - overall great job!

Submitted

The art here is certainly outstanding, nice work!

Submitted

Oooh a fellow cute underwater game! The art is suuuper cute. Nice job!
