- Cute game, nice atmosphere. The "puffing to protect" was a cool idea. I was struggling with the controls tho, it was weird that I would keep going up or down, but not left and right.
- This is a fun little experience. The music and art go together really well to create a chill and fun vibe, though I wish the sound mixing was a little better; some of the SFX were really loud compared to everything else. The gameplay was simple and worked, but it was a little too easy. Right now the obvious strategy is to always be puffed up with 3 charges asap since there's no penalty. Maybe a good balance would be the more you're puffed up the slower you get, or as long as you hold space you stay puffed up but move much slower so there's a little more strategy involved. Overall though, really nice entry that just needs a little tweaking.

Great for first game complete and game jam. It feels like a complete little experience. I like the the chill music, and the sound effects. The controls were easy to grasp.
Cool game. Maybe a little too easy because if you're close to Horace and puffed all time it’s hard to lose a life and whale’s energy. Graphic is cute. Great game for first jam.
Pretty cool little game. Im glad proud of you for participating. Overall successful just wish there was maybe a difficulty curve because once you get in a grove you can live forever. Like just have more little guys spawn or make them move faster. That'll be enough. Cool idea too I love pufferfish
