Man, now I'm sad I didn't play this sooner. I love the pufferfish design and that if you bump onto something he starts spinning. Very cute . The gameplay was also pretty good, the fishing felt nice like it was entirely in your control which is perfect for a racing game. 10/10

Really fun game!! I would play it a lot if there was a mobile version with random levels etc :D I completed the first level in 25 seconds.
Such an adorable fishy in a cute world! I love the art and how the pluffer spins when it hits the rocks! The game was all about trying to get a faster record once I got familiar with it. Awesome job, well done!
Great small yet fun game.
Nice choice of soud effects and awesome visuals.
Good job for the 1st jam!
Would be awesome if you could leave some feedback on our game as well ;)
00:16 on 1st track!
Am I holding a WR on the 1st track!? Who wants to compete!?
Very cute game, love the art! It's working well and it was a nice experience.
I would only added a button "next level" when finishing a level, just to avoid the need to always go back to the main menu.
Very cute racing game. The visuals are great the music and sound is fitting perfectly and the gameplay feels well polished. Had a good laugh as I bumped into something the first time and my fish spun around like crazy. The controls are really fun as soon as you get the hang of it. I think the checkpoints might be a little bit too small, so you missed them really closely sometimes.
Actualy very clever idea! Plus a cool aesthetic very fitting for a game jam. Super submission !
It's really cute! And I laughed when I hit a rock and the fish went spinning! Great job! And that music is fun
This game is food for speedrunners, they gonna love it hahah
Simple but effective, very fun game congrats!
Super fun movement mechanic in a simple, easy to pick up racing game! Love the flat-shaded art and good auditory feedback. I'd love to see more level variety, and maybe a few different types of obstacles. But overall, excellent work!
I had fun playing this game! I like the cute art style and the gameplay and music are solid too! Good job!
i really like the way the way the pufferfish looks, its quite cute, despite not being a fish.
and the mechanics were fun enough that i had fun even if most of the levels felt the same.
also im not blaming you for this, but pufferfish aren't fish.
i can't blame you for thinking this, we as a society have been indoctrinated from a young age to believe that pufferfish are fish, which they are in fact NOT! THEY AREN'T EVEN FISH SHAPED. They dont have fins they dont have nostrils they are nothing like REAL FISH. I am putting no fault for this grave mistake of thinking pufferfish are real fish onto you, i get it, even i up until very recently believed pufferfish are fish. until i learned they are not. even if they have fish in their name they are not fish but puffers. just puffer.
cool game anyways just needed to vent my frustration surrounding pufferfish out.
I got them all under 25 sec :P Hard to control at first coz the mouse is too sensitive but I did got use to it.
The art is super cute <3 an easy 5/5
Nice little game. Swimming felt good after some attempts and getting a hang of it, racing to the rings was quite satisfying . Good job!
