This is such a cute game! I love the art style of the 3D models, especially the pufferfish! The levels do feel similar, but having the environments look very different from each other, like an underwater cave or a cluttered coral reef, could make them each of them feel unique. Really cool game! It was fun racing to collect the rings as quickly as possible :D

Thank you for the feedback! ^^ The underwater cave is such a good idea as well as the cluttered coral reef.

Love the game! there aren't many differences between levels though, I'd love to see some more things going on, otherwise great job :)

Super cute and cozy, but rather frustrating to control, but that just adds to the charm.

I would love to see and update for this after the jam :D

Developer

Thank you! ^^ I do have plans to improve the game based on all of the feedback I've gotten, also create more levels, perhaps a network leaderboard, touchscreen controls, and release this game on the Google Play store. :)

Wow this is fun! It's great to see something engaging condensed down into one button. You really nailed it - it was fun to learn how to get control over the fish and master the ability.  And this game is definitely cozy - the aesthetics are cute and sweet, while still being on point and meshing with the racing gameplay. As creators of a cozy fish game ourselves, congrats on threading that needle really well!

Developer

Thank you for the kind comment, truly appreciate it a lot :)

I love the simplistic visuals in this game! I enjoyed it, however I struggled to control the direction of the dash at times.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Appreciate it :)

The art is really cute and lovely and a fun game to play!

Developer

Thank you! :)

Cute game!

The controls are intuitive and the art is beautiful (loved the colors)!

About the dash, I see no advance in hold the mouse's button once short clicks is a more efficient way for gain speed.

Good job!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! ^^

The art feels so nice and the pufferfish is so cute, it's great!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! :D

Really cute and relaxing aesthetic :) Loved colliding with obstacles and seeing the pufferfish spinning aimlessly! Definitely a fun time.

It could maybe use a cooldown between clicks to promote click-holding to ramp up the dash, because I found myself mashing short clicks for maximum speed, but that's about it. Congratulations!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! ^^ Cooldown for the dash is a great idea.

Super fun game, I had a great time drifting my little pufferfish around corners trying to lower my time. I also bumped into a rock and it started tumbling around when it bounced off which I thought was super cute. Great work!

Developer

Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed my game! ^^

Very fun cute lil game I had fun speedrunning through the hoops! One thought I had was what if there was more variety especially vertically in hoop placements, some very high up some very low down etc 

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! :)
