Suddenly getting caught and shot at shocked me an unreasonable amount literally every time. I could genuinely not get used to it. Excellent job!

Developer

yeah maybe coulve increased the contrast between the water and the enemies🤔 and give the user a dimmer torch but more reaction time

Developer

thankss😋

Love the fish sprite and movement transitions are very smooth. Had fun locating the green orbs and avoiding the enemies!

Developer

gladddd to hear😁

Very nice. Controls were decently smooth, liked the idea searching for clues. It suffers a bit from not being enough of a game if there is no penalty for getting caught currently, you can just press C and continue where you got caught. I enjoyed finding all the little drawn pictures. Keep it up.

i couldve restarted the game but i  just wanted to let players find all the little slides without needing to redo anything and what not. Kinda just hoped peps would have a fun lil <15min experience, smile, and move on :)

if i had a lot more time, i maybe couldve implemented a dialogue tree kinda thing, so if you got caught it would just become a different story branch :)

Yeah I totally understand for the jam why you let the player continue haha. Different story branch is interesting... but also how about invisible checkpoints you're sent back to?  The map is linear with bottlenecks so that could work as well.

I had fun trying to find every green orb :D Got jumpscared by the enemies a couple of times. I really like the mechanic of sneaking past the enemies without the light, and the art is awesome. Good job with the game! 

Developer

THANKS! the art and drawing the little cut scenes was def my fav part :P

My Sherlock angler fish now looks like Swiss cheese after playing the game XD I think the game idea is really creative! The whole realisation and the graphics are well done.

Developer

thanks. very much had to focus on just getting a minimal vial game out cause of life stuff🫠. all the sounds that play at the start aren’t on purpose, i just didnt have annyyyyy time left (was about to miss da plane). IM GLAD YOU LIKEDD ITTT. hopefully you got a nice number of fish puns ✨.

This game is so underrated, really funny, noticed it was inspired on among us style, I like it!, I cannot count how many times I have been killed , but at lest was able to collect 4 nice green orbs, congratulations, loved the music, the art of collectables once opened. 

Developer

thanks☺️. Yeahhhhh maybe i shoulda made it easier🥲. Definitely had a tone of fun making the collectables (fish puns are quite the catch when you find one🙃). hopefully more people will try it out once i come back from vaca and get to binge the submissions ✨
