Amazing animation and sounds! I like how most games you make are just slowly building up ecaroh lore. I like how quickly I switch from relaxed to terrified every time I see an angler fish. Great work!

Submitted

beautiful game you did amazing work 

Submitted

Woaw, really beautiful game, art is very well made. The gameplay was also really fun and relaxing.

Submitted

yep

Really loved the visuals. Controls feel AMAZING. Didn't understand too much how to score and what was the use of calling your fish friends with right click.

Submitted

this game has very dreamlike visuals, and for somereason thesounds are also really satisfying to me

very fun also despite the fact that i SUCK at it.

Submitted

Really Enjoyable game! Great gameplay with lovely art style and animations. I had quite a bit of fun playing this one and ended with a score of 658. Great job!

Submitted

Looks and feel great, good job!

It was a bit confusing at first time (you really should put the instructions on itch page on your game), but after I get the gameplay it became pretty satisfying.

Amazing pixel art! Thanks for sharing this dithering shader, I will look at this for sure once it really enrich your game's visual.

Overall, a great game!

Echo the Dolphin kicks ass, and Ecaroh the Dolphin is pretty freaking cool too. The game looks amazing, feels nice, and has a nice combination of cute and unsettling that feels very in the same vein as Echo the Dolphin. I really dig it.

The point system was a bit unclear to me, especially in regards to the golden minnows. And the game seemed pretty easy and started to feel monotonous after a point. I ended up letting myself die so I could go rate it once I saw that I could get on the leaderboard (which looked to me to be working?).

That said, the concept is top notch, and it never won't be fun to come flying up out of the water. Awesome little game.

Really fun game ! Love the visuals and audio design. Swimming and especially jumping felt really good and satisfying too. I was a bit confused on what to do at first and where to find the golden minnows. Like others have said, maybe a tutorial on where to find and how to save the golden minnows would help. But other than that, awesome game !

Submitted

Such a fun game, the swimming and diving and jumping felt very smooth. My score went on the leaderboard when I died to 100 anglerfish. ':D I didn't read the description properly before playing so I didn't know about the golden minnows but that's my bad, I thought the objective was to dive as deep as I can, and pop bubbles on the way down and up. Perhaps the game could have a tutorial? The sound design is designed very well and the game feels polished. I adore the beautiful pixel art graphics. Good job! :)

Submitted

Probably my favorite game so far! Love the art work, sound, and gameplay. The only thing I felt it needed was something to make it slightly more difficult. I could have just kept swimming forever into the vast blue ocean. 

Submitted

The art id so cute, and the gameplay creative. Good job !

Submitted

Love jumping in the air. . Also cool how you used a gif as a screenshot. Fishiness is def. on point

Submitted

Very polished amazing game. While I found it possible to ramp up score just swimming horizontally, it was fun seeing army of fish I collected pop up bubbles behind me. Great visuals and animations, especially jumping one, felt really satisfying to jump from the bottom of the ocean at max speed. Great work!

Submitted

I got a bunch of blue fish to follow me but I didnt know how to bring them to the surface sadly. The visuals and audio were amazing!

Submitted

It's so good!!!!! If I didn't participate in this game jam, I wouldn't have thought this was made so quickly! the audio is great, the visuals are stunning, and the gameplay loop is perfect! all it's really missing is like, maybe another enemy type, and improved ai. but besides that this is amazing!!!! good job :)

Submitted

I have no idea what is going on , but it's really cool to look at!

Submitted

Really delightful game. You have such a good handle on your visual style - we actually remembered you from the Metroidvania jam that just ended! Loved the Ecaroh aesthetic then, and love it now.

After awhile, you start to feel pretty invulnerable in this game. Maybe a difficulty curve could be added, but regardless its fun to play nonstop. It would be nice to see the leaderboards working, but it's a small nitpick. This was really fun!

Submitted

Very fun and engaging, although once you get enough speed it's pretty hard to die (maybe an enemy that chases you at high speeds? idk) 

The dithering effect on the game is extremely cool, and the music reminds me of donkey kongs. I also like whatever cosmic horror lies beneath
