Pretty funny game. Loved the puns. Movement and attacks felt slow but it's animations and different combos were great. Good job!
10000% fishiness. I see NET profit for these sharks in the near waters. The crustaceans will be in serious hot waters!!
ps: LOVE THE DIALOGUEEE. gameplay wise, i wish the jump were move OP, and i could more easily avoid/dash away from the enemies. I kept dieing and replaying cause i wanted to see all the dialogueeeeeeee.
pps: ofcourse Gil makes me do his dirty work, he's SPINELESS!
Awesome haha. Thanks so much for playing! Did you see the end?
my floppy fins weren't strong enough to reach the end *sad*
Love the retro style, and coins remember playing Hercules, The dialogues are GOLD!, GOLD! references like carptel, just genius, the combos are nice, though I am just bad at that I have died many times :(.
Thanks for try, trying, and trying again! Next update will make the game easier haha.
good game, I love the artstyle
I like your cat avi
I LOVE the theming and art of this game! The music is great too. I found the controls a bit clunky and slow which made the game pretty difficult, but I think if the attacks were sped up a bit this would be perfect.
Tysm! Already have some hitbox and attack tweaks in the works, stay tuned!
Wow! What an amazing game! This was genuinely a lot of fun to play through and the different combos were fun to try out! And don't even get me started on the fish puns, they were off the hook!
Perhaps more combos are in order...!
its really cool game i like the sound effect and the combat system its really amazing i love it
the dialogs too they are not bad and i like the simple pixel art .👏😁
Glad you liked it
Fun game :) Reminded me of classic arcade games like The Simpsons and Ninja Turtles.
You nailed it on the artistic aspect of the game, it also gave off a strong arcade game vibe.
I was going for TMNT for sure yeah, glad you liked it
i really liked the game i’m looking forward to seeing more projects from though in future!
Awesome, I'll be working on this one for a little while and post devlogs when I update it!
Wow, your game is very good and beautiful. I love the aesthetics of it, lots of details (particles, "voice" of the shark). I add a lot of fun.The combo system is nice.
I just wish the game was a bit easier, especially for the first few encounters. You can easily get hit and lose your life, especially without a weapon. Maybe it would have been nice to be able to "cancel" attack to avoid being hit.
I am definitely going to play again to make more progress.
Thanks for playing, I plan to expand on the game and fine tuning the combat is definitely up there in the priorities!
Love the puns, the animation is great, great art style, fun gameplay, the sharks are adorable. The combat could be a little hard to navigate but I think with practice its not bad. (I'm not great at beat-em-ups so take that with a grain of salt)
Thanks for playing, I am glad I went with the more cute-like design for the sharks. Combat will be tweaked heavily in the future, stay tuned!
