Notes (optional)
If I felt the need to explain anything it's that the flies are collectable. The few people I had to play the game said they thought the flies were dangerous, and I was unsure of how to fix that issue.

It is indeed the best fish experience :3. Very cute little game ! Good job !

I LOVE the gameplay! I feel like the sharks chasing you presented a nice little dilemma: should I take the risk of them chasing me or wait them out and possibly starve? The loved the moment I discovered you could also jump out of the water to avoid the sharks. Very solid game!!

Lots of fun!! I could play for hours!

Its like we have similar concepts, like the bushes underwater to hide, the sharks, I also was making an alligator, but didn't have time to complete it, I love how the fish can jump to the surface, congratulations!!

I really enjoyed playing your game! It feels so simple, yet hard. Also sounds and visual are authentic, that's nice

Fun little game. Nice art and I really loved jumping motion. Great job!

Fun game 🙂

Jump off the water like a dolphin to get the fairy/firefly or to dodge the alligators are so pleasant!

I just missed some background music (a theme to play when chased by sharks would be a nice touch), but I liked the sfx.

Good job!

I''m for sure gunna add some music later. What kind of music do you thing would fit it best? I spent a little time in my composition software, but I was quite uninspired.

Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdpftvCFXrY

But only played is chased (add a fadein/fadeout effect to turn it on or off)

For the background music I think any tropical themed music would be nice 😉!

That sounds like a cool idea. Reminds me a lot of how the music would change as enemies approached in Zelda. I’ll most definitely take your advice!

A fun game, I did way better once I figured out that when I jumped the sharks would give me a little more breathing room.  I absolutely loved bouncing off that aligator.  Not sure if 77 is a good time, but I felt pretty good about it.  Great entry!


Developer

77 is definitely good. 154 is my best, but I literally made the game.

A quick, fun little game! The visuals and animations look really clean, the movement feels great, and the scoring system is good motivation to play again. My one piece of feedback is that left click to hide feels a little awkward, I would have preferred another key, such as space bar. But overall, great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the advice! Now that you mention it that does seem more natural. Currently you can use H, Space, and left click to hide but I chose left click for the icon. I'll change that when I update the game.

Fun game, I like how there are both sharks underwater and gators at the surface
