I did it after dying for like 20 minutes. And I totally didn't just spam the shotgun and DEMOLISH that bass. Honestly though, the swordfish are really hard to dodge, I think they could use more telegraphing, both in terms of the direction you have to dodge and time. It sometimes feels like they only show which way they're going just as they hit you. It's also just not super clear where you have to dodge so I mostly prayed for the gun attack because that one I know how to block. Also bass fact? Also is this screenshot too spoilerific?
Hey thanks for the feedback and for putting in the effort to beat the game!
Did you know that there's a type of bass calles Giant Sea Bass that can reach a size of 8.2 feet (2.5 m) and a weight of up to 562 pounds (255 kg) ?
Wow such a great game! Requires some skill to beat, love that
Ok I finished it. That was really satisfying :D
This is the best game I've played in my life. never have I said "Hell yeah" so much when playing a single game
Hello Yeah
Very fun and fishy game, also I love the cat :D Wasn't able to win but I enjoyed playing!
this is really cool. makes for a really cool boss fight for such a simple game. I love the options and responses you do just like in dark souls. I gotta say its pretty hard, but at least there was a cat button to keep me going through the challenge
cool game but the attacks should be more telegraphed. also it seems like block doesnt block the sword swings? pretty fun tho
You must dodge the sword swings, the block is for gun shots
Dodging was a bit tricky, but I eventually got the hang of it. Loved the hyper-realism visuals and play on words in the title!
I saw your post about bass facts in the community. I did my best, but that bass kiled me like 30 times ;-; I didn't quite understand how to dodge, and also the function of the cat/frying pan? Sometimes I could dodge, but 9 out of 10 times I got hit :/
But anyway, I found the idea/art of the game very unique. If there were a gradual evolution of difficulty (other fish battles), and also better instructions for each action within the game, it would be a very fun game to play.
Furthermore, could I perhaps get a bass fact for my effort? :) 🐟
hey thanks for taking the time to give some feedback! I understand that the game isn't really straightforward in terms of controls, the pan is used to block the gun, the cat is there to be cute
by the way did you know that the european seabass was one of Europe's first fish to be farmed commercially? they were cultured in coastal lagoons and tidal reservoirs before mass-production techniques were developed in the late 1960s
Epic boss fight!! But really tough & requires lightning fast reflexes that I do not seem to possess xD
I couldn't beat it, the bass is too powerful XD Nice cat though!
Fun concept, though perhaps the controls could be more intuitive.
thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately the controls seem to be a pretty common issue
Tried my best couldn’t beat it, my fingers can’t get with the strange controls. Love the cat, hate the swordfish
yeah the controls problem seemr petty obvious in retrospect, thanks for the feedback
CAT!!!
Music goes hard, but the controls could be refined a bit
w
thank
I tried so haaaard but still haven't been able to beat this yet 😭It feels borderline impossible to figure out what way the swordfish is gonna hit so I always coincidentally dodge *into* it sjksdadsfgbd Loooove the visual style and just general vibe of the game tho! :D Cat's my favourite character for sure hahaha
I did realise that when your meter thing(?) fills up, you can like spam heal or shoot and it'll activate multiple times which if unfortunate since it literally allows you to one-shot the poor fish 😩 Overall BASSed game tho!
yeah the game is pretty hard, also thanks for the feedback
I already knew about the bug and I know how to fix it but I admit I left it in because I found it funny
I'll tell cat about the compliments
Blursed concept! A little hard to tell what arrow to press to dodge sword attacks (also love the cat)
This is a fun game. The Key controls are a little difficult to use. I like the concept!
This is the most unique game I have seen in this jam so far! The only thing I would have changed was to give more of a heads up before the sword fish is attacking the player.
wild game but very hard. i don't understand what the cat does and can't seem to block the sword fish but i like it.
You can only bock the gun, the cat is does his best
(I'm going to make that more clear in the game page)
[thanks for the feedback]
I really like the concept but the key selection for the controls made it ergonomically difficult to input everything, especially with the time windows for certain actions. Great sense of humor and art direction. Felt very warioware and I liked that.
Yeah maybe the buttons aren't the closest, if I ever work again on this game I'll fix that, thanks for the feedback
