This is a nice game! There were moments were it ran a little slow for me, but it looked really good. Great job!
Also thanks to those who pointed out the ctrl + trick to fix the image.
For some reason I do not see the "play fullscreen" button and the UI is getting cut ... I tried with only keyboard and it seems there should be a button I cannot see there, will try again later then, this is how I see the "how to play" page:
Thanks to the other commenters for the tips on CTRL+ to zoom in to play the game. It’s really pretty seeing the big schools of fish swimming around.
Thank you! I'm glad that worked!
I only had issues with the screen resolution. A tip, go to your game page, edit it, and activate the fullscreen button.
Other than that, I loved the visual style of your game, it reminded me of the classic PS2 game 'Jaws Unleashed'.
I will do that! Thanks for playing and leaving some feedback! I really appreciate it!
for those having a problem with small screen zooming with ctrl + works for me. nice visuals and smooth controlls. i don't know if it's a skill issue but i feel like outmaneuvering the bernacles is luck based? they move too damn fast to do anything about it. fun beautiful game. good job.
Thanks for the tip for those who couldn't get it to work! And yea I tried to make it relatively difficult and the speed of the barnacles increases by like 20 percent every 5 seconds or so. Definitely making it harder lol.
I am having some issues with the ui and click events.
The thumbnail is an absolute banger though
Thank You! Idk if you saw but maybe try pressing control +!
this is just my take and is not the rule.
Player character controls were smooth, but the button layout took a while to get use to. I would suggest not having to use the mouse to start the game and then switching to the key board to control the player character. I would have liked to use the mouse to aim the player in the direction and and wasd to move the player. The visuals which in my opinion is how all the art assets come together is really nice although simple works well with the music, but the chaotic nature of the game play did not fit too well . I felt like was trying to relax and a mosquito was bussing in my ear.I would have liked an obstacle course instead and then have the barnacles attack at certain points, my idea is really generic I know lol. finally the game starts lagging at around 700 points and then almost stops over 1000 so that was a thing. I could have played this game for hours just to relax otherwise. all together a really good entry. The clown fish psychotic, my favorite is the manta, no wait the shark , no the dolphin, I really liked it
I hope my opinions are helpful
Super helpful thanks for playing and taking the time to leave feedback!
