The sound effects and graphics really add to the game's atmosphere.
loved the water and bubble sounds, it is also good that we can use the mouse instead of the keyboard. the lights and all the elements underwater looks pretty neat!
Perfect combination of visuals, sounds and music for an aquatic atmosphere
Nicely done! Very minimalistic though I think that works in this case. Simple gameplay loop but it all works really well together. Nice job! :)
Cute little game ! Good job :3
The minimalist visuals work really well on this one.
I realy liked your game, especially the visual and the sound. Mechanically, the game is simple but functional, however, I think it would be even better by adding new mechanics/obstacles, perhaps even upgrades for the fish? Or something like that.
Got 8000 points
I agree, the original plan was for you to play as a mutant fish gathering up other mutant parts and abilities from other mutant ocean life, kind of like spore but faster, unfortunately, that version got corrupted on day 4 and I had to make do with what I had.
That's sad news :( I would love to see how your Spore-style game turned out.
Me and my partner also had an idea of making a game similar to Spore, the cell stage. But it would be too complex for the time period, so we decided to do something simpler :) If you have the time, please test our game. Thank you!!
overall nicely polished, felt like it was complete for what it is. I really like the silhouettes, you could probably expand this game a lot for some more replay-ability. very nice!
Really nice entry! I love the visuals of everything, but a little color could have helped a lot to indicate good vs bad. Since everything was black silhouettes, sometimes it was tricky to differentiate what was on screen and see where the hooks were to avoid, especially with the scrolling foreground elements that sometimes obscured your view.
But the art itself was really nice! All the animation feels really nice and the gameplay was super responsive and smooth. The music fit really nicely as well. Great work!
Very relaxing and nice game, like the visuals and sound! Wish it would have more objects to interact with, that would really boost gameplay
Incredibly beautiful art design and a lovely sound scape. The gameplay is short and sweet, but works well for the chill vibe. I'd recommend making the design for the hooks a little more pronounced, there were a few times where I suddenly died for what appeared to be no reason, because the hook was so hard to see. But overall, nice work!
