Very smooth animation controller on the shark. 

Developer

Thanks, it is way better now I am changing the concept and use the controller and animation for an exploring game.

Simple but pretty fun! Definitely could be expanded upon it's a good concept

Developer(+1)

Thanks very much. I will definitely expand upon it and make an undersea exploration game.

the sharks are evolving

Developer

Yes maybe one day they can fly as well, oh wait...

be careful for you can press ctrl+w which closes the tab if you are playing in the browser ... 

the movement of the shark is pretty fluid ... I felt the up and down movement to be a bit .... it feels kinda slugish but the most dangerous thing it is that multiple times I pressed ctrl to go down and then w thinking it could go down and forward ... then the tab closes

Developer(+1)

Oh I didn't thought about it, thanks. You are the second person who says up and down movement is weird, I am already working on the game, improved performance and visuals, now I am going to work on those points. I cannot upload an update because of the voting but it will be a nice exploring game I hope.

Very well done the realistic movement of the tail!

Developer

Thank you.

Fun little Temple Run style game.  The shark's up-and-down felt a little slow to respond, but other than that it was very nicely put together.

Developer(+1)

I have noted your feedback, thanks.

verry fun movement and graphics are very nice however it was slightly difficult to play as my laptop struggled to run it.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I will look for ways to optimize the performance 👍

it feels very satisfying to move around as the shark. This game tells a deep story about pollution in our shark rivers which is WOKE

Developer(+1)

Thanks, my prior aim was to create a satisfying feeling of swimming. I got lots of ideas on pollution and fighting against it as a shark, but this is a job for after the jam.

I really liked the animation of the shark tail. I would have liked some kind of a life counter or something that tells me how close I am to the game over.

Good job overall

Developer

There is no life count, when you touch a barrel it is game over :) I wanted to keep the game screen clean, that is why I did not write the time on top. Thanks for the feedback.
