Description:
In the game "Salmon's Leg Day," you play as a salmon with legs, trying to reach water. But there's a twist – you can't control your legs properly. Your goal is to avoid obstacles and make it to the water.
As you play, it gets harder to move because your legs don't listen well. Each step wears you out, making it even tougher to reach your goal. Can you help the clumsy salmon make it to the water, or will it be stuck on land forever? Dive into "Salmon's Leg Day" and see if you can beat the challenge!
Controls:
A / D - walk
Hold SPACE - sit
Release SPACE - jump
A / D while holding SPACE - jump angle
R - ragdoll

Quite fun game, it's not easy to be a salmon with legs ! Good job
I had so much! The background word tutorial was helpful. I wasn't great at jumping over the rocks but had a blast dancing.
sdhhdfjhajfdjg the way the salmon walks is great! I absolutely lost it when I heard the AUGH noise from the pufferfish eats carrot video HAHAHA 🥕🐡 It was going fiiiine until I reached the bit where you gotta jump a huge gap between two branches. I tried so hard for like half an hour cheering poor salmon on and HEY IT WORKED! Eventually I made the jump! :DD Beating this game was genuinely one of my biggest life achievements. Thank you for the experience 😭
so ridiculous! great job!
Funny idea :p I like the art (its really goofy and well done) and the sounds the fish makes when moving around (it sounds like a fish flopping around). I kept getting stuck though but maybe thats just cause I'm not good at platforming :(
very clunky, but it's goofy in a good way. I enjoyed my experience
what was that xD really funny concept, i love'd it, good rage game but funny, I invite you to play my game and give me some feedback as well ^^
Missed opportunity to go full QWOP. xD I like the animation on the lil fish dude, and as far as "frustrating silliness" games go it is pretty well put together.
love this, kinda found what I thought to be little hack smashing the space in air sometimes make you able to keep jumping without touching the ground.
but that did not go too far and I got pretty stuck in here
kinda a new take on those rage quit games, would love to see some streamer try it
nice music btw
I thought i knew what gaming was and i now know i was wrong, you are the best dont let anyone tell you otherwise.
this was very funny to try to play! these kinds of physics based movements games? (I dont know how to describe it lol) arent something im very good at but were always funny
I love this! I'm not very good at the game at all but this is a funny and creative idea. Nice Work!
