I liked the game concept and how everything works maybe add some sound effects next and also show animations to attack when it is happening anyways good job

Uhh... I'm confused

Developer

Sorry for the lack of tutorial and visual cues :( We did not get to work in UX at all. The game page has a short explanation, and when we get some free time we will work in the game to finish it the way we intended to. In the meantime, we will also update the game page to better explain the gameplay. Thanks for stopping by!

I see, I'd love to play the game once it's fully completed though, so please lmk when it's ready (via a reply ig or discord if you're in axo's server) :

Good entry with an interesting concept. The game could use some clarification, like a tutorial, and more gizmos in the screen during the game to show you what's happening

Developer

Thanks for playing and the feedback :) Btw I really loved playing "The Last Shell"! Your team did an amazing job!

Interesting tactical strategy game with excellent art and some interesting systems! I would recommend giving some clearer UX to indicate what actions the player can do; such as highlighting what squares a fish can move to, or where a fish can spawn. It is also a little unclear how combat works, so giving some more visual and auditory feedback on how the battles play out would be appreciated. But overall, great work!

We really appreciate all your feedback! We had some player feedback and UX in mind, but did not manage to implement it in time.  Thank you for taking the time to play the game and give criticism!

very fun game with nice graphics however the controls were slightly confusing.

Developer

Hi! Glad you liked it :) Yes, it's missing a tutorial and feedback for the player :( we are working on it, though! Thanks for playing!

this is quite an original concept. It took me a while to understand how to place the pieces and all, perhaps some more visual feedback would make it easier to understand how to place the pieces and why to choose one over the other. The fish assets are adorable, but the short looped soundtrack can become a bit annoying.

Developer

Hey, thank you for stopping by! I agree, one big flaw our game has is the lack of tutorial or hints directed at the player. We are taking notice of the feedback, so we appreciate your comment!

Quite an original take on the concept, good job !

Developer

Very interesting game. Enemies sometimes stopped walking and some of my own fish had refused to move, but overall good atmosphere and fun mechanics. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Yeah, we didn't get in time to finish it without some bugs but thank you for your time to prove it!

This is a great turned based game. However, it would have benefitted from some sort of feedback for when your fish are getting attacked. Possibly some sort of animation would have worked.

Developer

Thanks for playing our game! We appreciate your input :)

The fish art is really cute! At some point the enemies stopped moving, but overall a nice game.

Developer

Hi! Yea... we were really tight on time and this release has some unhandled bugs left :(

Thanks for playing our game and the kind words!

Pretty good, was a bit lost at first but still had quite a bit fun.

Developer

We appreciate your time and feedback! We plan on adding a tutorial to the game page.

Very cool. Could've benefited from a tutorial 

Developer

Hello, thanks for stopping by! Completely agree. We will add a tutorial to the game page since we ran out of time to add it inside the game.
