Pretty good but there are a couple things.
Firstly, the fishes and piranhas can get to small which caused me to get eaten by piranhas I couldn't even see. Secondly, you can't pick up the rocks when they are in the same area as the islands.
Don't get me wrong, it was still a good game but those were just some thing's that were annoying me.
also thank you for playing my game and sorry that I'm so late
Suprisingly fun! I love how the fish actually try to run away instead of just letting you eat them like I would've expected, making you need to work for your food. Great game!
Reminds me of old flash games haha. Needing to eat in between collecting the rocks was interesting. The hitbox to collect things seems a bit small, and hard to hit but not in a challenging way, more of a janky way. The levels didn't seem to add enough to keep it interesting enough to play passed level 3 where I died at (or went to another place). But it was alright.
Appreciated all the feedback, Is always good to know different points of view to improve the playability.
Fun game! I laughed when you specified that the otter didn't die, he just went somewhere else. I had some issues with the hitboxes not being able to collect some of the rocks, but other than that I liked it!
if you have laugh, then mission accomplished! Glad you found it fun!!
Very original concept and I like the attention to details like the fact that shark eat fish too!
you did notice! Awesome! Thank you for the feedback :)
Pretty cool!
Pretty fun. Those piranha messed me up! This game was like no otter :)
Thank you for playing!! sorry for the piranhas, I just realized that sea otters actually eats piranhas :O
All around a pretty fun game for what it is :P Like the little otter collecting da rocks (its cute). I didn't get to see any sharks in my playthrough (which is too bad since it would've been nice to be a bit worried :)
thank you for rating my game and for the feedback :), Sharks appears on the second level and above, I should have made the first level a bit shorter :(
Fun game, congrats. I was going to say that picking up rocks was kinda hard, but then I read that you embraced the bug as a feature xD Good job on that feature!
hahah yeah, if it works don't touch it. :D, thanks for the feedback!
Interresting game, I'm a big otter fan, this did not disapoint !
yeah Otters are really fun and cute themselves, happy to hear that the game did not let you down! :)
I really liked the paralax ocean and the background, and the otter ofc. Good job!!
glad you liked the parallax and ocean, I enjoyed doing those parts of the game :)
Managed to beat it. Last level was pretty challenging but enjoyable. Good job!
Awesome!! I barely beat it. thanks for passing by here and give your feedback :)
really fun game and the music fits it very well for the orange rock i noticed that when you try t pick it up in the seagrass thingy spots it causes problems but when on the floor it is fine hope it helps anyways good game.
Thank you for playing and for the feedback!, yeah that's a common issue, thanks for noticing it and reporting it :)
Can't ever have enough flappy fish!
haha thank you!
Fun game! The game is surprisingly tricky, but I enjoyed the challenge. Still died to the piranhas though lol. I had fun playing as an otter! Good job!
Thank you for coming by and take the challenge!!I am glad it was fun :)
Fun! I love the art, especially the otter. Something about some of the art gives me Insaniquarium vibes, which is awesome.
Gameplay is simple, but fun. I found that quite a bit of the challenge was in figuring hitboxes, which didn't always feel too great. For example, there were several times where I felt like I had collected an orange rock, but instead I just watched it pass me by (for the hundredth time, haha). Maybe part of this is just that I'm not that great at the game though.
Overall, it kept me coming back, which is a great sign that you're onto something with this! Good work!
I didn't know Insaniquarium :O , I just searched that on steam, nice!!, I really appreciate all the feedback :), indeed the rock cannot be picked just going through when it is in front of a bush, it is a bug, and somehow there is a workaround that allows you to pick it if you try to pick it with the Otter's belly, I didn't planned that, just happened. lol. I am really happy hearing it kept you coming back, cheers!
Couldn't get past the third. i love the sprites and the water getting lower, the fish running away was simple but a very good touch. good game.
thanks for the feedback! glad you liked :) yeah I have notice more people are having problem with the 3rd, including myself. I don't know what I was thinking when implementing it
this is so cute!! I struggled a lot to eat enough fish; I'm not very good at surviving as an otter xD congrats on a wonderful and enjoyable submission to this jam :D
Thank you for your kind words!! keeps me motivated :), and yeah I also struggled at surviving :D
Awesome game! I managed to get to level 3 but then the scary fish hurt me. I love the game over screen xD
Thank you for passing by and playing it, I am glad the game over screen worked out :) , the scary fish was mean to be a piranha but looks more like a fish :D
Why does the otter want the orange rocks? I need to know.
I didn’t recognize that some of the fish can hurt you; until it was too late and I died. Maybe some more visual separation would have helped me.
That's a good question, I planed to have a nice introductory story, but deadline was eating me alive, I have posted the game just minutes before it ends. long short answer, otters use rocks as tools to open some crustaceans shells while floating backwards. sorry the piranhas weren't so different from the regular fishes, that was actually part of the design though the head was planned to be bigger, it looked bigger when I was drawing it, lol, it just got smaller on the game. those are nice feedback tips that indeed I need to include like the visual indicators you mentioned, thanks for spending time to play it!!
