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!!
This game explains why I've never seen orange rocks out in the wild.
It's a fun game with a nice art-style and animations. I ignored all advice about not eating too many fish and instead became the chonker I was destined to be. Level 3 rekt me, though
hahah yeah that might be the reason we don't find this kind of rocks if not underwater. Well done, you are the first one that actually ignored the advice and noticed that animation.
Thank you for giving it a try and I appreciate the art worked out. I spend more time doing art than programing, that's why I didn't have a chance to polish the levels before the submission deadline.
The game is fun ! Fishes was yummy, good job :D
Glad to hear that! thanks for playing it!! :)
That was more like reverse flappy bird . fun little game, I will give it another go later I really want to get to the end, the shark came out of no where and gave me a scare lol. So the heath bars are a nice touch instead of one hit and die. your krita skills are impressive that shark looks menacing. and thanks for sharing that link to the godot shaders, I too tried to use a shader with my game to add a water waving effect to the back ground and the player it is really subtle .
when your game starts it goes full screen but the game does not fill the screen for me. I think that there may be 2 ways that my fix this, in godot project settings set stretch mode to canvas items , or in itch set the game window size to the size of your game window .
Awesome, thank you so much for the help!, I was indeed having issues with the screen resolution as on my desktop the waves looks smaller but when I submitted to itch.io, the waves got bigger. I will give it a try. I have set the manual size on itch.io but didn't tried the canvas items config. appreciated all the feedback!! the shader just in case is for the background sun and water, for the waves I have followed this tutorial:
Very cute! I love the choice of an otter as the character and the fact that you have to collect rocks, as otters do use them as tools. I was a little bit frustrated with the hit box, and how precisely you had to make the otter's head hit the fish and rock, but I got used to it after a while. Overall, a delightful little game!
yeah, they use the rocks as tools, Otters are really fun, I wanted then to have some additional movements for it, but didn't have the time to do it. happy to hear that you find it cute. I agree I got frustrated my self trying to collect and eat, I need to work on getting that polished to do not be so easy but either so difficult.
So much fun! The otter made a total difference to the game's identity :)
Thank you for the feedback!!, I am glad to hear that, keep me motivated! :)
Cool game :) I liked how the fish tried to dodge out of your way instead of just swimming in a straight line. Made it a little tougher to make sure that you're well fed. 🐠 I feel like some different music/visuals (even something simple like different coloured rocks) for each new level would've helped them feel fresher and more unique. Still though, great job! :D
Thanks for the feedback!, those are nice tips, appreciated :)
I had fun playing through the first level - the second level felt a little bit repetitive although the sharks were a good addition!
yeah, second level was kind of the same, I made a game before that first levels were pretty hardcore, so I tried to do it more easy at the beginning but ended with a not so much fun 2d level , thanks for the feedback and glad you had fun with the 1rst one, I will be updating the game :)
Good game!
The fish running away from us add a good challenge!
Good job!
I am glad that mechanic is working out, thanks for passing by :)
Cute game ! I like the fish designs and them running away along with the hostile fishes gives the game just the right amount of challenge. I don't know if this is a bug but I couldn't pick up orange rocks that are in front of the sea plant decoration thing. Overall , great job !
Thank you so much, yes it is a bug, I didn't have the chance to fix it on time. I posted the game 8 minutes before the submission was closed :D
Simple, but worked well, Did like the fishes running away from you - really nice touch. I initially thought I'd just have to hit them but when I saw them running away tought it was a nice little surprise.
Good job!
I appreciate it!! :) spoiler alert: next levels have some piranhas that chase you
i can not move with wasd, is someone having same problem?
that's weird, which broswer is it? awsd is working , but could you try also the arrows? I have put two bindings on it for each
