Pretty world, nice palette. Controls (which is not what this round is being rated on, so no probs!) are a little awkward having to use the mouse and trying to wrangle the bubble at the same time, but can see that as an interesting mechanic.

Loved this. Would be among my favorite entries if the movement was working as you intended, but hey, that's not part of this round, so top marks from me. You can tell how thoughtfully you designed each challenge. Really well done.
Great work! As many comments noticed the mechanic was a bit hard to pull of, great idea though! The music and art (as well as story with the koi fish) are sweet!
One suggestion would be to not have Ctrl + WASD, as my browser closed the tab many times when I pressed Ctr+W...
Was nice to read the blog post! Thanks for sharing!
Very cute game and very aesthetic! The sound and visuals are sooo good! I couldn't get past the first jump in the game unfortunately, but what I did see was very pretty! I am sure the rest of the game was lovely! The music was very relaxing! Great job! :D
I just accidentally got past the first obstacle. Woo! Time to try the game out for real lol. Nvm. I got stuck. lol! Still really cool game!
Visually it looks great and sounds beautiful! I love the Story about the Koi turning into a Dragon, it adds a great story building element to help explain the very difficult player controls. Your Games Web Page is wonderful put together. I just relaxed in this game for like 10 mins - TY for making this :)
I had some trouble with the controls, but I really love the art style and ambience of the game! The inspiration and story behind the game is really unique, and I am looking forward to seeing where you take this.
This was really cool! The music and the art style worked extremely well together. The controls were hard, I managed to get a little far but ended up getting stuck in a wall and having to restart. But the times I did manage to advance felt really satisfying. I would love to see this game in Its full form, so please, don't leave it behind and give us a new release!
Great looking level! Nice particles and feel. I couldn't see much as I kept getting stuck on walls and got too frustrated to continue. Controls were hard to use but that doesn't matter as it is ranked on the level design, not mechanics :)
Game looks great and I know what to do but the controls make it too hard unfortunately. Shame. I'd like to see more though, I'm sure you can improve the control scheme in later rounds!
Very cool looking. I was not not good enough to get used to the control mechanics and it took me a while.
I like the story and the music is very relaxing. It took me some time to figure out what to do in this room since the water at the top was a bit hard to distinguish from the background. I'm looking forward to playing the version with 100 rooms!
Also I just saw your question on Discord about how to implement a wavy water surface. I used this idea in my previous game jam and I think it could work well with your game as long as you don't make the waves too large for readability.
I'm glad you like the story and music! I'm getting good feedback on that aspect. So I'm considering keeping going with this game after GDKO is over. Will keep you posted if I do
And yes! That is exactly what I was looking for! Will experiment with it (again, after the jam). Thanks for sharing that! I really appreciate all your feedback.
the game seems to be really nice and the artwork is great but the controls are really janky and make te game really hard to play
I think this game looks really nice and love the whole story about it but I seem to get stuck in the first wall every time I try to get over it with the bubble dash
