Nice game! Well designed!

This was awesome!! i love the design of the geometric shark -really fun game play too!  very polished and i thought little things like the harpoons also taking out the fish and trying to remember where the off screen harpoon trajectory is at made it an even better experience!!  Fantastic work!! :D

The stasis is so OP, and with rocket, you are unstoppable.

Nice game, other than lack of music and sound effects it is perfect.

This game is so relaxing and fun! Other than there being no music, and the gameplay being a tad tedious when grabbing 80 fish, it's super well designed, polished and fun! Well done!

Really fun! It was really easy after a while but other than that fantastic job!

I really enjoyed this. Super engaging level design and it takes quite a bit to grow tiring. I enjoy how there's tension and release, and how the shark moves (sometimes a bit hard to control, but never in a negative way). If it had music and sfx, this would easily be one of the most complete games the jam's had yet. If I had to give feedback is it feels a bit repetitive after playing for a long time and more variety would be nice in enemies and or the fishes/ environment. But because it's a gamejam, it's 100% understandable that this wasn't plausible. All I'm saying is great game

Animation and movement is great, pretty addicting too. GL

This is extremely addicting! I suggest you keep working on this and it will make for a very popular mobile game.
my only pice of feedback is that I think you should get rid of round shapes, like the stickman's head and arms or the little plants on the side for example. I think it would make the game's style more consistent.
Amazing entry!

I wish there were sound effects and music!

I adore the game. You have implemented the theme classically, and the environment is awesome. The core gameplay loop is fun. Visuals are good enough, and everything is geometric at a great level. I really was sad that there was no audio in the game. I wish I could experience it with audio!

Excellent game!

Thanks for the kind words! 5am me decided it was either audio or bed... I chose bed :p I'll be doing a post-jam edit to include some sound, more fish types, more hazards, and maybe some more abilities / game balance. Glad you liked it :)

It is a very good game, I really like the controls and the sensation of movement

Submitted(+1)

Loved this game. The shark movement and actions were very satisfying, and the art was on point. The game was just challenging enough (loved the AI leading their shots) to keep me interested without getting annoying. I'm very impressed that you managed to make a game fitting both minijam and geojam. The only thing that felt lacking was audio. Some good sound effects and music would really sell this.

The game was a little hard for my tastes in a game jam but this is definitely a really good game. The art of the shark was really fun! and the controls felt really good. but it did feel like I wasn't supposed to get the fish at first based on the effects after I figured that out it was really fun! this could be turned into a really great mobile game, my one issue was there was no WASD support

A very creative take on the geometricness criteria. Gameplay is quite fun and moving the shark feels very satisfying. Some music and sound effect could enhance the experience but overall good work!

Submitted(+1)

Wow good job .  Art style is so great!  Even though it was challenging it was also very relaxing to play. The controls feel so smooth, and the upgrade system makes it so much better.

Great game! Really geometric XD

The concept is simple, controls are smooth. The gameplay loop is easy to understand. The only thing really giving me a hard time was when there were 2 harpoons at once. But, what is a game without a challenge. The art style is really cool (Even tho it’s just shapes).

Overall, good job!

This is awesome! The shark's movement is so satisfying, the upgrades are very cool, the art is geometrically top-notch, and the gameplay is simple but so much fun! The AI that shoots the harpoons actually predicts where you'll be, which I really liked. 

And to top it all off, you did two jams in one?

Fantastic job!

Huge thanks for this feedback :) I'd been dreaming of making a game like this for a few years (see my account name haha). I finally found the right time and game jam themes to pull it off. I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
