The movement is really fun, but wall jumping is a little bit difficult. The art also fits well.
Thanks! I will be sure to have a look.
Very interesting movement when you're out of the water. It's hard to control but also felt quite intuitive. Would be interesting to see a local multiplayer race mode, I think it would be fun to try and frantically jump over my friends to get to the finish line
haha great idea! Thanks for your feedback!
Great mechanics, good art (except for the background :p). I wished there were more levels, even though I struggled at least 10 minutes on the last one x) The camera moving at each jump is a bit annoying too. Great game!
haha the background has been quite controversial surprisingly!
Thanks for the feedback! I definitely needed more levels to spread out the difficulty curve a bit. I will look into the camera.
Appreciate it!
The movement was very entertaining, but for precision platforming it could use some tweaks while still having floppy movement. There was more than one occassion where I overshot a jump and had no way to salvage it. I could have lined it up earlier from the water, but that's hard to gauge.
Despite that, it was a very entertaining little game and I made it to the end :)
Thanks for playing!
The controls were deliberately supposed to be a bit out of control but I know what you mean. Maybe in a future update I can tweak it to be a bit more readable. That way it will be easier to recover a miss timed jump.
Well done making it to the end!
Love the concept. very fun! The controls are very quirky but it feels good.
minor feedback : I died once or twice because I jumped down instead of going up like I was supposed to. Maybe make it a bit bor clear when you need to wall jump and when you need to drop.
Appart from that, good job. I had a good time playing it.
thanks for the feeback! I'm definitely getting lots of things I didn't even realise from everyone's comment which is greatly appreciated!
I will try and make the level path a bit clearer in future! Appreciate the comment!
Wow that last level was a doozie! Really cool take on platforming, it made me feel like a fish out of water (hah) losing control and getting desperate as my meter ticked down. Theme adherence wasn't that strong to be honest, but it's still a great entry!
thanks for you comment and I'm glad you had fun! With some more time I would have added a bit of a clearer story (trying to reach the other fish at the end in the fish tank).
But really appreciate your review. Thanks!
Interesting mechanic
My girlfriend is in love with this game! Thank you :D
thank you for playing! I'm glad she enjoyed the game
The game makes me smile. It's way too hard to play for me, but it is the one and inly fish simulator :D
Haha thanks!
Fun game! Would have liked some checkpoints for the longer levels, but apart from that you did a good job! I liked the fish sprite too.
thanks! My first decent pixel art haha
The game is really fun! The wall jumping is a little difficult and maybe you could put some checkpoints in the longer levels but overall really cool idea.
thanks for the feedback! A few people have said about checkpoints so maybe I'll add that if I continue development.
The movement is really fun, but wall jumping is a little bit difficult. The art also fits well, well done! :D
thanks! Hopefully it was difficult in a fun challenge way not a bug/poor code way?! Haha appreciate your comment
That game is actually really fun! The controls are pretty hard but feel responsive and all, good job I really love the concept!
Thanks for the feedback!
Love it. This game really creates an experience that makes me feel like I’m a fish.
haha I'm glad!
Super cute game! I loved the pixel art, and I love how the fish starts flopping out of water! Very cool!
thankyou!
Interesting concept. Appreciate using Game Maker! Though, very hard to control. Autojump makes things really bad, you should've make jump separate button with fish jumping just slightly on the ground. Responsive controls is a key for a good platformer game
Thanks for your critique. I made the player deliberately bouncy and slightly out of control like a fish out of water. I will think about the small jump option though, good idea!
Definitely a unique platformer!
You can go a long way with this if you play to the unique strengths of it!
Appreciate you comments! Thanks for checking it out
