cool concept and good gameplay! :)

Developer

Thanks! A bit simple but it's enough for like 3min of play ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

The game is kinda cool I have to admit, but I agree with others, you should add more species of fish, but overall, it's a great game, can you also play my game so I can get feedbacks please!!

Developer

Sure I'll definately try your game!

Submitted(+1)

I enjoyed your game. But I think you should add more species of fish. Also, the mechanics of the daylight saving time when you are hunted by those you hunted seemed a bit odd. Maybe it would have been more interesting to add other fish that could attack you right out of the darkness. Nevertheless, you have done a good job!

Developer

This is a good idea if we ever decide to take this idea further. So you wouldn't be completely safe even in the darkness ^_^

(That's the most evil thing I've ever seen) :D

Love the spin on the theme of light and dark more, and how the game aesthetics tie into it!

Developer

Thanks! That's wonderful feedback. !

The aesthetics and theme interpretation are excellent.

This is fun, I like how it keeps switching up. One of the best interpretations of the theme yet!

Developer

Oh wow! Thanks alot. I guess that's a "feather in the old hat" as they say :D

Liked this a lot! The graphics look great and the whole game has a nice atmosphere that really ties it together. I wish the individual phases were maybe a little bit longer, and I agree that there should be a warning for the switch, but overall this is a good entry!

Here's a Devlog for this project!

Neat to see another game that doesn't just reverse the roles once, but keeps switching them around!

The atmosphere of the game is really good and I do like that when it's dark, you need to actively search for the fish, but when it's light and the fish can hunt you, you can clearly see where the fish are.

A small issue I had with switching between hunting or being hunted is that, when I was hunting and the hunting phase ended, I'd usually be with quite a lot of fish and I'd immediately take damage. I think it would be nice if there was a little warning that phases were going to change, or a small period of immunity when the fish start hunting you!

Still, I do very much like the art of the game - I love cyan/purple/pink colors and this game fits that need exactly!

Developer(+1)

I fully agree with you. The state change is just instant but I left that as a "future-me problem" and didn't have time to polish. Also would have wanted to add an indicator for when the dash is replenished but a Jam game is a JAM GAME :D

For the art I have to give credit to my friends. I did literally almost none of it :D They're professionals and I'm just a noob-coder :=)

Very clever take on the theme! You really nailed the atmosphere change between hunting and being hunted! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks alot! For the atmosphere I have to give credit to my artist friends -  I was just coding and co-designing :D

I really like your graphic. the gameplay reminds me of Packman when you eat ghosts or run from them

Developer

I actually at one point called our game idea "Pac-Man 2.0" while brainstorming :D

really nice game good job

Developer

Thank  you! It's a bit simple but I think it's good Jam Game. Fun for 3minutes and not too difficult :D

Very simple game but it has a very pretty atmosphere.  Great job!

Developer

Thanks appreciate it. My friends are professional gameartists so they can do a lot in a short time.

very cool, looks nice, game play loop is pretty simple, but i cant really fault you lol, it is a game jam game, 

i would however like an indicator to know when my dash is ready again

Developer

I agree with you. We just didn't have time to implement that ๐Ÿ˜‚ Thanks for playing! 

Developer

Thank god for the grace period!

Building the game caused a complete Game-Breaking bug and while fixing it (which I managed within the time period) I caused alot of physics bugs which would have severly diminished gamefeel.

But the grace period allowed me to check my code and for a 48h game it's pretty okay! A fun 3-5min while fitting the theme well.
