Never mind. I just rated it 5/5 on all fronts. This game is good

Before I play the game; how did you submit 4 days before deadline?

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

I just submitted a game page as soon as the jam started

Submitted

That is very clever! Nice game tho

Do check out my game as well if you got the time

Submitted

Wow I spent 14 minutes to get it. Haha. Very good game, challenging.

I flap. I flop. I flap again.

What a cracker of a game! I appreciate the accessibility in the save points and minimal control scheme.
Great Job!

I really like how deceptively simple the control scheme is - there is only one button (well two with reset), so it's extremly easy to use but spacing and timing your jumps can be quite tricky. I wish the fish rolled on the ground after landing for a bit more, so you can better control your direction by pressing jump at the right moment although it probably wouldn't look that natural. I also think it would be amazing to see the full game on mobile, if you decide to stick with it - the controls fit perfectly!
And the art is so cozy and chill! Great job!

Wow, this game is so awesome! I love the game mechanics, although they're a bit challenging, which is part of the charm. Awesome color palette and art style. Nice job!

Submitted

Wow the art is stunning. and the sounds are the perfect amount of goofy

Fish 9/10 - Fun game, though it’s a bit too challenging for me. I also really like the art style

Submitted(+1)

A really solid game! creative use of scale

Submitted(+1)

I love this. So much charm and fun, if only I could be a fish better - Crow

Fish goes jump 10/10 would recommend

Submitted(+1)

Super fun game! Short and sweet and a focus on the mechanic and charm, just what I love about jam games!

Developer

Thanks! :)

We made it! Good job!

Developer

Did you win?

Submitted(+1)

This is so cute hahahahahahaha

Developer

Thanks! Did you have any suggestions?

Submitted(+1)

The Art is a 10/10 but the music and sound are what really sold me.

Developer

I’m really glad to hear that, did you have any suggestions?

Submitted(+1)

Interesting idea, but the controls are a bit frustrating. Still a fun little game.

Developer

Ah I’m sad to hear you found it frustrating. Can you elaborate? Do you mean it was just hard to position the fish?

Submitted

Yes, I love the concept which is quite silly, but it was hard to position the fish and I eventually got frustrated since I couldn't manage to position it on a platform. Although I will say that the checkpoints are an appreciated addition.

Developer

ok awesome thank you so much!

Submitted(+1)

The wettest fish ever - 10/10

Developer(+1)

Yes the slime never stops. Is that -10 or 10? lol

Did you have any suggestions also?

Submitted

Haha, it's a 10/10! Super frustrating, but that's what it's supposed to be, yea? Hmm, not sure I have suggestions. How about, some more "interactions" of objects, like the sign at the very start?

Developer

Oh yeah that's a good idea! It took so long to rig that all up though, so I only had time for 1. 

Submitted(+1)

A verry fun but also verry annoying game! Really fun tho! Well done!

Developer

Glad you had fun, did you have any suggestions?

Submitted

the way the respawn system worked felt annoying. If I landed facing the wrong way then whenever I went back to that point I always had to reorient myself which was really difficult. 

Apart from that everything else felt good👍

Developer(+1)

ok thank you very much!
