Wow, it’s amazing that you managed to create such a polished game for a game jam. The game mechanics are fresh, fun, and really challenging.
amazing! looked, felt, and sounded great!
This game is off the hook. Good colors and good tunes.
I enjoyed playing the game and thought it was a good challenge.
Nice visual look while still being simple! really juicy animation and fun game concept!
Soooo cute, I loved it! Congrats!
The artstyle, music, and theming of the whole game was absolutely amazing! The game really does feel like a cohesive whole. I felt like I got a handle on the basics of the controls really fast (right after the first level), but I can tell there's a very high skill ceiling that I didn't even get close to touching (which is a good thing!). I will say, the best feeling from the game was building up crazy momentum as the squid, but it never quite felt like the levels were designed with that momentum fully in mind. Also, shooting two pieces of ink up never felt neccesary, and it also felt like I could achieve the same speed/momentum by shooting the ground a few times. All around an amazing game!
yeah that makes sense I only do the big bubble because it looks cool, but its not super useful yet ;(
My inner squid/kid was very happy with this - really lovely style and ambience created here. Well done
nice 2D Splatoon experience!
Great game with great movement mechanics! It was nice finding where all the soft-spots were and repairing the structure. Great job!
Really polished design. The game is interesting and plays out nicely. The mechanics feel very unique. Great work!
Awesome visuals and super polished controls. Everything is squishy and juicy. Getting around was difficult and ver satisfying. Congrats!
Honestly... I think I enjoyed this game "incorrectly". I loved the color and splitting and all that, but I preferred to enjoy the huge momentum buildup you got by splitting the ground right before landing... and hated having to splat the structure itself! Great concept! Amazing style. And gorgeous ink effects
oh wow i really enjoyed this one!! the artstyle is simple but super cohesive and when the color comes in it's super fun to see! i love the movement, i found that stacking a big bubble then "jumping" normally lets you get crazy speeds, and it's really fun to control the squid in the air too! i think this might be my favorite of the jam so far, i think you did a really good job!
As a fan of squid-likes, and the genre of squid games, I approve. It was satisfying filling in blocks! Getting around was difficult, however it does emulate how a squid would struggle to move on land. Overall, very unique
Pretty interesting concept and cool visuals!
Took a bit to understand the controls but enjoyable game. Congrats.
Fun game ! I find the squid movement quite difficult to handle but really great job overall !
Really fun mechanics and great art style
Really fun mechanics
