Fun game with nice graphics, cool addition that the music speeds up when danger is near. The delay between inflating & deflating is long, so it's tough to avoid multiple enemies at once.

Very good game. Core mechanic is interesting, gameplay feels very smooth. Graphics are cute. All other mechanics fit in well.

What a fun game. My team originally had a super similar idea with a pufferfish. We last minute swapped and went with another idea but i am so happy someone made the idea because that was the one I wanted to play so bad! So thank you for making this.

Also I noticed you guys used FMOD as well. Dang that's a lot to unpack in such a short time. Bravo.

benchi99Developer118 days ago

Thank you! We believe sound and music are a huge part of games, and FMOD is an incredible tool to provide a great one in that department. The sound and music team members will be happy about your comment! (And I thank you, I'm behind most of the code part for it)

Thanks for the feedback. I'm happy we got to provide that experience for you! Follow the project if you'd like, we'll be working soon on a post-jam version with bug fixes, potentially more levels too.

Love the graphics and concept! Had fun launching myself forward with the speed boost. Only real problem I had was me getting stuck on chests on occasion, despite that though I still had fun

Really enjoyable game! I love the art and the overall vibe, and the music slaps. It's a really clever idea and I love the speed boost mechanic, I just wish it was a little bit more responsive. Overall, great work!

Audio glitched out for me and the hunting fish in the first level followed me across the screen.

Reply
benchi99Developer123 days ago

Thank you for playing our game! We're sorry to hear you had issues with the audio. If you could, can you elaborate on the issue exactly? We will investigate this for a post-jam build. Regarding the fish, thank you for raising this, I will note this down to address it for the post-jam build as well.

I can’t really describe it but it kinda sounded like it was lagging. I wasn’t running anything resource intensive in the background either. Thanks for reasponding

Thank you for playing our game! We're sadly aware of the level transition colliders not working properly :( This will be addressed in a post-jam build, but I appreciate a lot your persistence to get them working and change levels! Hahah. We're very happy to hear you still had fun!!!

Solid game for some reason it crashed on the second and third levels though. Other than that I loved the art style and the ui was great

Woah, you're fast! We're addressing some final bugs here and there, by the closure time you should find a slightly less broken game :)

Could you elaborate on the crashes, if possible? We would like to investigate those, in case we can do something about them.

Reply
ChickwichSubmitted123 days ago

yeah i pressed escape on the first level and it just crashed for some reason. I tried reloading the page but then the last two levels wouldn't even open

Reply
benchi99Developer123 days ago(+1)

Oh my god, we're so sorry. We don't know very well why this is happening... we do know the game works if you start from the first level and play the entire thing in a single go. So sorry about these issues, we will be writing down a warning in the page!
