My arm is legit on fire wtf how long is this game i got to 1.8k meters and got picked up by a bird back into the whirlpool. Called it a day there how long is this game gah damn
whirlpool is like halfway there kekw
Made it all the way to that infinite bear waterfall at ~2000 METERS and just like a real salmon i got tired and was caught by a bear.
Now I desperately wanna know how far I had left
Nice, another fish flopping game! Yours is a bit easier since you're in the water and can control your direction better, but it's also more difficult because I'm physically wearing myself out trying to swim upstream. My tendons hurt! Almost made it to 1000m, but had to take a break and rest. Fits the theme very well.
This was a fun game, I think the visuals of this game were very good! I think the one obstacle that was a bit too hard is when I had to jump over the land. Also I found if I fast button pressed the right and left arrow I usually got to where I was going. Fun game and I think it felt foddian for sure!
I got eaten by a bear and now my forearm hurts. 9/10 will play this every day to get swole
seriously screw that bear though. It took so much effort to climb up that waterfall straight into his mouth
Besides that, I do like the controls and I think this fits the theme well!
Love the visuals and how the salmon controls. Gave me big big pokemon stadium 1 magikarp minigame vibes. Fuck the eagle, loved the game even though im dogshit at it
Made it to the first waterfall but had to stop because I was waking the neighbors with my mech keyboard :(
KEKW
Pretty unique game visually - felt very nostalgic playing through this. I could see this being developed into a pretty cool fish sim as mentioned in other comments! c:
The graphics in this game are somewhat reminiscent of the old versions of minecraft, the controls are not very conveniently made, and in my opinion the game does not correspond to the theme. And so if you refine it, you will get a cool fish simulator
This game gave me a stroke (In a good way) the controls were super grippy and I'm all for it. The art style is such a unique take. Really impressed although I'm not very good at it lol. My fingers are hurting. Good job!
Super fun, great style, and extremely tiring! I love the controls for it, takes me back to a time of playing games like QWOP. Only thing is once once my right hand started getting a bit tired I had switch to using both hands on the arrow keys at the same time, which made switching to turning the head a bit of a hassle. One of my favorites overall though!
I felt like a fish. this game was fun but annoying. you made the mechanics work very well and it looks like a lot of polish went into this game. really good job
I also felt a little confused about the controls. Initially I thought moving the head and tail in unison was the key, but then it seemed like the head controlled the direction you moved in so I was at a loss. Either way, the obtuse control scheme is very reminiscent of Bennet Foddy's work, so in that sense you made a great foddian game!
This game felt really weird and hard to control at first. However, once i got into this rhythm of alternating the tail I felt like a badass fish, until i hit the first waterfall. It took me awhile to get through it, but I found that spamming the head movement in addition to the tail really sped me up to get through it. Add on to that mechanic by having to jump out of the water too past the planks it started to feel like there was some level of depth to the game. I got really into it and really felt like a fish floundering around on my keyboard with how many buttons i was pressing lmao. I think maybe there could have been some type of lead in to teaching the mechanics, but not super necessary. I personally found it interesting to discover ways to move around in the game. Overall positive experience.
really interesting concept, was actually pretty fun to play, wiggling around lmao
I feel it is exhausting to play in the keybord. I love the art style. Overall, very good.
Originality points for this one! Struggled on the upriver part!
Very unique game with a cute style! Awesome job!
