Very cool variety to the powerups and I liked the pacing of everything very much. Love all the different fish types and hazards as well! Only wish there was a little music for the game too. The title theme song was great! Very good sound design as well. Felt very authentic to the NES
Hi. Thank you for your gr8 feedback. I was the one that made the Music/Sounds. Unfortunately because of my work which got very busy I had just one day to really work on the game, but the plan was indeed to have more music implemented.
Thanks! We will definitely finalize the game, because in the time allocated for JAM, the team members, as often happens, suddenly had a lot of things to do. The game was completed in time pressure.
"WOW" I beat all the levels, not without dying a lot in the process. Super cool to have a boss fight at the end, especially against this very cool looking and animated shark, funny that it is probably one of the easiest levels but that doesn't matter much.
This is another one which 100% feels like a NES game, which is why we're here, with just heavy and slow enough control for the game to still keep being super fun, and the exact visuals, sounds and music, gameplay loop which feels both familiar and unique and the kind of level and variation between levels you would find there. Infinite continue was the appropriate compromise in my opinion so that we get to see all the content during the jam while each level can be kept hard enough. There's one level where I died several times, I think it's the seventh one and judging by the screenshot I think it was indeed this one.
I greatly enjoyed my time with this game.
This was a fun one. Great work!
The game is quite entertaining, it feels a lot like a sea-themed Balloon Fight, good job.
This is probably the game that felt the most like a real NES game to me that I’ve played so far, it looks great! The movement also feels really nice.
Thank you. Unfortunately, we did not have time to do some things (the allocated 2 weeks turned out to be too short) and we plan to fix it later.
this game is very good! I like the powerups they add a lot.
