Very cool! You have managed to make it feel like I'm controlling fish! For me, the sharks are a bit rough, but it adds to the challenge! Nice work!
I like it, very relaxing. I didn't understand if and how you win, but I enjoyed it. I played an hour without noticing the elapsed time. I understood the connection with the theme only by reading the comments: I like it.
:D I could not stop playing this game. I wanted to reach 100 fish but I could not. I was swearing at those fish that they did not what I wanted them to ;).
I really enjoyed it. Would love to see more of it.
The visuals are awesome, but I found this too hard for me. I really don't understand what should I do when the shark comes. If I go closer to the fish, they disperse, but the shark manages to get most of them anyway... 😟
I think my highest was around 50ish... just when I get to a `+ bonus`, the shark destroys half of them... 🤷♂️
Also not sure how it relates to the theme... 🤔
Is it a wordplay (I'm not a native english speaker, so I may be missing something here)?
All in all, a nice entry.
Thanks for the feedback. I did not have time to balance the difficulty level. I think it really needed to be made lower. As for the topic, now is May and this is the spawning season for most fish so that their offspring can grow over the summer.
Hi!
It's a good game and very relaxing........until the shark comes lol
I also suck at defending my fish, couldn't go over 50 :P
Overall, it's a good concept. It would be whole lot better with calming music
Hey,
I like the visual Style of the swarm and the shark. The shark is a little bit fast compared to the other fish. and it would be cool if you could make the shark "fall" down the water swirl.
I made a Video playing your Game :-)
The fish flock is really cool, I like how well implemented it is! However, I wasn't able to figure out how to minimize the amount of fish being eaten by the sharks. It seems that if they hit the outer layer they will sometimes eat just a few but with the shark turning speed it's really hard to manage consistently. Like Reamuji said, I wish the sharks would be affected by the vortexes.
This is the way:
uhh, is this even beatable ? xd
okay so lets start with what i like with the game.
Now let mention thing i hate
okay let's just talk about this big fish, i think it's the only reason this game not so enjoyable. they only go away after eat the fish and they need to eat a lot before go away, not to mention how fast they was. i tried to trick them to the vortex but it turned out they didn't affected by it. so i can't do anything beside to see my fish being eaten by them. if there are a way to get rid of him i think you should tell the player clearly, because i can't think any other way to do it except the vortex and it didn't work.
i don't think you even trying to stay inside the theme or xd
well anyway i really love the fish movement. remind me to a game called big reef. i think you should try to make a relaxing game.
Big fish moving to the center of mass of fishes, then go away. You can split your fish with the cursor. I also thought about a relaxing game, but the big fish is too irritating for that XD.
so when i writing the comment i think if that idea and i tried it. but the shark just cameback >:( i think you should limit how far the shark could turning instead
what does 6:00 means ? 6 hour or 6 minutes ?
6 hours, I did not fit in time for 4 jams in a row, and this time I decided to just upload it.
