Very nice work! I loved the atmosphere and the art style. Would love to see another game in the next jam :)
Stay funky,

Cool game. The tumbnail got me to click it and I enjoyed it. Next time make the jumping better.

Developer

Nice, glad the thumbnail did its job! How would you suggest improving the jumps?

Submitted

idk. maybe it was heavy?

great game! I really liked your interpretation of the theme!

Wow great entry! The only thing I did not love was the feeling of the player attack. Idk it just felt a little weak. It would be cool if it was a little more animated or somehow felt more impactful. It definitely got the job done though and considering the time restrictions and solid the amount of content in the game I don't think it was a major issue. Had fun the entire time I was playing. As others mentioned great level design having areas that are accessible early on, but mess you up if you go there. Makes it so fun to come back later when you are stronger.

so glad you enjoyed the game! Due the the player having multiple sprites layered on top of it (the teeth, fins, etc), it made it so adding new animations was pretty time consuming. So we settled with a simple attack animation since it was easy. But it is definitely something we could juice up if we come back to this and have less of a time crunch!

Wow...! Beautiful visuals and music and a really unique and fun concept. This is incredible. There's a bit of a sound bug with the music/footsteps when you die, but great job!

sorry could not find anything wrong. Everything just fit together perfectly. Good length for a jam. Nice progress of the power ups. Clean graphics can make out wat everything is. Nice powerup surprise, I was thinking there were some blind jumps but falling and dying was a nice touch.

Really glad you enjoyed it as much as you did! Thanks for playing

WOW! This game is amazing! I think this has potential to become a full steam or even console game! If you plan to do that I would be honoured if I could help.

Its an actually great game, i love the graphics and music, there is a sound bug where if you die and you keep on moving you can still hear the footsteps, great game overall !

Developer

Yep I was kind of lazy and didnt destroy the player after death or disable it or something.. If we do a post jam version I can change it

Really liked the game, the idea and the execution. This was extremely well done for a 3 day jam. My only issue is that attacking was slightly buggy, and didn't always work, and the boss foght was a little slow. Still a very impressive game!

Developer

Thank you for playing the game. maybe you could tell me what issues you had with attacking ?

Submitted

It might have been my laptop or an intentional game design, but sometimes when I clicked further away from my player, it didn't attack. Also some of the enemies attacks didn't connect when it looked like they should have done. However, I want to stress this is nitpicking and  it was a great game overall.

Submitted

I'm just so impressed that you could do this for the duration of the jam. The game is so polished and the art style reminds me of an old game called heart of darkness. I love how the theme is being used here.

Great job!

Developer

Oh yes the creatures in that game look kinda similar. I have heard the name of the game before but I had to look it up. Looks interesting tho.
