Hey, I'm a hobbyist dev of about 4 years. Mostly looking to do these to meet cool people and slowly work on a portfolio of some kind lol. I know C# and Unity and am mostly interested in gameplay design and programming so hmu if you want to make a team
Hi! My name is Ross and I want to build a team for Fish Fest! I'm mainly a game designer and programmer using Unity and C#, but I also have a background in music production. I'm looking for musicians, artists, and other game designers to team up with. Please feel free to message me if you're interested in teaming up or looking into future jams together! You can check out my page if you're interested in my gamedev portfolio, or you can check out the work I've done on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxYsnFarmN6RzIbwA9TzbyA
This is a really cool arcade experience! I had a lot of fun with it. At first I read the rules wrong and I was trying to avoid stepping into the paint, which was honestly still really challenging and fun lol. I also love the small inclusion of difficulty settings. Also the deflection feature feels really satisfying.
that is a really good idea with the iframe dash! I didn't think of that. Or the bomb idea really. I thought about maybe some kinds of "power ups" that appear in the player's movement path, so maybe a bomb would work well for something like that. And thanks I appreciate the kind words!
There is a lot of charm to this little game. I love your art style, and the story you put into this tiny game jam game. I also love the background on the itch page for the game.
Cool animation and music too. Overall just great presentation :)
You did a great job with style using limited resources! The game looks nice and the title looks fantastic! But same with the other comments, as I had trouble figuring out redirecting.
I love the little arcade style and it was really easy to start playing. I think it would be fun if it were a little more challenging! Nice and simple concept though, it works!
I liked the cute art you made for the intro a lot! The game looks great. I think it would feel better if the birds weren't so fast or maybe if your collider was a little smaller. Sometimes I change colors and there feels like there's no time to switch back to control the chameleon.
Overall nice vibe and great job using the theme and limitation!
I really enjoyed how ambitious you were with implementing the different ground statuses. It gave me a lot to learn within a small game, and I overall enjoyed the experience. I also liked the cartoon presentation, it was very juicy!
My notes: I believe I had a bug where the potions would leave my hand but quickly disappear without hitting ground. I was also a bit confused on what the right click function did.
Thank you so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed!! Yeah I feel that this is the jam where my idea has actually come out so close to how I pictured. But thank you for your feedback!!
I think there were some accidental UI elements? I'm not sure, but there was a black box over the right side of the screen for me. and some text that was just called "text". Otherwise I thought it felt fun to play and was a cool concept
I think it looks really fantastic and plays great. The puzzles are interesting and you did a great job of tutorializing all the different gameplay mechanics. You did a lot of cool stuff with this short game jam!
This was such a cool mechanic, I enjoyed this! It reminds me of the game Getting Over It where you can easily lose a lot of progress, which feels frustrating but fair.
I do wish there wasn't a time limit, though, as the core mechanic does take a while to get the hang of. I also wish I had access to the later two levels to play without beating it. Maybe for game jams, it would be best to give players access to all of the levels, just so people don't feel that they need to master the game to see all you have to offer. But great job on a cool concept!
Cool game design, I like the different stages of gameplay. The addition I would make in the future is just some more signposting for how combat works. I was a bit lost at first but after the first play I got used to it
