The ICBM Gambit is a chess opening in which White gambits a pawn. The opening moves begin with either the Réti Opening:
1. Nf3 /d5
2. e4
The first person to significantly research this opening was chess amateur Otto Mandrup Tennison (1834–1909). Tennison was born in Denmark, studied in Germany and moved to the United States in 1854. There he played in the chess clubs of New Orleans. Many strong players picked up the idea from the first half of the 20th century.
Obviously there are certain things that are a little rough, controls feel slightly unintuitive, art is scaled so it looks a little weird, could use more feedback so it doesn't feel so flat, BUT, critique must be tempered with compliments and you definitely deserve some. Afaik, this is the first jam you've done on your own and that's a great acomplishment! Creating a game on your own is no easy feat especially within such a short period so props to you. The idea itself also has plenty of potential to be expanded upon, I truly hope you keep working on this and end up with something much more polished and complex as I really, truly like the idea. That said, overall the game is a little rough around the edges but is definitely a fantastic attempt, very well done.
Very good idea, the inclusion of the different zones at different depths add a lot of, well, depth! I've always wanted to make something like this and this makes me want to start working on it. Good job! One thing to note is that the pixel sizes differ very much between the different sizes of fish, if you want pixel art to look consistent then you should not be scaling the sprite in engine, instead just make a bigger, more detailed sprite if you need it to be bigger. Other than that this is really good for a first individual game jam!
(Also try the game derrick and i made for 1 bit jam if you haven't :) )
