Things I'd like to add for a later version:
- A better looking boat, that's the one thing I'm most disatisfied with.
- Weird creatures instead of fish, I made an animated octopus-thing, but didn't have the time to put it in the game :/
- More audio and music

Great concept and the artwork is top notch.

matthias_zarzecki 2014-04-28 07:32

Nice idea! The water-sounds really add to this

friken 2014-04-28 21:52

I like the mood. nice art too

Nice idea, graphically very pleasing. Sound could do with work, though what's there is decent.
Gameplay is a little shallow, needs more content, perhaps harder difficulty levels.

dookie 2014-04-28 22:03

Ha! "Shallow" I get it ;) Seriously, though, thanks for the feedback :) More levels, more creatures and sound is probably next on the list if I keep working on this. (After I draw a new boat)

Really interesting premise!

borrismoose 2014-04-28 22:56

Nice idea, it plays smoothly and has some suspense. Is there any scoring or progression in place?

dookie 2014-04-28 23:09

There's no scores and only the same fixed number of fish, moving in set paths. I'd rather have something more organic, spawning creatures and such, but that's for a later version.

nice game, it's very similar to the one i made for this jam. If your interested, my game is 'It came from below'.

tschery 2014-04-28 23:16

finally a game where you are not a violant inhabitant of the game world. I love your take on the theme!

slader16 2014-04-29 03:06

I really liked the concept of tagging the sharks!

bukaneerz 2014-04-29 10:34

Nice mood (:
I look forward to see more !

Very original idea, I liked the mechanics, but I found it a little difficult.

gameproducer 2014-04-29 19:12

This one is tough, but cool idea! Tagging makes a world difference in comparison... and trying not to disturb shark life is a cool idea. I feel this could be developed into so many different things. Excellent job!

jujule 2014-04-29 20:28

As others have said, really peaceful yet challenging. A great take on the theme. Congratulations.

degtyarev 2014-04-29 20:31

like that cool dark atmoshere. sounds are nice too

popogames 2014-04-29 20:43

Really nice use of the mechanics and the visual masking effect!

dustystylus 2014-04-29 21:30

Very nice concept here, quite tricky. As mentioned, it's nice to have a variety of non-destructive games in LD.

abajur 2014-04-29 22:49

In my opinion it needs more difficulty. But a nice entry!

ruerob 2014-04-29 22:52

Nice game. I would like some sort of highscore.

porglezomp 2014-04-29 23:03

Ha! This is really cool! I loved the sound, and the little blinking tags were great. This is a pretty fun game, and could really become awesome! (I might buy it with some more animals, some improved graphics, and a little bit more depth of play.)

munkeebacon 2014-04-30 22:00

Fun game, hard! Great graphics.

helloworldstudios 2014-04-30 22:06

Nice theme for the game. Only trouble is moving is a bit pointless. You can just stay still and tag all the fish. I think if the level was larger and if you had a limited amount of flares it could have some more game play. Apart from that good game.

badlydrawnrod 2014-05-01 20:13

This is a clever idea, implemented well. The sounds are simple but very effective.

td1801 2014-05-01 20:29

The arts and the mood are awesome. It's quite hard the first times but it's cool !

dominator_101 2014-05-01 20:58

Nice! Liked the art and sound!

aisenhein 2014-05-01 21:03

Very nice idea!
