i can't play this game , i can't destroy the enemy i don't know why ! and when i am fishing saying too slow why ? , ty :)

Couldn't play because I need a plug-in, but as a note you should probably make controls for the WASD layout as well!

bukaneerz 2014-04-29 08:50

I don't know why it's dont work for you )':

For fishing, you must click once on the planet. When it says "catch" you have to click many time with the left button of your mouse, to fully complete the "fishing" bar before end of the timer.

I hope it will help you (:

Wow... very nice art. I really enjoy the mood this game sets. Took me a while to figure out the fishing mechanic, but aside from that, well done!

lukepilgrim 2014-04-29 08:52

loved the graphics!

cdk 2014-04-29 08:53

is it unplayable on ubunut? couldn't get the plugin to work :/

i'll give it a try when i get home on my win7 computer.

Saw your stream and was quite excited stumpling over it here at random ^^

bukaneerz 2014-04-29 08:58

I don't know why it doesn't work for some persons )':

hihi thank you for your comments by the way (:

tweak 2014-04-29 09:13

This was very relaxing and enjoyable.
At first I didn't understand that I was supposed to click the fishing button again when it said "catch" but after figuring that out the experience was nice!

flrn 2014-04-29 09:50

couldn't get the player to work, sorry :/ the visuals on the landing page look awesome though!

infectionteam 2014-04-29 09:58

Damn, getting the message ShiVa3D Plugin has crashed. Please leave a comment on my page if you know how I can resolve this, would very much like to play. From the screenshots it looks awesome!

flavio 2014-04-29 10:12

Very beautiful work ! It is so lovely that you really want to explore the game. But I had a really hard time understanding the game mechanics. Also the purpose of the game is a little but unclear. Maybe you could improve the informations provided to the player ?

diptoman 2014-04-29 10:15

Took me a while to figure out the controls properly. It's a relaxing game. Except for too much right clicking. And wait, how did I kill that planet!? It wasn't my intention, I swear! ;-;

bukaneerz 2014-04-29 10:20

Mouhahahha, you kill planets when you fish all ressources!! Thank you for your support.
PS: flavio we gonna change this quickly as possible. Thanks

bukaneerz 2014-04-29 10:21

Thank you so much ! We try to resolve some issues,

xoxo

Cool, relaxing game. Cute graphics, well done audio. Awesome work!

kbm0 2014-04-29 15:50

Loved the characters, art and mood. Enjoyed the rest as well. Good job!

darkengineer 2014-04-29 16:10

Can't even play because doesn't work

2014-04-29 16:49

Awesome game, really fun to play !

Windows 8.1 prevents the execution of the game :/ so I played on your beautiful website!

Keep up the good work!

korwegian 2014-04-29 16:50

Very well done. :D

crazi456 2014-04-29 17:53

Awesome artwork! Very fun little game!

dookie 2014-04-29 18:45

I love the artwork and the sound/music. I also had trouble figuring out what the point was... I managed to fish planets, but I couldn't seem to buy anything. The whale planet thing is awesome :)

sumizome 2014-04-29 19:24

It was a bit confusing at first, but it seems like a really nice game. (although I randomly encountered a bug with the timer / fishing bars, the timer didn't move and it would just reset without giving me the reward)
I really liked the art...

biggianthead 2014-04-29 20:18

Nicely done. I really like the game you made.
It's fishing in space, what could you ask more.

bukaneerz 2014-04-29 21:44

Thank you all for your comments (:

We'll try to fix issues !

mrx 2014-04-30 08:33

I LOVE the art style you've gone for here - really appealing environment. It was a bit confusing to work out though, and the movement felt sticky at times. Really lovely on the whole though.

balint197 2014-04-30 19:38

It had a great mood, graphics and music, but the button smashing didn't really fit into the atmosphere. Great game though, well done! :)

sudorossy 2014-04-30 22:49

Such a cute space whale! I like it, although it's a bit slow paced

teamflare 2014-04-30 22:50

Incredible! Super awesome artstyle and presentation. The whole mood is fantastic.
Thank you so much for even styling the webpage and the manual :) Very polished entry.

mimic 2014-04-30 22:52

Great job on the visuals. Though I wish the fishing aspect was more than just clicking as fast as you can.

asotelo94 2014-05-01 01:29

Great graphics. Also nice to see a game made with shiva3d. You guys could have improve the combat a little bit more; really enjoyed the fishing part.

kirbytails7 2014-05-01 03:42

Never heard of the engine before, but this is pretty nice!

mithoskuu 2014-05-01 06:01

Thanks for a nice, relaxing game!

ryangatts 2014-05-01 06:14

I enjoyed the game and the whale was very cute :) I wish I understood more what was going on.

bukaneerz 2014-05-01 10:33

Thank you for all your comments guy! We know our weaknesses and the next game will be less confused.

raulincze 2014-05-01 20:18

Cute little game! I really loved the art style and got to fall in love with that adorable whale-home-planet. Good job :)

ilo 2014-05-02 06:32

The art is lovely, and I liked the fishing mechanic. Did the shooting do anything?

cdk 2014-05-02 14:49

It's right clicking not left clicking - quite important and this is what i did wrong.

nice mechanics, nice mood.. but.. i really didn't find the gameplay that enjoying.. and not being able to turn off the sound or atleast turn them down made me quite irritated :/ sorry.. i really want to enjoy the game but being forced to not listen to my own music wasn't that enjoyable.. :/

But really nice graphic, sounds, mood and soo on!

giordanno92 2014-05-03 09:33

My experience with this game was kind of interesting since I always find cool how can some people work 3D on a game jam. I think the game was very promising, but you had no time to make it complete. The overall idea seems nice, it looks extremely friendly (the home whale is awesome) and the graphics are really gorgeous (reminding me of amazing graphics from PS/N64 era), but the game ends up being repetitive after a while. I believe a little bit more polishing on the game design, a nice story telling and side quests will make this game really interesting to play. Nice work.

hadesfury 2014-05-03 11:05

Really original ! Great job

shivur 2014-05-03 18:25

Great game, great graphics, great idea etc...

mintarcade 2014-05-04 13:57

WOW! Fantastic game. Cool visuals, nice gameplay, interesting mechanics. Love it!

bukaneerz 2014-05-04 22:25

Thank youu sooo much for your comment !
Next LD, we'll try to avoid our mistakes !

christinaneofotistou 2014-05-06 00:37

*adorable* graphics, I'm in awe!

shadow64 2014-05-11 01:13

So this was great. I really enjoyed myself and I hope you guys continue to develop the game. Here are my notes:

1. I did find a bug where if I clicked too rapidly - cutting the fishing short - and then started it again and was successful, I would not get the reward and the "ta da!" sound just kept repeating.

2. Maybe other people found it different, but I'd prefer the left click be fishing and the right click be shooting. It's way harder to fish than to shoot and it should be the opposite since you use shooting so infrequently. That was probably by design, but the game is difficult enough without choosing the weaker click finger.

3. I'm not sure that I agree with this being "beneath the surface" since it's in space. I still think you did a great job and you are "fishing" so it makes some sense.

That's pretty much it. I otherwise really enjoyed the game and I think that there is a ton of potential here for a full release.

Thanks for sharing and thank you again for playing/rating my game! :D
