Good job on nailing the theme! The atmosphere is well done!

kashaar 2014-04-29 02:25

Thanks :)

In other news, we just discovered a gamebreaking bug - fish don't spawn at all. D'oh! >_<
But since I have had only 12h of sleep since Friday morning, I'm going to maybe take a look at that tomorrow or the day after if my colleagues don't get to it before then :)

Wtf did I just play.






It was fun! 5 stars innovation.

Thank you! It was a ton of fun to make!

Couldn't run, missing msvcr120.dll

Ah, Petra tells me that you need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ packages: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

That should fix it! I'll add a comment to that effect to the description.

Had to play this one just for the punny title... you should note that it's the x86 redistributable people need, not the x64 one. Fun! I lasted a bit over 2min.

This crab is all out of gum.

Fun game, and nice shading. I'm curious though: once you're all geared up, is there anything that can even hope to get through a constant barrage?

Well, seems I played the first Unreal Engine 4 Game of my life. So, it is of course the best Unreal Engine 4 game I have ever played. :)
Nice and smooth presentation, apart from the title font. Perfect sound and ambience.
Feels very polished.

We also did an underwater game.

Shows how much those can differ. ;)

So far I've seen box sim, worm sim and more or less (also now) a crab sim.

Innovative and fun!

Awesome! I really liked this, sweet title and atmosphere, graphics were top! Good job :) !

jacques_le_lezard 2014-04-29 22:09

Can't play, even the menu doesn't load well =(

cmaster 2014-04-29 22:21

Foolish mortal fish! You are no match for (minature) giant enemy crab!

2014-04-29 22:25

Jacques, what are your system specs? Obviously we did zero optimization given the time constraints, but I was still surprised that it would barely play on my Bootcamped Retina at work today. I'm going to see what I can about possibly improving some performance for less powerful machines.

Crazy game!

You can bundle msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll with the game yourselves, don't you know? Just search your computer for it! I had this problem with my LD game too. :)

kashaar 2014-04-29 23:40

Didn't know that, Gwinnell - this is pretty much our first game release ever ;) Good to know, thanks!

Looks like it works only with the x86 version of the C++ packages. x64 does not work

zerkruemler 2014-04-30 08:04

Fun at the beginning, but getting too easy after a while.
Fantastic graphics and effects.

I can't play. The menu constantly pauses for about 3 seconds then shows one updated frame.

greatbigjerk 2014-05-03 15:42

Installed the Visual C++ redistributables and still can't play..

lajos 2014-05-05 01:43

can't run game, missing msvcr120.dll

kashaar 2014-05-05 16:14

lajos, GreatBigJerk, make sure you download the x86 version of the Visual C++ redist packages linked in the description, not the x64 version!

teamflare 2014-05-11 11:28

couldn't launch the game because msvcr120.dll was missing

elstevo 2014-05-16 22:33

Wow, most beautiful game I played! It runs so smooth, transitions are amazing, nice job with that. Great mood!
