Compiling on OS X gives:

Only managed 4800 alas. Fairly straightforward game, well presented. Pretty decent though!

Thanks Lucariatias, but all you need to do is run "make" to compile using the included Makefile. Also, it requires SFML 2, which you can download at www.sfml-dev.org.

Pretty decent game, very nostalgic of the MS-DOS days.

I dream of being big enough to eat the divers and turtles.

Good work. It's remind me the DOS era

was a nice little game, but I thought it needed something more. The graphics could have been better, and extra features could have been added! maybe a growing system, or multiple enemies and other ways to survive! was nice though

Solid game, nice sounds, good graphics. I kept forgetting the red fish were bad and that there wasn't a size growing element to this game, but that's my fault. Overall a fine game, really enjoy the music and sound. Why does it say 2013 on the title screen?

I was unable to compile your game despite installing SFML.

But if it's any consolation, I took your advice and made windows and linux binaries of my game as you suggested.

pvwradtke 2014-05-03 04:33

Hi MrBlade, are we already on 2014? Whoops, gotta change my base code to make it up to date. LOL :)

pvwradtke 2014-05-03 04:36

Thanks for the feedback cheesepencil. Which error did you got? Notice that some Linux distros offer SFML1.6 (Ubuntu 12.X and derivatives, for instance), which is dated. The game requires SFML 2.X, which you can download the binary áckages from sfml=dev.org. Was that the case?

Very Cool!

cheesepencil 2014-05-04 02:51

@pvwradtke Yes, I think so. I tried the dev package from my distro (mint) and that didn't work (it's probably old). i tried dumping the contents of the 2.x download from the SFML site into the game's source folder in a couple different locations and that didn't work either. I'm not inclined to install the lib without a package manager since removing stuff like that after I'm done with it has always been an inconvenient (if not painful) process.

I'll probably end up playing the binary in windows tomorrow as a matter of convenience - there are SO MANY GAMES TO RATE and it's just easier to play the binaries on win.

pvwradtke 2014-05-04 13:35

Hi cheesepencil, I know how it goes, thanks for trying anyway. The Windows binary works fine under Wine (actually, I cross compiled the Windows binary with Mingw32 on Arch). If Wine acts up with your video card driver, you may try running it with the -w switch, that forces a windowed mode.

Nice. Very simple but well done. Actually I would have liked to eat some of those red fishes. They looked delicious. Especially when running out of energy :D
Good job!

ccglp 2014-05-04 16:54

The music and the game atmosphere itself it's so relaxing, and makes this a good game overall ;)

callidus 2014-05-05 08:49

Nicely done, simple game but felt nice to play, good work.

jsmars 2014-05-05 09:05

Nice game overall :) Green fish have exact same movespeed which makes them a bit frustrating to chase.. and graphics could be a bit more polished but other than that nice job!

bernhard 2014-05-10 12:01

Was nice to see the red fish reacting to being lured into the bigger beings without reading the hints :-)
Also high-five for using a real programming language!
