Looks amazing, fun to play!

Enjoyed this a lot. Nice graphics, funny. :)

I love the crepuscular rays!! Good work!

danman9914 2014-04-28 11:44

Simple concept but perfectly executed. Graphics are also great

Good job. The fish movement was the first one that ever actually "nailed it" when it comes to navigating a fish. Good job

Poor fish :D So much radioactive shit. Great entry!

tayl1r 2014-04-28 12:06

Really cool.
That is a lot of toxic waste! I lasted 100 seconds. :x

Lovely graphical style

Nice game, although one of the most depressing LD entries I've played... Art style is great, sound and mechanics - top notch!

The gameplay is too basic to me. Also how are you supposed to dodge barrels? They seem to do damage to you anyway. Either via direct hits, or via toxic waste. Also i dont know why, bu i like how the game look, despite not having much going on on screen :)

stenol 2014-04-28 12:11

Look very good. Fun to play :)

Our games share the same name. I like mine more but yours is nice too ;)

Nice job! Loved the 'sunbeams' and I liked that things got harder over time. Good use of sound as well.

mogwai 2014-04-28 19:12

Sweet game and it has godrays! :) Ramps up in difficulty pretty fast though.

kragnir 2014-04-28 19:49

Nice that the game gets harder with time. Would be nice with a visible timer for how long you have survived. Liked the use of poison. Audio was hard to hear most of the time. Controls were a bit unresponsive, this might have been a theme you were going for to match it with the fish but in that case you should make it more clear exactly why it is happening.

I like the 2.5D visuals: 2D graphics and 3D background. You should have added more stuff to it! Love it overall :)

pawegio 2014-04-28 20:39

Great artwork!

craigsmye 2014-04-28 21:37

Great game. Very polished and complete and fun. Nice work on the art too. My highest rating so far for this one.

adamwoolridge 2014-04-28 23:16

Love the art!

terraco 2014-04-28 23:27

I can only think of Donkey Kong Country while playing this. DK has ruined swordfish for me forever!

olkeencole 2014-04-29 05:02

Great job! Love the art. Simple but excellently implemented game play. The fishy movements really added to the atmosphere.

zanenga 2014-04-29 06:53

Damn son... u don't try to fish me! I rip that puny line of yours.

georgebroussard 2014-04-29 09:06

Loved this. Great movement and controls. Really felt snappy and fun to move around. Great art and sounds. Lotta fun.

mekuri 2014-04-29 20:57

Simple and straight to the point. I love the fact that you can get caught. I actually got caught after 10 seconds on my first try because I swam close to the surface :P - Managed to get a bit over 100 seconds. I liked the graphics, and the game was fun and the controls were just right. Good job.

hippolyta 2014-04-29 22:02

Very good game! It has an important message wrapped in a playful experience.

mrhill 2014-04-29 22:02

nice barrelphysics

snowflower 2014-04-29 22:06

I liked the graphics and sound. I would maybe show the survival timer ticking up while you are playing to reinforce it as a scoring mechanic to keep people going. It was fun to play.

I would try adding a right arrow key double tap to do a short thrust forward, it would make lining up with the fish and then right double tapping into them to lunge forward to 'spear' them a satisfying mechanic.

binary_girl 2014-04-29 22:06

nice simple concept ..works well.. and clean gfx :)

zccc 2014-04-29 22:11

Very well polished! Altough quite simple, it's really fun and kept me to a point where I couldn't find any more fish...

degtyarev 2014-05-02 18:52

love the ambience!

tehryanx 2014-05-03 17:58

mintarcade 2014-05-04 14:33

Nice gameplay, smooth controls, polished and cool. Very environment-friendly ;)

pinkmonkeyhead 2014-05-04 16:37

Graphics were really good

gfm 2014-05-14 01:49

The concept is really interesting. :)
