Visual experience, but it seems to me that we cannot call this a game. Wrong?

murdersantateam 2014-12-09 09:59

it is a game, a simple one, and i like it :)

Yeah, it's definitely a game. I liked the music change at the big frilly creature in the preview shot. It did kill my poor little squid though :( Amazing work though, I kinda imagine this as the type of game that could do well on XBox Live Arcade with more to it. (and, quite naturally, co-op :P)

Simple but interesting game! Nice graphics ! Well done!

Crashes on startup for me :(

Very good visuals and ambient but the gameplay is really frustrating. The enemies are erratic and it's very difficult to shoot them.

Visually satisfying ;)

Loved it. Ten out of ten out of ten.

Everything moves so well! I just wish the bullets were a little faster and bigger. Hitting stuff is a pain in the ass sometimes.

Chill jams.

I really enjoyed the mood and ambiance ^^

alendro 2014-12-10 15:03

loved the art style

Calming simple beautiful game. You should add more animals and smooth rotating animations to multiply effect

antisc2 2014-12-10 15:41

It was amazing. I would call it a really simple game. But still a great game.

Shooting mechanics may need some working on but the graphics and audio were really well made and the game overall is pretty solid. Also this works quite well with the arcade stick plugged into my pc.

kaa 2014-12-10 16:55

Stop, I just understood that I can shoot! I am changing my mind and rerating the game))

Mike here- (Music guy!) I just wanted to personally thank everyone for playing, this really was a fun project, thanks so much!

chrismingay 2014-12-11 11:26

Absolutely love the music :) Reminds me of a cross between Bonobo, Quantic and TM Juke, which is no bad thing

drgeraud 2014-12-11 13:01

Really nice game !

ilokimo 2014-12-11 15:53

Crashes on my laptop, maybe some graphic card issue?

ethanwebster 2014-12-11 15:55

Very good visuals and music - the only thing I'd suggest is a health bar (or at least some way of tracking how much health you have left)

npexception 2014-12-11 16:16

The music was the best I heard in this LD so far! :)

tasteslikefuture 2014-12-11 16:31

Looks amazing! Any chance for a mac port?

gemberkoekje 2014-12-11 17:08

Really pretty, but the game didn't catch me as well as some others. Maybe you should try Cycle: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=36629 It takes the same game concept, but makes it so much more fun.

So yeah, if you can pair the graphics with a game that's a little more fun to play, you got a real winner ;)

farwyler 2014-12-11 23:06

Crashes right after I start it. Too bad :(

grabengroup 2014-12-12 12:33

nice mood

stephan_h 2014-12-12 13:25

Nice graphics, animations and effects.
Gameplay worked good, but some minor critique:
Delay between trigger and spawning the bullet was too long. Sometimes movement got not reset to 0.
The yellow bullets felt too big and inappropriate compared to the other graphics.

harley77 2014-12-12 13:44

Incredibly beautiful. Very nice job!

pulsartronic 2014-12-12 14:37

Man, that music is awesome. We love the way it slow down all your body and how it carry you on into a druged dimension. The gameplay is a little bit slow for us and maybe with an animation that helps to rotate 180ยบ in one movement would be better the game experience. Fantastic the multiples "enemies" and how each one interact diferent from another. Nice entry ;)

peeweek 2014-12-13 13:46

A really nice visual and music trip, really relaxing. Game rules are stripped to the simplest expression, but really nicely executed.

caryoscelus 2014-12-13 16:56

Great ambient game, but a bit too frustrating to be a great shooter. Still, stunning visuals.

Beautiful graphics, music, and interesting to play. Congratulations! :)

zkenshin 2014-12-14 18:27

Didn't feel the best having to hit the shoot button and then wait a second to shoot, but overall nice entry. Well done. :)

gins 2014-12-16 21:18

Very cool graphics, and the music adds to the under-the-sea mood. The controls are a bit awkward and I'd wish for better audio-visual feedback when I hit enemies, but for the short amount of time, well done. There's potential in expanding this!

taro 2014-12-16 23:45

The production value is spectacular. But the game feel isn't quite there yet. I'd like to aim very quickly, I can't tell how much health I have, and it's difficult to tell if I hit the enemy or not. The trap feels ineffective as well.

alpha_rat 2014-12-22 23:44

looks beautiful and relawing but the shooting part is frustrating
