I like the concept of the game! Feels like there should be more divers to rescue though.

Not a lot of gameplay, but amazingly great visuals and an insane (literally, in one of the voices) amount of voiceover work! I also thing the UI is worth mentioning, it feels super slick. Great job!

Ran kind of funny on my computer, with graphical glitches
Looks GORGEOUS, but I found playing it a little big confusing. Objectives are not well defined so as a player, I was not sure what to do next.
Very nice. I liked the art style and the narrator is very good. And those shark puns... hu don't even get me started ;D. Very nice and very interesting. Good work.
Not much to do, but impressive development values!
really nice polish on this game.
Found it really funny :)
Very pretty game. I love the humor too. The gameplay is a little confusing, and it is short. Still, nice work!
This was quite cute haha. I really enjoyed the light humor despite the feeding.
Good concept
Really good looking engine and graphics. Could have used a few effects to make it feel better...having the camera lag behind slightly while changing direction likely would have made it feel amazing.
Came for the puns, stayed for the puns. Gameplay is a bit lacking but it looks and feels great
Short, but very interesting spin on the theme and nice gameplay.
Loved the puns. Great voiceover work!
Great game. Love the audio. Love the narrator!
Cool game with nice graphics.
Really liked the voice acting, I couldn't understand how to chew on the rope but I enjoyed swimming
I like the concept, but took a while to "chomp" the rope :D
Nice job, love it
THE PUNS, WHY??
Haha, fun little game.
This is fantastic! Voice work, graphics, gameplay, everything is super slick. The only issue is that there isn't more! Very well done.
Thank you everyone for your feedback! We are aware that the gameplay is quite lacking as we ran out of time and had to cut many ideas to meet the deadline. We plan to spend some time polishing Shark Swimulator in the coming days or weeks and hopefully have a more solid game/demo/thing. We're pretty happy with what we accomplished in 72 hours though, but we definitely want to keep working on this.
Your honest feedback is greatly appreciated and we look forward to hearing more in the coming weeks! <3
Nice take on the theme! Different languages gives the game a boost in replayability, the PHP CEO locale completely made my day x)
I can't play this, I downloaded it and when I tried to play it the screen said "Oh no its broken" and "We didnt get a depth buffer, bad things happen". Shame, if you know a fix let me know and I'll have have another go at playing.
Really fun game, great voicework and fish puns :D
First of all, that is a great name :D
With that out of the way, let me just say WOW. I remember your entry from the last LD, it was impressive to see a 3d game made with a 2d engine. This time it is just on a whole new level. The game is gorgeous, it plays extremely well and has great performance. The game felt very polished, everything from the menu and credits to the actual game. I am super excited to see what you guys will make in the future.
Finally, well done on the voiceover!
Well done, i respect the voice over work, i know from experience its a huge amount of work, i loved the visual, and it was very punny
@squarepug: Can you tell me your OS and GPU/driver version? You can reply here or DM me on Twitter @LandonManning.
@Windmill Games: Thanks! <3
Funny take on the theme and well executed :)
Concept is good, but not enough content to experience.
If there are some item in water for us to see, the depth comparison will be better.
Bug : Shark can go through the ground
Nice entry. Loved the puns!
Graphics are awesome, as well as the sound effects and the voice work!. It was too short though!
5 out of 5 Starfish.
P.S: Also loved the extra language.
"Well, at least you were delicious", haha.
Localized Ludum Dare Game. Holy cow that's cool. Feels like a solid package with title/options/credits.
Graphics are simple but very tasteful. I felt the underwater feel. The sun brightness when swimming up was nice.
I think the diver should be in view when starting the level. It took me a while to find him. I think he was right on top of me. I'd suggest a chomp button for the shark biting the rope maybe.
Well done!
fun entry. liked the voice overs, the jokes, the twist, and the difficulty. A bit too simple, but hey, it was nice. thanks.
Interesting take on the theme. The puns were great. I didn't quite get what to do at first, as I tend not to read directions the first play through to see how intuitive the controls and objective(s) are for any given game. I ended up eating the diver at least 10 times, before I figured out how to bite the rope. Controlling the movement of the shark felt very tight and easy. Nice work!
AHAHOH oh G0d that pun in the title i'm literally dying right now oh my god
The controls seem kinda wonky IMO, but I love the game :p
Cute voice, clean graphics, smooth swimming! Very nice! :)
Great entry with awesome presentation (graphics + audio + mood) and smooth gamefeel. Awesome overall work, dudes.
You are a shark and try to rescue trapped divers.
While the graphics and visuals are extremely polished and very pleasing to look at, the game lacks contents (I think there are only two missions in the game). Also props for the very good voice-over and translation in 9!! different languages, I have hardly seen games that have been translated into even one.
I saw you announcing the theme of your game on the IRC chan and I was laughing my ass off. Since then I really wanted to try your game. Now it's done and it is really funny. Controls are a big confusing at first but after getting used to it it's just great. Well polished, with good graphics and good music. Plus there are many languages supported. Awesome !
It looks great! I think a few more sounds triggered on interaction would have added to the effect. Good job!
Very nice concept and visual!
Thank you for your excellent leadership, CEO.
you've got good voice actor :)
Really nice looking game and adored the puns :D
fun game. very impressed with the localizations. this is actually a lot of work!
nice particles, ui, voice acting, and phpceo.
on the downside i think the gameplay was a bit weird and the game was very very short. also i dont know if i finished the game the correct way since it kind of bugged out at the end (there are a few seconds where you do not appear to be calling glclear or equivalent).
still, overall very nice.
Pretty cool concept and a nice interpenetration of the theme.
I like the voice acting, it bring life to the game, the graphics are nice, the concept too. This is a great entry! nice work!
So many translations :O (I love bonus language :D)
Funny game idea, I also like the compile logs in your credits.
I just had a small problem in the last stage. It says I should press A to beat the boat. But I doesn't work, because it means the A button on a gamepad. I played on a keyboard, but luckily I had a gamepad connected and finished the game :D
OadT: It would be enter/return on keyboard. :)
This game is very well made, especially when using Love3D. Very nice work!
Very impressive, good to see Love3D actually working with models, collision and all that jazz. Also, having translations available is incredible for an LD entry.
