Still better than mine. I didn't submit one. I enjoyed climbing the hills. It was fun.

@Lucky89 There are objectives! Go down by the shore and you'll see :) I guess I should have made that a bit more more obvious, but I felt I made the fake wall a lot obvious and my grammar is really bad for some reason but yeah. Thanks for playing!

ludum1118 2018-04-23 23:47

FOV is just bad. Camera is too zoomed in and should be raised more towards the sky.

kippllo 2018-04-24 21:27

Nice game! I totally get what you mean about cutting out some content. In my game I had to do the same. I enjoyed exploring your map! Screenshot (365).png

sharks 2018-04-25 00:19

@ludum1118 I know! I wish I could, but you'll notice that with the top down cam it's buggy, b/c the third person character uses camera direction to orient itself which of course caues problems and I did not have time to fix them and the fov! Sorry!

sharks 2018-04-25 00:20

@kippllo AHHHH the cringe, Unity does not scale UI elements to bigger screens for some reason, which is why that panel is small and the buttons are too. They fill the entire screen on 720. Ahh well. I hope Unity fixes this soon!

sharks 2018-04-25 00:21

@Lucky89 Sorry about the small buttons, Unity has a UI scaling bug!

The concept is pretty cool, but I fell off the edge of the world the first time I played. A bit more hinting would be ideal. I like the music a lot.

maloy-quinn 2018-04-25 00:53

I like the idea of a game built around limits, but the graphics could be improved in the way they're used to compliment each other, and falling off the world is too easy. In addition, what you're supposed to do isn't clear.

miroky 2018-04-25 01:05

The game has a small mystical aura. I really liked the background music. The only thing that I did not like much, is the angle of the camera, since it has made me a little dizzy ... Otherwise, it is a complete game to be done in 12 hours :)

sharks 2018-04-25 11:49

@miroky Yeah, the camera angle wasn't great, it caused bugs if it was not in a certain position so to save time I had to have it in a bad position. :(

sharks 2018-04-25 11:50

@Maloy Quinn Yeah I did not have enough time to really make things look good together. I agree. I also wish I had done something else to make sure peopple know what to do...

sharks 2018-04-25 11:52

@MegRabbit How did you fall off the edge? Like going outside the map? I thought I made the hills tall enough for that. I also (mistakenly) thought that putting hills on that side would make you go to the shore! I also had a lot of the story that explains why its a beach and what you have to do that got cut do to time! Thanks for the compliment on music!

megrabbit 2018-04-25 15:36

I went too far out in the water because I thought I saw something in there, and also because of your name I thought maybe there'd be a shark. :P

sharks 2018-04-25 19:47

@MegRabbit Oh, lol! I was thinking of removing that thing in the water :p But I decided not too, cause I did'nt think it was noticeable!

dwemthy 2018-04-25 21:43

Also went out into the water in search of the mystery thing, fell off the world. At least I had arms to keep me company in the void!

sharks 2018-04-26 00:11

@dwemthy Oh! You discovered the arms! :p You were one objective away from winning! Keep looking!

samusoidal 2018-04-27 03:56

Well, for 12 hours, it's a good start. I thought the premise and the lines were funny. On the low-end PC setting the graphics loaded in a strange way that made it a little hard to look at. There also weren't that many objectives and I got to the end in a minute or two. I'd like to see what this would have looked like if it you had been able to put more time into it.

sharks 2018-04-27 19:42

@Samusoidal Thanks! I wanted the game to run on even REALLY bad computers, so I made the low setting **really** low! Also, yeah I know I wish I could have put more objectives in it!On your comment with the lines, did you think that was a bad thing or it was good? Thanks for your feedback!

samusoidal 2018-04-27 19:51

@sharks Definitely a good thing :smile: Humor is my favorite category!

sharks 2018-04-27 20:22

@Samusoidal I unblocked the humor category now :joy: !

elfcirynn 2018-04-28 17:15

It has graphics! And audio! And narrative flow! The pacing could have been a bit better (maybe I did a speed run?). But all in all, nice job for you LD entry! Looking forward to seeing what you get done next time!

sharks 2018-04-28 17:17

@Elfcirynn Thanks! Yes, you did do a speedrun :joy: I should have spread the objectives a bit. I was worried about people not being able to find them!

carvster 2018-04-28 17:47

I got out the starting area and found the end on the shore in about a minute? not entirely sure...

Regarding the UI scaling "bug", it really depends on what settings you give the Unity canvas you may need to set the scaling mode to grow or shrink to get it to work.

sharks 2018-04-29 11:16

@Carvster I did not have time to put a lot of objectives in, so that is why you got to the end in like 1 minute!

xoidberg 2018-04-29 12:37

Hm I got arms, went into the ocean and fell from the map. Camera angle is a bit off :)

sharks 2018-04-29 12:52

@xoidberg LOL I've been told it's too easy to fall off the map, and I also mentioned in the description * There is also a bug with the top down came, b/c the third person camera uses camera direction to orient itself and the top down cam is not always facing the right direction, please stick with the follow cam, sorry!* Which is why the camera is so bad! Keep looking! There is one more objective!

arron-fowler 2018-04-29 19:43

I feel your pain of not being able to fix the problems. My own had such potential and so much not done in time. I enjoyed this so far and hope you continue to work on it.

sharks 2018-04-29 23:02

@arron-fowler I will be doing a post-jam verison soon! Thanks a lot!
