Very nice!! Fantastic artwork!

guilhermesouza 2018-08-13 23:52

Thanks @isopoly !! really happy with your feedback!

jaydek 2018-08-14 00:19

I was a little confused about my aim in the boss battle. I assumed I was meant to attack it, but the lack of feedback on if my attacks were doing anything made it hard to gauge if I was understanding correctly.

Great mood/audio/art, though.

jchaplin 2018-08-14 00:20

Extremely well done game! Great job!

dizzy 2018-08-14 00:25

@jaydek hey! U just have to avoid the boss, he ll crush the iceberg behinde and take some damage :D, sorry, we forgot to put something about in the tutorial

guilhermesouza 2018-08-14 00:29

Thanks @jose-rodriguez!

mistersdevelopment 2018-08-14 01:28

Nice job with the art and the story! I wasn't sure how to get past the final boss but I enjoyed the game.

jimdarkwind 2018-08-14 01:35

Beautiful game with a lovely atmosphere! The English could use a little work, but great job guys!

guilhermesouza 2018-08-14 01:35

@mistersdevelopment we didn't have time to make a properly graphic effect, but you can defeat the boss only avoiding it!

ja-viera 2018-08-14 01:40

Nice entry, I wish the "in game" art was as nice looking as the "narrative" art. I couldn't figure out how to kill the sharks without letting them bite me at least once though. And the music was so sad! It felt like the game itself had a faster rythm than the music so it was a little weird.

guilhermesouza 2018-08-14 01:41

@jimdarkwind wow, sorry about our english :( we'll try to improve!! Thanks for your feedback!

rvenson 2018-08-14 01:50

What amazing plot! Congrats, team!

minibobbo 2018-08-14 01:59

This looks and sounds beautiful! The intro cutscenes were genuinely moving and the music really made it seem like I was traveling across the world like in a movie montage.

I also wasn't sure how to get past the final boss. I felt like I was hitting him but nothing was happening and then I would randomly be hit. It is a shame because I would have liked to see the end of the story!

dizzy 2018-08-14 02:06

@jimdarkwind @rvenson @minibobbo thanks for your feedback! @minibobbo try to avoid the boss! he will hit the head on the icerbegs behind, hope u ll finish the game now <3

dongle 2018-08-14 04:30

Very well done visually! I loved the story elements they were a nice touch.

beanslasher 2018-08-14 04:43

I thought the graphics were outstanding! I really liked the game, and wish there were some slight improvements with the fighting at the end with the boss. But overall, was a very nice, solid game! Great Job!

pierre-avinain 2018-08-14 08:47

Very beautiful graphics, music, and cool story ! \o/ A superb game !

croben 2018-08-14 10:20

One of the most beautiful entry.

stames 2018-08-14 12:12

wow that was very good. I am sad that there is just this one level. The music is awesome, the drawings are awesome, the conrolls are awesome. Nice game.

Just one thing. I found it quite difficult to differentiate between the shark attacking right ore up. And the water effects of the shark are infront of the bear.

realy great Game :-D

stamblew 2018-08-14 13:25

@stames @croben @pierre-avinain @dongle thanks for the feedback, we appreciate you all played our game, certainly we will consider all your suggestions and thoughts, thanks again, folks!

keldy 2018-08-14 13:37

Thanks @dongle! It was our goal make this a little bit emotional

keldy 2018-08-14 13:38

Thanks @beanslasher, we put all of our efforts to make a fun game for everyone.

keldy 2018-08-14 13:40

@thanks @pierre-avinain, that makes all of us really happy

keldy 2018-08-14 13:41

Thanks @croben! /:D

keldy 2018-08-14 13:43

@Thanks for the comments @stames!

gexalmighty 2018-08-14 14:27

It looks nice by jam standards. Game is a little bit easy but the core is good. Very cute.

Would have been nice to get a little more feedback from the sharks, it was hard to tell what side they were biting from and they just kind of disappear when you hit them. The feedback from hitting an iceberg was good though.

cheveasy 2018-08-14 14:37

The music, sounds, and artwork really set the tone well. The game play had the right amount of intensity as well. Simple and to the point. Good job!

reizoukin 2018-08-14 14:39

Was a bit confused about the boss battle, and the sharks' locations are a little difficult to figure out, but overall it's a nice little jam game!

drauthius 2018-08-14 14:39

I got very emotional from that intro and ending. ^^

marcel-egle 2018-08-14 14:42

A really nice and heart warming story, good job :D

r3nrohan 2018-08-14 14:43

Graphics was Great

mandarad 2018-08-14 14:58

Father bear and son reunited! :tada:

I really liked the intro comic.

Game play was simple and easy to pick up, so it was pretty easy to beat. I never really felt like I was running out of space, since my little ice platform lasted for quite a while. Maybe it could have decreased faster?

And like others have said, it was a bit tough to figure out where the sharks were biting from, so it came down to hitting each of the arrow keys to whack them sometimes :shark:

But overall it was a fun entry to play, I liked the transitions of the background from start to finish. It really made me feel like the bear traveled a long way to find his son.

cope 2018-08-14 15:22

Very nice artwork. The game is nice.

keldy 2018-08-14 15:33

Thanks for the feedback @gexalmighty!

keldy 2018-08-14 15:34

Thanks for the feebback @reizoukin !

keldy 2018-08-14 15:34

Glad you like our game @cheveasy!

keldy 2018-08-14 15:35

@drauthius that was our very intention with this game, glad you like it!

keldy 2018-08-14 15:38

Thanks @marcel-egle , glad you liked our game.

keldy 2018-08-14 15:39

Thank so much for your feedback @mandarad , and thanks for bring father and son togheter!

keldy 2018-08-14 15:39

Thanks @cope , really glad that you enjoyed our art

mike-inprinciple 2018-08-14 16:05

I really liked the artwork on the characters and the story board. The plot was simple, but effective in getting me emotionally invested in the character. I think the theme was missed completely, however, because the raft disappearing is just an aesthetic gimmick, as opposed to being an actual mechanic that has to do with space running out.

stamblew 2018-08-14 16:40

@mike-inprinciple thank you so much for your honest review. We strongly agree with you on the cons, we will certainly take this for our future jams, thanks a million!

siridakis 2018-08-14 16:45

The art and music are amazing! Loved the piano tune. Nice story to the game. I think the theme is there but not so much, know what I mean? Congratulations for you game! Obs.: Sempre legal ver mais brasileiros aqui :)

dizzy 2018-08-14 17:12

@siridakis Vlw cara! Realmente é sempre bom ver os brs hahaha

saering 2018-08-14 17:18

There's a huge lack of feedback, I never knew where I was aiming, and the grampus just killed me like that, I pressed 100 times my attacks but nothing happened. I think that's the bad point of the game, however, the audio is cool, I like the graphics and enjoyed seeing some famous buildings in the background :)

Cool game!

blinry 2018-08-14 17:26

Awww, the paintings and the writing were really heartwarming! The game mechanics themselves didn't keep me interested for that long, and we needed the hint about the boss to know what to do. My favorite part was "Was there a mechanic that was cut? You'll never know..." :P Good job, team!

keldy 2018-08-14 18:25

Thanks for your feedback @saering, it's really important for our improvement!

keldy 2018-08-14 18:26

Thanks a million @blinry! Glad you like the story :)

brooke 2018-08-14 19:21

The artwork and animation in this game is absolutely wonderful. I love all of the animations of the bear when he strikes with his paddle. It looks so good and he's just so freakin' cute!

I really enjoyed the cut scenes too. They pulled at my heart strings quite a bit :')

Also, I especially like the style/look of the artwork on the main menu and the final picture! I adore the vibrant colors and the pretty shading!

The game play itself was pretty fun but what really made the game memorable for me was the artwork. The gorgeous cut scene art has really inspired me to work on getting better with polishing/shading my art. So thank you for that <3

And thank you for making this game! I had a lot of fun with it :)

vekstr 2018-08-14 19:23

Touching and beautifully illustrated story! Was hoping the gameplay to be similarly atmospheric, but it was still an interesting experience.

rodrigo-ramirez 2018-08-14 19:24

I really like the music and the art, I think the boss music doesn`t match with the rest of the game and the player need more feedback. story was great just need to be deeper.

hope it help. :)

exofrenon 2018-08-14 19:28

Nice graphics and the choice of music is very fitting, it makes the game very atmospheric. The story is simple but effective. The only downside is that I don't see the 'Running out of space' theme and the gameplay is very simple, but at least it is very well implemented, no bugs and the general feel is quite good. It only needs a little more variety and content.

keldy 2018-08-14 22:25

Thanks so much @brooke, it's comments like your's that make we keep dreaming and making even better games in the future, thank so much!

keldy 2018-08-14 22:26

Thanks for the feedback @vekstr, we'll use all the feedback and make a better game next jam

keldy 2018-08-14 22:27

Absolutely @rodrigo-ramirez, every feedback help us to get better!

keldy 2018-08-14 22:28

@thanks for teh feedback @exofrenon, will help a lot :)

masterkrepta 2018-08-15 00:26

The music and the art are amazing. It fits the feeling you are going for perfectly.

thomas-lessa 2018-08-15 03:45

Nice to see other brazilians doing games here aswell! Togheter with the music, the story was amazing, really made a strong mood. I'm not so sure about this fitting into the theme so well, but overall is a great game! Congratz for everyone <3

dizzy 2018-08-15 04:05

@masterkrepta thanks!

ossi 2018-08-15 07:36

Wonderful graphics and really heartwarming story! I really loved the artwork and how it conveyed the emotions of the characters! The mechanics were nice and simple but effective although the attacking directions didn't seem to work right for me. Sometimes attack in a different direction still got rid of the sharks and other times it didn't. The music was also very lovely and added to the mood quite a bit! Great work!

alex-brull 2018-08-15 09:54

"This game is not about fun" x) The story was cool, i really liked the music. It was a bit short and too easy for my taste. You can try our game if you have time :)

2018-08-15 11:28

the artwork is amazing!

dark-prince-zen 2018-08-15 11:54

This was well made but I'm going to be a little bit knit picky. The music to me felt too slow for the pace of the game. I really loved the visuals but the visual feedback let it down a bit as it was hard to know when we could hit the sharks or even if the cool patches were working. I was also a bit confused as to how to beat the whale at the end. But in saying all that, I did enjoy the music, narrative and art style. Your team should be proud!

dizzy 2018-08-15 18:58

@thomas-lessa Obrigado cara, realmente é importante ver os brs por aqui \o/

@ossi, @alex-brull , @vablackbelt2005 , @dark-prince-zen Thanks for the feedback guys! we will definitely use all of them in our future games.

tj101010 2018-08-16 01:38

Loved the game! The animations were really cute.

m8rix 2018-08-17 07:42

You really nailed the mood in the cutscenes. Wish the gameplay had the same feeling. Still a superb entry! Great job

anstabo 2018-08-17 11:58

9 people making this, amazing ! Animations were cute, and well polished. It was very hard though, i barely made it.

dizzy 2018-08-17 15:28

@tj101010 @m8rix @anstabo. It's very cool to see that you all liked our game! Thanks for the feedback!!

raktou 2018-08-18 19:52

Great game, the daddy will fishing with his son again! haha

jerripo 2018-08-18 23:47

Whoa the ending scene was so beautiful! Felt so rewarding (unlike ours)! Short games like this are perfect for LD since it seems like the general attention span is around 1 level. The graphics were very pretty and the orca scene felt intense. Glad I remembered the boost thing. I liked that you guys had a narrative - it enriched the game a lot.

thedouche 2018-08-21 19:44

Nice game like it, great job!

philstrahl 2018-08-25 16:47

A very pleasant game with lots of production value. Here's me again, trying to recall the word for "ice floe" (and failing) ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-osF36Qsiuo

ursagames 2018-08-29 12:48

Gorgeous artwork! Really enjoyed this one! Thanks for sharing your game with my stream! Here's the link to the vod https://www.twitch.tv/videos/297569760?t=35m37s

ratherjolly 2018-08-31 04:03

Oh man. I really like your Art. The music also pair nicely to create some nice mood. Great job on the intro story. Brilliant!

2018-09-08 15:35

Very cute game. I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 42 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/F8Gtbi3loPc
