Fun game! I now see it was kind of like golf. I found it hard to orient myself without camera rotation, but it was still really fun to build up momentum and launch myself up the river system. 😄

This was fun! Around level 1 or 2 is a part where it's hard to see without the camera rotation, but the later levels fix that. I beat the game, and had a lot of fun jumping absurdly high around the map :)

Really nice game. I loved the graphics and the gameplay. Easy to learn - hard to master. The golf like winning screen is somewhat weird tbh.

Enjoyed it, The pond is really bigger than he looks.

Super cool! The graphics work extremely well, looks very polished. I like the fish keeping you from taking too long but I could've really used camera rotation at points. Nice sense of progression when hopping from pond to pond and it poses a pretty good challenge too

Very cool! A really interesting idea with really nice mechanics. I must be a complete scrub though because I really struggled to eat enough bugs to keep my energy up. Nice music and feel to the game, too.

Fantastic game, has a certain charm to it that makes me want to replay the game over and over, really hope you work in this further, I'm loving this, 10/10

I really like the mood and the graphics! It was hard to control and to avoid leaving the pond, but it was a nice experience to travel and jump through it. Great job!

A little laggy at time, but a very cool game. Love the art and the music. Mechanics were really fun too. Really nice job!

this is fun to click around on - just wish i could manipulate the camera to set the arc better. its a little hard to tell that you're being reset because of energy running out at first -- i might recommend changing the color of the energy bar when you're getting low.

I love the music and some weird fish ate me!

Really cute and quite fun. Wish you were able to rotate the camera. An arrow of where to go would've been nice as well. Eventually I wasn't sure which direction to go and couldn't find a checkpoint on either side. The graphics and audio are great, really sets the mood. I like how you can't wait for too long or else the monster attacks you. Well done!

What a cute and relaxing game 🙂 I only wish there was a camera rotation option, because aiming at the bugs, that you left behind is really frustrating.

adorable game with an adorable title. I found it a little non-obvious which direction to go, but i don't mind learning the course before trying to get a good run on it. Beautiful art and adorable character! Thank you for the fun game :D

Really like the game, it is fun and relaxing to play. The art style is cute and the sfx are well done as well. Congratz for your entry!

This game is so cute! It's really relaxing and fun to just skate around. The music and sfx are really great. The ambient sounds add a lot to the immersion. The graphics are fantastic. Really nice entry!

A quite cute game! The music is very relaxing. I think it would be better with the camera control~
