Well, I won't be able to sleep at night (from laughter, not because I didn't save some fish), but I agree that this game was made with love... and clay

duck-reaction 2020-04-20 14:17

Hey @motley Thanks for your feedback, we're glad that you laughed playing the game!

anton-surkov 2020-04-20 16:41

Looks really fun))

tanapat 2020-04-20 16:43

This... was legendary. The art with the noises just go well and I had a great laugh. Gj

stevehb 2020-04-20 16:43

Haha! The art is great. Game play is pretty straightforward, but created with imagination.

ege686 2020-04-20 16:44

OMG Simon turned into a fish.

By the way game is very gooood.

duck-reaction 2020-04-20 16:52

Thanks so much for your comments, so happy you enjoyed the game! :)

blackgoku36 2020-04-20 17:12

Nice game, love the art style!

duck-reaction 2020-04-20 20:08

@blackgoku36 Thanks!

thomas-bringer 2020-04-20 22:09

Nice game! Liked the variety of possible actions. Graphics look nice. Liked the humour ("Fish died and it's all your fault, hope you sleep well"). Overall a fun simon says game to spend a few minutes on, good job! :)

noirdrive 2020-04-21 01:44

Beautiful art! Gameplay is really annoying but in a good manner, enjoyed the game :)

nurk 2020-04-21 02:01

Really fun game ! Well done ! :D

head-tilt-games 2020-04-21 02:18

This game had me smiling the entire time. I simply love it. Everything goes so well together, the art, the sound, the bossy fish. Thoroughly enjoyed playing it.

sid-fish-games 2020-04-21 04:26

Had a good laugh with this one.

ryan123rudder 2020-04-21 04:59

God its perfect

dreamcastgh0st 2020-04-21 05:37

Very good! Reminds me of early Russell Honor games with the very intense nature of it, and that's high praise. The concept is simple, and just a game of Simon Says, but it's executed in a funny and compelling way. The sound effects and extreme animations really make every action you do (except for pressing a key, but that's a small nitpick) feel like a BIG action, which just makes this fun to play with. The stunted, third person presentation, the fact that you made me press quit... it leads to a memorable experience. It might be a repackaged version of a classic game without much changed, but the fact that I played it as long as I did despite that fact is a testament to the quality of the work. Nice job.

brylamare 2020-04-21 05:52

Fun game, Really awesome art style, good job.

saucygames 2020-04-21 06:54

made me mad but i liked it

peachtreeoath 2020-04-21 07:01

I really like memory games, the first game I ever coded was Simon back in Java lol. This game is super hard though because there's much more variety in here and a bit less memory queues you can use. Your game has great art direction and I'm surprised this is your first LD game given this level of polish. Great job!

drachmor 2020-04-21 08:11

Haha this one was very unique to say the least. Interesting visuals and (screeching) audio, gameplay equally bizarre and memorable. I'll admit obeying fish commands is a first as far as theme interpretation goes - as far as I know - so definite points for that. Quite a humorous and well-executed take on the memory game genre!

duck-reaction 2020-04-21 08:13

@thomas-bringer @nurk @ryan123rudder @head-tilt-games @sid-fish-games @brylamare Thank you so much for all positive feedback!! Your comments make us smile :) @noirdrive @saucygames Yes you're right, gameplay can make you mad in a way but we're so happy that you enjoyed it! @dreamcastgh0st Wow! Thank you for your comment and your analysis! When we released the game we didn't think people enjoy the game like this! But you're right, need some game feel on "key pressing". So happy that you have fun playing it, that's basically why we want to create games :) @peachtreeoath Yes the game is very hard definitely! That's right it's our first LD but we really want to make something juicy, we're glad that you feel it playing the game! Thanks :)

arzi 2020-04-21 08:55

Why am I listening to a fish? :laughing:

Love the idea and the art! Great work!

naamed 2020-04-21 09:09

This has been the most enjoyable fish fondling experience I've had in my life

stanleygray 2020-04-21 10:27

While brainstorming for the theme, one of my first ideas was "Fish out of water" but I had no clue how to turn it into a game. Seems you figured it out! :) And I liked playing it! Funny game with great artistic design!

BTW, had one minor issue (Windows version) - the input sometimes didn't register if I clicked too fast.

mrowka 2020-04-21 10:35

Graphics and sound are really cool, but I had a hard time understanding which text to follow to survive Maybe I'm just dumb, great work!

littlemiky 2020-04-21 11:23

Very nice job Guys ! Good idea, visual an sound effects are very brilliant, well done !

duck-reaction 2020-04-21 11:26

@arzi Haha I don't know, maybe because it's going to die! Thanks for playing by the way :smile: Thank you @naamed, really happy that you enjoy this experience haha @stanleygray It's just one solution turn it into a game, there are more solutions for sure! Thank you for your feedback, we'll check this to correct that issue :) @mrowka Thanks! No problem, you're not the only one who has some trouble to understand the game, we don't gave enough clues to understand quickly! Not your fault :) @littlemiky Thank you so much !

harry-alissavakis 2020-04-21 11:32

Such a fun idea and amazing work with the modeling and sound! Well done! :D

duck-reaction 2020-04-21 11:45

@harry-alissavakis Thanks ! Happy that you enjoy our work.

alexvoxel 2020-04-21 12:06

I'm not 100% sure what you had to do other than click, but i sure laughed a lot. Great job!

herniewise 2020-04-21 12:48

Fish says 5 stars!

bonyok77 2020-04-21 12:51

Haha you're very creative. This game is pretty fun to play.

midnightorion 2020-04-21 12:58

Really fun game, I 'm not good enough to go far in rounds. And the sounds, dear god the sounds. It'll haunt my nights

cancerous 2020-04-21 14:07

Pretty cool game, simon says but with fish. Fish didnt say so i failed.

torn 2020-04-21 14:26

I'm a bit slow for these kinds of games, but I can appreciate the funny visuals and sounds. Gameplay's simple, but works.

kirsty-lee 2020-04-21 14:30

Really enjoyed the quirky and silliness! Love the art style!

jimmothysanchez 2020-04-21 14:45

This is a great little game. Good work!

adsilcott 2020-04-21 14:50

Just love this style!

arinyl 2020-04-21 15:11

Best. Game. Ever. This was super fun ahah!

anoushcat 2020-04-21 15:13

Super jeu! Les graphismes sont excellents, et les sons et le gameplay sont tellement drôles! :D

duck-reaction 2020-04-21 15:53

Thanks everyone for playing and all your good comments! :)

fran-gambero 2020-04-21 16:23

Poor fish... but I enjoyed the game, the sound really helped get in the dynamic.

overmolo 2020-04-21 16:34

It looks really well: art, colors, the fish, THE SOUND EFFECTS! I think it could be a commercial game form smartphones ;-) Nive work!

jogodfrey 2020-04-21 16:35

Whacky, I feel weird having enjoyed this game. I like it - awesome jam idea, perfect sounds and mad graphics good work, poor fish :D

d1str4kt0r 2020-04-21 17:07

Hahahahaha i could spend days on this.. But it gets very hard after some action, for my poor stoner mind LOL, i can only do 6 or 7

fenderbate 2020-04-21 17:09

For some reason, I enjoyed this game so much, I don't even know how to put it into words. Simple, funny, challanging and entertaining. Very nice work!

duck-reaction 2020-04-21 19:05

Thank you guys ! We're happy to read ALL your feedbacks :smile:

radow 2020-04-21 19:19

It took me far to long to figure out what I needed to do, but it was absolutely hillarious =D

primalshadow 2020-04-21 19:23

very entertaining!

ttyana 2020-04-21 19:30

Hoping that fish do not visit me in nightmares. I am failed miserably at steps 4-5 aaaall the times.

ioan-pop 2020-04-21 19:32

This game was pretty fun, I like how the fish just dies if you don't listen to it...

tripl3m 2020-04-21 19:47

Nice, simple, efficient, and fun. Love the color palette, and the sound design.

trifectuh 2020-04-21 20:14

Hilarious. Great job guys. Feel so bad for fish :(

pke1029 2020-04-21 20:17

Extreamly well made, curious how you made the animation.

duck-reaction 2020-04-21 20:42

Woow Thanks! We were not ready for all these good comments! @ttyana Yes that would be terrible for you haha @pke1029 The animation was the tricky part and we spent lot of time to have something juicy! It's a mix between ragdoll (character joints in unity) with tiny physics explosions and blend shapes to have some mesh deformations. The challenge was to have a good result blending 3D skeleton, mesh deformations and physics but finally... It works :smiley:

jlv 2020-04-21 21:23

Really funny game ! The design of the Fish, the hilarious audio, the satsifying interactions... It might be presumptuous, but I think you had a tremendous amount of fun making this game ! And I had an awesome time playing it, so all's good.

Strengths : - Self-explanatory gameplay, consistent with the theme and with a great game feel - Visuals and audio superbly contribute to the fun

Possible improvements : - Maybe allow the player to restart with a level of similar difficulty instead of sending him back to lvl 1.

All in all, great job !

steve-sparkes 2020-04-21 21:35

Such an artistically impressive game! The sound design really ramped up the absurdity of it all. I enjoyed this a lot, but the screen space could have been put to use by having the fish be bigger. I ended up a few of my longer runs by misclicking what I thought SHOULD have been the body but ended up being the head. :(

A really solid entry, and I can't wait to see what you make next!

@jlv Simon Says is a sequence game, so you can't start at the end ;)

jlv 2020-04-21 21:40

@steve-sparkes Woops my bad, didn't have the reference :sweat_smile: Sorry for the uneducated suggestion.

hare-software 2020-04-21 22:08

Great animations, very solid execution of an old-time classic!

lucianapdp 2020-04-21 22:20

Awesome game! Very funny!

nutriz 2020-04-21 22:31

Yeah french game dev here :). Nice 3D fish and sounds :)

pmarincak 2020-04-22 01:32

Nice game! The SFX coupled with... just clicking a fish to keep it alive really made me chuckle!

lucecyl 2020-04-22 01:48

Really fun game! loved the idea and the aesthetics! Nice job :)

crelish 2020-04-22 03:22

amazing graphics. love the fishes expressions when interacted with.

zzox 2020-04-22 04:33

Hilarious and addicting. His face when you hold his head and it just goes silent hahaha!

stell 2020-04-22 04:50

The game is fun, the art is amazing, the concept is nice and I LOVE THIS FISH SO MUCH. Good job! Everything looks FUNtastic!

justin-c 2020-04-22 05:20

Everything about this game was satisfying to play. Hilarious.

duck-reaction 2020-04-22 06:17

@jlv you're right we had a lot of fun making this game. Thank your for your feedbacks, we're thinking how to improve the game to make a post jam version.

Thank you all of you, we have spend a long time to make nice graphics coupled with sound, so we're very happy to know that you love it.

nek 2020-04-22 06:49

I don't think i will be able to sleep at night, fish dead, FISH DEAD!

flamus 2020-04-22 08:29

This game is so funny! Congrats! amazing entry

lapisraider 2020-04-22 09:18

Love the animations when I'm clicking the fish, its hilarious! The visuals for the game is really nice and the sound effects fit really well. Had a lot of fun playing the game even though the fish keeps dying cause of my poor memory XD

lemonshrimp 2020-04-22 09:36

This is such a unique idea, I love it! :two_hearts: The ingame graphics look really nice and I like that you added some chromatic aberration around the borders! The design and typography on the slides look super professional to me, it balances everything out nicely. Also, I ADORE the sound effects! Great job :star:

nikchernyakov 2020-04-22 10:48

Fantastic graphics and funny game! I like how the fish shrinks. Well done!

mika-la-grand 2020-04-22 11:29

That was funny. I like how you randomise the actions. I got to round 4, but it closed the instructions before I had time to read all of it. Some instruction were also a bit unclear, like "fish says hold" hold what? Also, sometimes "fish says click", but then it only works if I click on the fish. Overall, pretty good game.

emperor-eagle 2020-04-22 11:38

This game has brilliant graphics! Fun to play and innovative! The visuals when you lose are funny and the sound is funny too. I enjoyed playing it, nice game for a jam, well done!

thekingbarry 2020-04-22 11:40

Awesome game (with a bit of unclarity on some instructions, I agree with the previous comment), but defenetely fun... and the art is gorgeous ! Nice !

duck-reaction 2020-04-22 11:56

@mika-la-grand, @thekingbarry thank you for your constructive feedback. We hesitated during a long time to make instructions more clear, but we have chosen to encourage players to click on fish, making the action very juicy. And so, players discover the right action by their-self. But still, the game deserves lot of improvements to make it more clear. That's why we want to spend more time on the game development.

Thank you everyone, you're making this community awesome !

azo 2020-04-22 12:45

Really enjoyed this one, great art, sounds and satisfying animations. Great Job!

unept 2020-04-22 13:40

This was so good. While some are saying the confusing instructions and speed were too much, I think that's what gives the game such originality. Players gotta step up to the challenge. I also loved the game over feedback, that helped players want to try again. Loved it.​

demontoon 2020-04-22 13:45

So much fun ! I love it. This is simple and well executed. GREAT job guys :)

pieter-uys-fourie 2020-04-22 14:33

Fun little Simon Says game. well done

devparty 2020-04-22 14:37

This is a really good game. Simon says was, like, my whole childhood. :D

fishmasterino 2020-04-22 15:18

I had a good laugh over such a simple concept. Sound design served this game very well

wischi 2020-04-22 15:47

Clicking the "shutdown" button causes an error (with javascript alert popup) for me. But other than that the game was really fun to play.

a333 2020-04-22 16:06

Annotation 2020-04-22 190349.png

Fish Says uncaught exception: abort(168)!

Fish saved!

didn't really bother me though. I had great fun playing =)

duck-reaction 2020-04-22 16:20

@wischi @a333 thank you for reporting the issue. We'll try to figure out.

kerokero 2020-04-22 16:22

I advise my team as well to work around a fish concept, gland to see someone make it real, very fun game!

deathbysnail 2020-04-22 17:12

Nightmare inducing.

griet 2020-04-22 17:24

i loved the graphics! but the instructions were sometimes really unclear for me. for instance sometimes it said to "click and hold", what i did and the fish died saying that i did the hold, but not the click. but it looks so fun i might give it a try again.

indie-dragon 2020-04-22 17:41

I loved that fish lol, great game, maybe he missed a little in the theme.

necromic 2020-04-22 17:42

REALLY FUNNY GAME. I mean I laugh so hard at this. Really cool concept, aesthetic and sound design. The rhythm is su-perb :sparkles:

Good job!

noamraz 2020-04-22 17:45

WOW! That Really Really Good! 1 Problem: You Have A null object reference in Your Quit Button

heyllopotato 2020-04-22 18:01

Hillarious game! Really well done I really like it. The music and sound effects are good and I liked the graphics overall really well!

readyplayertom 2020-04-22 18:38

I liked the game a lot! Super idea und nice graphics and sounds! :D

Love it!

omicron 2020-04-22 18:41

The best game on this Ludum Dare.

ribout-horace 2020-04-22 18:51

It was horrible and feeling bad and... and... and I love it ! Ok, seriously, the visual is really good looking and the "animation" is really fun ! The overall idea fit really well with the execution (it's easy to understand but hard to master, but fun to fail !) I really like it

duck-reaction 2020-04-22 19:02

@griet Thanks for feedback, it's helpful for us to know what we have to improve in priority! Sorry for this problems, the game is not clear at some points and we'll solve it soon. @noamraz Thanks for reporting we'll figure it out! Really, thank you for all these positive vibes everyone, that encourages us to improve "Save the Fish" and work on new games :smiley:

evert 2020-04-22 19:20

It took a while for me to notice the bulging eyes on Fish, but I instantly burst out laughing when I did! :rofl: The sound effects are great overall, but I would have liked more fish-like sound effect for the 'game over' sound instead of a screaming.. uhm.. something? :D I guess it could be deliberate too, but the list of previous actions could be shortened by just showing the actions w/o Fish says at some point? It'll be hard enough at that point keeping track of it :p All in all a very fun game to play (and to compete with someone on how far they can get)! Great mood, great game!

docgeraud 2020-04-22 19:25

Simple concept, brilliant execution!

claybro2021 2020-04-22 19:43

Haha, this was super goofy. Everything was really clean, intuitive, and funny. Nice job!

valisse21 2020-04-22 20:42

Omg, that was hilarious :D I died laughing! But it took me a while to notice that the instructions are written on top as well. Looks like the fish is smarter than me hahah

duck-reaction 2020-04-22 21:35

@evert Really happy that the fish and sounds effects make you laugh like this! But yes, you're right, we can add some variations on the "game over" sound, that would be less repetitive. It could be but in the rules, if there isn't the "fish says" before action, you must not do it, because... The fish didn't ask you, right? :smile: @valisse21 don't worry, not your fault, we have to make this game more clear to be sure that people notice all essential informations like this. If you enjoyed the game, that's the essential! Anyway thanks everyone for playing and feedback :)

sergio-gonzalez 2020-04-22 23:08

Hilarious game! It's one of those cases where a great execution brings an idea to the next level :D

levi 2020-04-23 01:03

Loved the look and feel of the game. So far the only game that I have stumbled across that has to do with squidging a fish to try and save it! Great job!

cronobreak 2020-04-23 03:19

Super nice art direction!

joh 2020-04-23 04:31

This Is great, I had no idea what I was getting into, but what is was was amazing. Simple simon say, yet so full of life and personality! loved the fish, it failed to make me feel bad but it did make me laugh! I learned I'm surprisingly bad at following instructions or remembering them. Though I think I faced a bug because one time when I got in the groove I failed by pressing what (I think) was the right button. but the fish said I was supposed to do nothing! (which makes no sense because it wasn't the lastest round and I clearly never had to do "nothing" before; thats a memorable act in itself)

Still, game was so fun and silly I couldn't tell, if it was my bad, the game bugging or the fish trolling. Great game loved it!

picross 2020-04-23 05:57

Pretty fun game! I like how you break the fourth wall with the exit/mute/etc. Cute art too. I wish there was a little more to it than simon says. Great work!

duck-reaction 2020-04-23 06:31

Happy to know that the game make you laugh !

@joh Maybe there is a bug that we don't know, no code is perfect, specially game jam code :smile:

simansimon 2020-04-23 07:21

Weirdly fun and funny game :D I enjoyed playing it. Sometimes my clicks didn't register correctly, but it's really not too bad. The sounds and graphics are on point. But I wonder why that fish wants me to do such things to him :D Well done, great game!

bobost2 2020-04-23 07:45

Why it is so satisfying to click on the fish? :D

sndr 2020-04-23 08:23

Such a silly take on the theme, but I have to love it. It's great that you guys play with the UI of the game too, and get it included. It's always fun to surprise the audience, and you guys definitely did. :joy:

mathieu-semin 2020-04-23 10:22

The art and polish are really good Very fun game, well done !

tom-robson 2020-04-23 10:31

The funniest jam game I've played so far! Took a few attempts to get the hang of it, and especially in the later rounds it became insanely hard to read and memorize the sequence, but that's all part of the fun!

jamesolivermusic 2020-04-23 11:01

very polished artwork and good fun. The animations and sounds are funny too. great job!

oxters 2020-04-23 11:35

This is probably the funniest and hardest game in ld46. I had a lot of fun playing, but it does get hard really quick. Maybe it would be good to have three lives per round so if you make a mistake you don't die instantly.

yeti-kid 2020-04-23 11:50

This is done so well!! from art to music to gameplay. Super polished and one of the best I have played in this Ludum Dare!!!

duck-reaction 2020-04-23 12:14

@bobost2 maybe because the fish has a weird face :smiley: !

@sndr glad you like play with the UI, we think about adding more interesting actions.

Thank you everyone to say that's polished game. Keep sharing your feelings, all yours feedback matters.

daria-toni 2020-04-23 14:45

This game really challenges and quickly ceases to be just funny! Great idea. Cool sounds for every single action and a very crazy fish ofcourse!

helenejeanbon 2020-04-23 14:51

this face ! the fish is hilarious and I feel bad everytime I click ^^

qfrct 2020-04-23 16:42

I'm sorry, I think I killed 8 fishes befeore to understand that it was a list ^^.

Sorry for all these deaths because of my dumbness, sob.

But what about "Fish says Quit"?! (What I did, but error in the browser (Brave))

Thanks for the fun, guys. : )

kkrac 2020-04-23 17:42

LOL nice little game. I guess you could ship it for mobile with some little changes. Keep it up.

saadsirius 2020-04-23 17:51

Wow! very interesting take on simon says,very well put together i can see your efforts with the level of polish in the game,good job guys

xarona 2020-04-23 18:45

what a weird fun game, well done!

recursor 2020-04-23 19:30

I wasn't real clear on what to do at first in order to get past the first round, but I eventually figured it out. My one point of feedback is that the fish should be called "Simon" lol. Nice game

coatline 2020-04-23 19:30

This is a weirdly satisfying game with great audio and art. Maybe add another mechanic to keep the player interested. You should have titled this one Fish Slapper.

gustavo-christino 2020-04-23 20:34

Calma, peixe. Vamos tentar novamente...

Calm down, fish. Let's try again...

Fish-1.png

rebecca-harrison 2020-04-23 20:50

So wonderfully tactile and creative! Awesome premise and the execution is top notch :D

gustavo-christino 2020-04-23 20:54

Avaliação...

1 - Mecânicas, Aprendizado e Fluxo: A mecânica de seguir a sequência do estágio anterior, mas adicionando uma nova camada. Aprender não me foi muito trabalhoso, porque a cada tentativa temos retorno visual do que tentamos fazer, além de um texto explicando (creio que em alguns momentos com erros) no que erramos. O fluxo escala bem rápido (ao menos para mim), isso me deixa muito mais ansioso que entediado (realmente não me senti entediado em momento algum, e quero retornar para ver se consigo passar da quinta "camada").

2 - Gráficos, Áudio, Narrativa e Polimento: Os gráficos foram muito divertidos. O áudio muito engraçado. A narrativa não é o foco aqui. Polimento sempre pode ser feito, mas realmente não encontrei algo a ser apontado (considerando o tempo de Ludum Dare).

3 - Cultura: Por ser citado que o gênero do jogo fez alusão a outro jogo anterior, creio que tome partido por aumentar o número de peças de jogos derivados do anterior. O jogo não faz tanto sentido do ponto de vista de salvar um peixe (nem esperava isso, apenas ri bastante com tudo isso, hahahahahah).

4 - Monetização: Não sei o quanto o jogo poderia ser vendável, tomando pelo princípio de ser apenas um estágio (até agora).

1 - Mechanics, Learning and Flow: The mechanics of following the sequence of the previous stage, but adding a new layer. Learning was not much work for me, because with each attempt we have visual feedback of what we try to do, in addition to a text explaining (I believe in some moments with errors) what we did wrong. The flow escalates very fast (at least for me), it makes me much more anxious than bored (I really didn't feel bored at all, and I want to return to see if I can get past the fifth "layer").

2 - Graphics, Audio, Narrative and Polishment: The graphics were really fun. The audio very funny. The narrative is not the focus here. Polishing can always be done, but I haven't really found anything to point out (considering Ludum Dare's time).

3 - Culture: As it was mentioned that the game genre alluded to another previous game, I believe that it takes sides by increasing the number of game pieces derived from the previous one. The game doesn't make much sense from the point of view of saving a fish (I didn't expect that, I just laughed a lot with all this, hahahahahah).

4 - Monetization: I don't know how much the game could be sold, assuming it was just a stage (until now).

Definitely very funny and has a lot of "juice." The graphics are awesome, from the UI design (which feels like a Jackbox game) to the fish animations / reactions (which feels like an oldschool cartoon.

@qfrct @a333 Quit button issue is now resolved for the webGL version! @gustavo-christino Thanks for your feedback and your analysis! You're right, we just wanted to create a game for playing. Our choices don't have any sense for the narrative aspect because this game is only about "having fun" and "laughing". 30 seconds or 10 minutes where you just forget everything and you listen to this fish :smile: For the monetization part, we'll see, maybe a free mobile game or something else, we don't know, it's too soon for now to decide. It's hard for us to answer to all comments but, THANK YOU everyone for supporting us!

The way I actually suck at simon says

james-kusardi 2020-04-23 23:47

everything about this game fits the concept super well - it's just really well put together overall, i enjoyed the little bit i played of it! however, sometimes my clicks do get eaten up, but idk if that's the game or if it's on my side

belowzerogames 2020-04-24 01:51

Great little game I made it to round 3 once but just too tired can't focus.

lessthanridiculous 2020-04-24 04:29

Quite comical, gives me some hard core 90's cartoon vibes!

duck-reaction 2020-04-24 06:32

Sad to says, but I think lot of fish are died because of our game :cry:

@molpe thank you for sharing your video :thumbsup:

@james-kusardi it could be the game, cause sometimes Unity colliders have strange behaviour and fail to detect click. I can't tell for sure. Hope that doesn't spoil the game.

Thanks again guys for playing at our game !

robokarla 2020-04-24 07:07

LOL this one made me happy. I love the art! Fish looks so derpy but cute : D

hcursino 2020-04-24 07:16

This was the weirdest version of Simon says I have ever played, you made me laugh a lot. Brilliant entry! Good job.

jin9310 2020-04-24 09:06

Really cool take on the theme! Had a blast with it, thank you

doot 2020-04-24 11:53

Awesome job! The art and sound design takes this to a whole other level. Thanks a lot for this game!

denis123 2020-04-24 12:20

great graphics :) ... but how could I sleep now?

finnthepirate 2020-04-24 12:26

wow! this is the most unique game I've played so far, the fish is brilliant good job

2020-04-24 13:35

Awesome audio and graphics! Very unique and fun game! I love what happens when you do something wrong! Good job, and keep it up!!!

kate90 2020-04-24 14:41

Original idea! I didnt play Simon says...since I was little kid! Its Fun! Great job!

red-ash 2020-04-24 15:11

I loved the sound design ! Simple, efficient, a bit cringe, good job.

yxmx-rsx 2020-04-24 17:13

That was fun! Good graphics and sound. Well done guys.

nsadie 2020-04-24 17:41

Haha, very nice! A fun silly game with excellent art! Really original idea!

xitaro 2020-04-24 18:03

Very fun game, good art, sfx and gameplay :)

itsatony 2020-04-24 18:27

loved it, really did. first i thought it'd be clicker heroes, then it was pure fun and my brain turned to mush

0x01f0 2020-04-24 18:33

gyaahhhhh!

reached level 9 (╬▔皿▔)╯

great humor and I like that you used the UI for instructions too, kind of felt like the fish was trolling me (︶^︶)

zachary-rodrigue 2020-04-24 18:57

i liked the "fish said quit" i realy srprised me

duck-reaction 2020-04-24 19:29

@x01f0 Level 9 is good performance ! :thumbsup: :muscle: And yeah, the fish is a troller :wink:

Thank you everyone ! There are so many of you that try our game and comment, it's crazy !

thedeadlybutter 2020-04-24 20:09

this is a winner!!!!! the fish died screen is so funny.

eldogg 2020-04-24 20:33

Lovely squidgy animations. Very disgusting. Gross. I like it. Sound effects chosen feel really fun! Horns are great.

taran-unraveler 2020-04-24 20:50

I've got a baaaaaad memory, tripped in my fingers more than once. I really had fun playing this game! well done!

brenan 2020-04-24 21:06

Wow I was not ready for this haha. A very funny game that reminds me of alcohol games. Very well made, juicy gameplay(ad fish) I love it! Great entry guys ;)

simon-rahnasto 2020-04-24 21:52

This is a really unique entry, strange and addictive. It is really stressful after level 5, my brain can't keep the fish alive after that point. I found all of the sound effects to be specially awesome, they go well with the wacky visual effects of the fish being squished. But I killed fish... how will I sleep now :cry:

unimaginable-code-studios 2020-04-24 22:19

Wow!! This game is super fun. I love the sound effects and graphics. When you do something, the fishes reaction is unbearably funny. That makes me laugh so much :). Also when you spam different buttons and click a bunch of times, all the sound effects combine and make an really cool song. Overall, I LOVE this game!!!

hangarter 2020-04-24 22:52

This is damn fun and amazing. Mindblowing how simple and fun some game can be. Kudos!

g-a-gamestudio 2020-04-25 02:06

This game is amazing. The graphics blew me away. The 3D model of the fish was absolutely amazing. Also I love the sound effects. It is so funny when the fish dies. Overall great game. It gives me a vibe of the fish game, "I am fish", which is like the game, "I am toast", as in those games you had to save yourself and there were difficult controls making it a little rage inducing. The difficult controls are part of the game. Just like those difficult controls it is hard to remember the sequence in this game.

dingotime 2020-04-25 02:44

Amazing art and great sound too! Good job.

samsdevlog 2020-04-25 03:18

The presentation on this is amazing. I found myself smiling the entire time I was playing. Extremely creative and fun.

shadoninja 2020-04-25 04:41

This is pretty weird haha. I did play it longer than I expected!

hej-medister 2020-04-25 05:14

A really fun game. I ended up playing the game in a longer time in i thought:-)

lootgrounds 2020-04-25 11:06

Simple and fun game. The difficulty curve ramps up very quickly but its a jam game after all. Had a blast playing it

garys 2020-04-25 11:44

Fun game... I really liked the sound, thought it fit really well. Feel like the game cheated a bit, sometimes I would lose even though I did the right thing. Fish said nothing? Stoopid fish.

duck-reaction 2020-04-25 12:30

@simon-rahnasto Thanks for your comment! You're right this is very hard memory game but we're happy that you enjoyed the game! But if you want to sleep now... You have to save more fishes :smile:

@unimaginable-code-studios Thank you! So nice to read that you like the stupid interaction with the fish, we spent lot of time to make it juicy and you feel it, that's the best compliment!

@g-a-gamestudio we haven't made the connection with "I am toast" game and our game before... That's true there are similarities between both, that's interesting. Thanks for your feedback, so happy that you laughed saving the fish :)

Well thanks everyone for all your good comments! So happy that you enjoy playing the game and you share it :smiley:

abiral 2020-04-25 16:56

I love the art and the graphics of this game. The UI is clean and makes the game look really cool. Overall its a really nice experience and I enjoyed it.

anystarabove 2020-04-25 18:33

so fun. I especially liked the sound effects. For some reason, the feel and amusement reminded me of a fun carnival game. Made me smile.

geckoo1337 2020-04-25 18:38

I love the main aesthetic and sounds. Colors are gorgeous - a beautiful palette. The way you manage drums is amazing. I have to do that next time. The main gameplay fits with the theme and reminds me a little popular game for kids where I live in France - **Jacques a dit (...)** You deserve good ratings. I had fun playing. Thank you ++

projectaroid 2020-04-25 18:43

Really interesting game. A lot of fun and great visuals.

zaiuspanda 2020-04-25 19:14

It's so funny. I also love the colours.

lyje 2020-04-25 19:22

Really nice. Simple and polished. Presentation is fantastic in every respect!

joemag 2020-04-25 19:53

The music, the graphics, the scream all super delightful. Simple gameplay mechanic but it made me giggle every time. Super fun great job!

cadstor 2020-04-25 19:55

The aesthetics are so cool! I like the SFX and the weirdness hahaha Nice game :3

duck-reaction 2020-04-25 20:26

@geckoo1337 Thanks for feedback! (Ouais "le Jacques a dit" on connait très bien :smile: ) You're right, "Jacques a dit" bring this rule where you have to do it only if "Jacques" ask you, that's basically the same for the fish. Thanks for helping and supporting everyone, all your comment really encourage us!

seabirddigital 2020-04-26 04:15

Really cool game. I had lots of fun playing it. Great job.

janmatyoostudio 2020-04-26 08:40

lol this game is funny, the animation plus the sound effects really make it more interesting to play. I cannot sleep at night now

add-an-a 2020-04-26 10:57

I loved the colour palette, and the wonderfully squishy fish eyes. Something that I found a bit frustrating was the down time between rounds. The 'Fish Saved, Next Round x' screen felt like it could have been incorporated into the main game screen for better flow.

Other than that, well done on such a fun experience.

adriana 2020-04-26 11:23

Absurdity and simplicity at their best, congrats :)

duck-reaction 2020-04-26 16:25

@add-an-a thank you for your constructive feedback, you're right, the down time can be frustrating.

Thank you all for your feedbacks, it's very helpful !

chicomcastro 2020-04-26 17:21

Lost on first try, poor fish :(

Haha, I had so much fun playing this one, and loved the sound effects. Loved the smash fish head animation too!

emmyoop 2020-04-26 18:59

Funny game! Sfx were good. More itneraction would be nice but for a game jam it's great.

attala 2020-04-26 19:03

LMAO, what a fun game. The graphics and sounds make this simple game so entertaining. Good work!

guipuyol 2020-04-26 19:30

That was a fun game. I played the Moron Test just a few days ago and this felt very similar. I struggled to read the instructions fast enough (I read SLOWly), but overall a cool game. Loved the sound effects and goofyness of the fish.

ariake81 2020-04-26 20:52

that's just brilliant, what a great way to use the theme. well done! realized now my memory is terrible though!!!

charles-fernandez 2020-04-27 01:33

I've played quite a fair amount of game entries for Ludum Dare 46, but this is the first game I rated an overall score of a perfect 5... a game about saving a fish in a completely nonsensical way... Lord help me.

Nonetheless, the game was funny, it was challenging for someone with terrible memory like mine, it was simple to understand, and I loved the incredibly odd animations. My only critique is that clicking the fish on his "upper body" would still be considered his head, which made me a sad fish, sometimes D: But other than that, the game was awesome!

sugarsores 2020-04-27 04:20

What a perfectly dorky game haha! The art was superb and the sounds were quirky. I'm assuming that the fish was a bunch of blendshapes- that's slick! How do you expect me to sleep at night though?

krakadushka 2020-04-27 08:00

Ahah, it's amazing! No game with LD46 has ever made me feel as good as yours. Really good job! I especially liked the way you did the fish squeezing animation - it's really fun :) I also want to note the sound after death-fast zombies from HL2 perfectly fit into the setting of the game. But I think that by level 5-6 it becomes too difficult to play and it is not very good. However, it is not necessary to increase the difficulty at each subsequent level. But still well done!

jayesstee 2020-04-27 08:49

The fish died and it's all my fault! TROMBONE NOISE

hugo-kieffer 2020-04-27 09:43

i have nightmare of this fish! ahaha, realy like this stange mood and this fish screaming when i loose, like the art style too, really really simple idea but executed in a really funy way, its a good entry, goodjob!

rikitaner 2020-04-27 10:01

Well I absolutely love this! Not only does it involve saving fish, just like my entry, it is also very funny and fun. It also difficult and quite the memory exercise. Fantastic game, really loved it!

verbvirus 2020-04-27 11:15

Nice work, really funny sudden response and feedback. It looks awesome too. A nice simple concept that you nailed perfectly.

pask320 2020-04-27 12:49

Nice take on Simon says, the audio and graphics worked well together.

jamjar 2020-04-27 15:32

I enjoyed a lot, the art style was amazing the audio/visual responses of the fish were good. Well done!

bitpokit 2020-04-27 18:26

This is seriously one of my favorite entries. I absolutely love this game. I laugh every time I see his head get squished and his eyes bulge. The mechanics are fun and satisfying. I love the art and UI as well. Fantastic work!!! :smile_cat:

duck-reaction 2020-04-27 19:09

This game was made with love, so we are really happy to know that you love this game ! :revolving_hearts:

Thank you guys !

analog-limb 2020-04-28 07:16

A very funny game, I liked the graphics and the "command" to advance mechanic, but the text was a bit too fast to read for me. The sound and atmosphere works well with the game and the "Wilhelm​ Scream" was a nice touch. After a couple of times i managed to make it work, but it felt repetitive after a while.

gamescodedogs 2020-04-28 09:59

Thanks for the game :)

larsspawn 2020-04-29 06:29

This is entertaining! simple mechanics, good graphics and funny sounds are amazing!

Great game over animation. ARGHHHHHHHHHH

puppetmaster 2020-05-03 10:47

The learning curve is steep but when you get the knack it is fun and the animation and graphics make me laugh every time.

Well done, keep it up!

eugenik 2020-05-03 16:12

Great graphics, original idea!

danilo-freire 2020-05-06 17:28

Hey, congrats for the entry. Had some trouble with the inputs, some times a click is interpreted as an hold and a keyboard letter as an mouse click... I played the HTML 5!

kusaihana 2020-05-07 14:03

Hilarious! :-D

jmad 2020-05-07 23:36

Had a lot of fun. That squeeze, daaamn :smile: Really liked your version of the classic. It's simple yet challenging, works perfectly, has infinite replayability... Superb. Lost at round 9, my brain got too slow for the countdown - sleep-deprivation, my fault.

PS : uncheck "Fullscreen button" in the itch.io Embed frame options, it adds a non-working one on top of the integrated WebGL build one.

flynn 2020-05-07 23:50

A very funny game. Love the color theme and how you guys use the UI as part of the gameplay. Very innovative and well executed game overall! (EDIT: Did not see it is done by one person, even more impressive )

duck-reaction 2020-05-08 00:04

Okay thanks for reporting this, we'll check this for the next update. @flynn Thanks for playing :) Actually we are team of two brothers working on this game!

slurp1e 2020-05-08 15:52

RIP poor fishy :( This game was super fun to play btw .. loved the effects when u squeeze the fish LOL

strega 2020-05-09 23:29

Really silly game. I had some input issues as well and couldn't get very far, but he fish animations and reactions were fun to play with.

linluk 2020-05-11 15:06

absolutely funny :D

I feel a little sad for the fish ;-P
