Enjoyable game with a silly premise! I did notice a bug where if you just kept jumping out of the water you can get an infinite amount of flails outside of the water, regardless of the shells you have. Other than that I had a lot of fun!
Holy hell this is so fun. Took a second to figure out that time slowed down when you hold down the mouse button, but once i figured that out and started launching that fish around it was a blast. I suck at your game still but I had a great time playing it. Nice job!
Man you can set that fish flying. I had fun with this one.
What a stupid, fun idea. Thanks, that was hilarious!
Good mechanics however I did encounter a minor bug: When I completed a level and then went back to the main menu and selected a new level the timer was frozen.
I lovely idea! A great combination of punishing and humorous!
Very addictive, congrats!
It's cathartic to just flail and boost this fish around it turns out. I ran into the same situation where I just got unlimited flails by jumping into and out of the water, and I absolutely launched myself off the right side of the last level :)
This was really fun, and I loved the art. Great job!
this is a really solid concept for a platformer. level design is going in a good direction, good room for expansion here. had great fun. I really like the background art! feels a bit at odds with the rest of the visual direction.
Thanks everybody for playing our game! I'm trying to check all of yours too, and I'm having great fun. About the timer bug, thanks for alerting us, will be fixed pretty soon on the next patch. And concerning the exploit on infinte dashes, yeah, we know hahaha. The solution was way to complicated to meet the deadline, but thanks for the feedback! :)
After trying it a few times, I accumulated dozens of shells and sped across the map to beat it in about 3 minutes. Lot's of fun with lovely music, though the "flailing" never felt as good in game as it does in the main menu.

Had a rough start figuring out how to harness the flinging mechanic. But once I understood that I can do quick successions of flinging when in water really elevated the depth and action of the gameplay. I felt the flail felt weaker in game than in the menu??? Had to really spam that guy when I failed a landing, but I learned quickly how to horde mid air flings so I barely flailed by the end. Music grew on me a lot as well as the gameplay started flow quicker.
The game was really fun and definitely would be a fun mobile game especially with the controls. I never got stuck which was really nice and it was just a fun game with some unique challenges like the water wall jumping sections which made it more interesting and fun!
10/10 would slow-mo-flail my fish across the world again XD Also thought the ground flailing could be a bit stronger, but otherwise it's a super fun and satifying game!
Fun and exciting mechanic! Harvesting jumps is probably unintended but enjoyable nonetheless -- once you get momentum going you *really* get going! If I had to suggest something, it would be to show off the cool mechanics earlier -- like the thin strips of water that make platforming possible. That was the best stuff and it's late in the game!
great jam game, dude, its really satisfying to play. I'd play this on mobile
Again, overwhelmed by the positive feedback, thank you all for playing!
About the wall jumping sections, the level were made in the other as I designed them, so I got more creative towards the end haha. Thank you for the critique, will remember that on the future.
We are fixing the flailing, should be fine by the next update!
With the Linux version, I get stuck at the title screen. It seems like I can't advance, nor can I exit without force quitting. There's a big button saying "press flail to fail" but it doesn't seem to do anything when clicked. Is this a known bug?
Hi, @3lstmsinatrenchcoat, thanks for downloading!
Just spam space bar haha. I guess we should write down some instructions in game
It was fun, the concept was original, and jazz music quite relaxing
Cool idea and nice to play, but the graphics are not very good
The fling slowdown and physics is really satisfying. One of the best games I've played so far.
