first game, yayy!!!

sarangayos 2020-10-05 22:00

We are in !!

charlotte-raymond 2020-10-06 22:03

I really loved this, good job! What a great take on the theme. Simple but fun design. I found myself playing multiple levels and the staggered difficulty progression felt really good.

dani-tufeld 2020-10-07 05:57

Thank you very much @charlotte-raymond, we are glad you enjoyed it. we will continue developing this game, more level and a mobile version are on their way.

Really cool!!!

nectanebo 2020-10-07 15:54

Wonderful game! The art is adorable and the gameplay really fun! It gets harder and harder pretty smoothly and it makes you to wanna play it again! The only problem is that it bugged at one point, when i finished the 5th or the 6th level. Overall, excellent game for real :)

robowarrior1982 2020-10-07 19:44

Nice concept, simple but efficient ! Graphics and sound are really cool perfect for the game. Maybe you can add a time to increase the challenge or a scoring system. Anyway great game in mobile style ! Good work ! lll.png

@lohreck, @robowarrior1982, @eugenik, @etrealjunior, @nectanebo

Thank you guys a lot!!!! it is our first time and we were really excited about the Jam, your opinion is highly appriciated and we are planing to continue devloping the game for mobile.

Thanks again!!!

This could be a whole mobile game, it was fun but I felt it was too easy, maybe scaling a little bit the difficulty in the last levels, but great job, launch it on the play store if you can!

unicornfrog 2020-10-08 00:04

Nice puzzles!

How does the game end? I don't know if it is a bug, but on one level the octopus kept touching the treasure but did not pass to the next level.

etrealjunior 2020-10-08 02:44

I liked the Puzzles system, I recommend decreasing the resolution that is configured for the game display in the itch, as it ends up cutting a lot of pieces and the person has to keep looking for where the fullscreen button went, I had to reduce it to 70% to make it ideal , but nothing that gets in the way of fun, there should be something more noticeable that should catch the ball, and an answer saying that you have to hit the pass when it is more than once, congratulations again a big hug!

dani-tufeld 2020-10-08 05:52

@unicornfrog Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed, it is not a bug, this is how far we reached with the game so far. Will be better in beta

dani-tufeld 2020-10-08 05:56

@etrealjunior Thank you very much for the all the comments, dully noticed, we will fix it. Glad to ear you enjoyed it!! Cheers

milmalissa 2020-10-08 14:56

Wow, that's a really nice one, good job! I really enjoyed playing this game and the music an style is really cute.

yword 2020-10-08 15:02

Just finished all levels, very interesting and innovative! Well done. ^_^

dani-tufeld 2020-10-08 15:02

@milmalissa thanks a lot!!!!

very happy to hear you enjoyed it!!!

tino 2020-10-08 15:03

I loved the art, and the one button hit puzzle concept is successful. Well done. Some nice ocean style chill music would be perfect.

I guessed from previous comments that it was the end when my little octopus started being way too happy about his treasure :p

thewustache 2020-10-08 15:22

I really enjoyed this game! Also fits the theme well. The early levels are a good introduction to the mechanic so the later ones can be really interesting to play. I'd suggest adding some more details to the rings to make it easier to perceive their direction and velocity.

I could imagine that this concept could also work well with an infinite level, if you want to look into that. Great entry!

feraligatr 2020-10-08 18:15

Gameplay is nice and its not too repetitive, it is also managable to beat within 10 minutes, exact the right size to rate it appropiatly. The Audio was fitting but it felt a bit empty with just the bubbles and the SFX. Otherwise a nice game!

dani-tufeld 2020-10-08 20:35

Thank you Guys for all the kind word, it means a lot for us, @yword great to hear you enjoyed it!!! @tino he is a happy octopus LOL, but sirecely that is what we managed to squeeze in the 72 hours, working on the rest as we speak. @thewustache we do plan to add some ship wreck elements on the ring, and what did you mean exacly for infinite level? sounds interesting. @feraligatr we recived a lot of feedback reagrding the sound, defently one of the first things to fix!

thanks again!!!!!

edalbung 2020-10-10 14:50

Nice little puzzle game!

Here are my feedback:

_Positive points - Clever usage of the theme - The main character is cute - It controls really well, it felt responsive - Good SFXs

_Negative points - No music during gameplay - The LD elements are quite simple visually compare to the main character

Overall: gg for your work!

vivien-fargette 2020-10-10 14:50

Pretty fun overall but could use a bit of polishing: an ending screen after the last level would be nice as the octopus just got stuck into the treasure for the last level, I thought it was a but. The ability to move around the circle you currently are (with a and d or arrows) would add a bit of energy to the game as waiting for the opening to come back to you was sometimes a bit long when you miss it. Menu music was nice so it's a bit sad to not have it during the game.

Quite a nice result, I loved the graphics and you made a pretty good level design :D

Also, you can add your team members to the author of the game: it will allow them to rate other games to get a better smart balance ;)

flaterectomy 2020-10-10 15:46

What a charming puzzle game. The first few levels were very much the same, but once you added the mines and other lethal obstacles it really came together. Pretty solid art, decent sound effects - all that was missing was some music.

I wonder if there's a more in-theme solution for the black circles, maybe some kind of whirlpool effect, but it's hard to give critiques other than that. Good job!

merpui 2020-10-10 15:51

Sweet game! The puzzles are well thought out :) The only thing I was missing was an end screen or something similar when you finished the last level. But nevertheless, well done!

spice-cabinet 2020-10-10 16:06

Fun Game! No complaints here. I thought I'd add this image so you could see where the octopus gets stuck. DeleteThis.PNG

dani-tufeld 2020-10-11 14:06

@spice-cabinet @merpui @flaterectomy @edalbung thank you guys for the feedback, very glad you enjoyed our game, we working as we speak on a newer version and that will be availble on app store as well, thanks to all your commants we know were to put our focus.

@vivien-fargette thanks for the tip regarding the group members.

Cheers to all!

snotax 2020-10-11 15:34

Fun little game. Didn't think i play so many levels as I did :D Got something interesting here.

kolkav 2020-10-12 03:44

The character design is super cute! The game design very well-rounded! I like how each level fits into the screen, every time you know where to go, the structure is the same, but the layout is always different. The idea to add a pink sphere to deviate player movements from going only straight to the center to make him go somewhere else first is a fun and easy to digest deviation. Overall a very polished and pleasant experience)

jk5000 2020-10-13 17:42

A super simple and interesting little game idea. I had fun playing it. Well done.

balance686 2020-10-17 21:57

Love the artwork! Very vibrant. The game is fun to play and I like the difficulty progression. Excellent use of the theme as well. One suggestion I have is I think collecting the pink orb should make the boundary disappear rather than let you pass through it.

I ran into a bug where once I hit the chest the player jittered back and forth and the level wouldn't end. Not sure which one it was because I couldn't back out but I'm attaching a screenshot if it helps.

Great submission!

danielcmcg 2020-10-22 15:26

Nice game. Simple and fun to play, the animations are well made and the puzzles have a good progression. Good job on that!

trexxak 2020-10-23 01:58

This was very fun, the soothing background music made me play this for far longer than I anticipated :'D

Incredible for a first game!

dani-tufeld 2020-10-23 05:41

@snotax @kolkav @jk5000 @balance686 @danielcmcg @trexxak

[We played your game on stream this weekend!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/781046795?t=01h36m44s)

Our first piece of advice: Please please PLEASE put screenshots of your game on your game page! Y'all have a very cute game on your hands, and more people need to see it! :slight_smile:

The game itself is also very fun! It's a super unique premise while at the same time being nice and simple to understand. I think y'all deserve more attention for this one.
