Is there more to the game that I'm missing? I seem to be stuck in the first level. I reach the first doorway (using z/x to elevate the water first). When I reach the door, I'm instantly reset to the beginning. Very cool concept, but I want to play more of it than the first scene!
I love the art, there is some screen tearing issues but in general it's great. Raising water level is brilliant. Sadly found the level looped into itself upon completion. (Did it a few times to make sure!)
For some reason the game IS stuck on the first level but some features seem to be changing. Example the statue of something isn't there at the start and the box disappears. Is that how the game is supposed go on or is it a bug?
Cool concept and great execution with just a few bugs(stripes between tileset when jumping, some random teleporatation sometimes). I like the swimming animation. Too bad I spent more time reading the plot than actually playing as it is so shhort. Good entry though
really nice concept and nice graphics
Tearing issue aside, I thought this was a really nice little platformer. The animation switch between walking and swimming was delightful.
Fun little game! Feels good to play and there's plenty of interesting lore :)
I liked the water raising mechanic, that was pretty cool to mess around with. I just wish there were more levels to play!
I really like the concept. I was a bit confused on the first level until I figured out the lever mechanics, but I did enjoy the levels. I'd be interested to see how you expand this in the future.
Very fun concept! Using the switches to affect the level and character mechanics made for some really unique gameplay, and I love the puzzle platformer feeling of it. Great job!
Nice little mechanic that is well executed. Solid build up of difficulty throughout it. There was a graphical tearing issue just fyi.
fun little game! The flashing background when jumping was a little jarring, but overall well done!
Really nice art! The water level trick was neat, this would make a fun game if you expanded it I think!
Absolutely loved this game. The only bad thing I can say about it is I wish it was longer. Great job!
I love the pixel art in your game! There's some nasty graphical glitches, and the movement felt a bit glitchy sometimes as well, but it still looks great!
Very short game but game itself and specialy character is just sweet. Congratulation for idea!
I like the Idea, but to make it more chalaging You should add a way player can loose, a timer or some enemies.
A lovely little platformer. The art is really beautiful. The graphics glitch when jumping felt quite disrupting and would be a good fix for a past-LD-version :) I would be interested in an extended version of this game!
So we like going deeper and deeper into the ruins? really love this game
I liked the story of a guppy taking revenge and sinking Atlantis! The pixel art looks great, especially the fish as it transitions from swimming to walking. The mechanic of raising and lowering the water level has the potential for some great puzzle designs. I did notice the background glitching out when jumping, and I do wish there was sound effects or music to really add to the mood. But otherwise this was a great game with lots of potential!
Art and animations are great! I'd love to see more levels with tougher puzzles - figuring out the order of the switches, toggling some on and off again in different orders, crates or other bits floating with the water to make platforms, etc. -- this little game has a ton of potential! Great job :smile:
Pretty cute! I like the art. It's a little basic at the moment, but I think a post-LD version with sound, more levels, a couple more mechanics, etc. would be really fun to play!
Love the music and graphics. Really nice job! Some Sfx would go along way.
The animations are really exceptional in this game. The jump and swim animations in particular reads incredibly well. Controls were pretty intuitive and responsive as well. But when it comes to the physics of this game...boy, it's really rough. I didn't like colliding into a wall, and teleporting upwards. There were also weird behavior when swimming on the surface of the water that made it difficult to dive into the water. I confess bugs like these are a bit of a pet peeve of mine.
I also found the lever graphics to be a bit ambiguous. I initially thought they were background torches, so I didn't both to interact with them. Once I did figure out they were levers, I thought the puzzles involving with them were...a bit simple. Like, there's some stuff going on when there were two or more, but much of it felt like just needing to know the right sequence of levers to hit to get to the goal, which I think without another mechanic like block pushing, makes it rather dull to go through said motions.
There are some strong Water Temple potential here (believe it or not, my favorite type of The Legend of Zelda temples), would like to see some more features and bug fixes added in to bring the best out of this game.
