Really good concept, and I think I will be nice dictator now. One thinkh need to improve - stackable megaphones. It looks bad, because it cant be real (yeah I said it about game). Another things are good! (except swordmen, they are imbalanced).

And yeah, I cant hear music or sound. Maybe it was my browser, but if not - it is bug.

Sorry, there was an unfortunate mixup of accounts, as I am participating in two jams. The tyranny game is here:

Nice entry. I love the idea of having games reflect the natural world. Taking something so mechanical like game engineering and turning it into a piece of art. Yeah the game could use some polish but I don't even mind that much. I loaded the game and just loved the feel of it. Great job!

THIS IS AWESOME!! I loved the concept and the gameplay!! I played through the 8 levels and enjoyed every minutes of it! You could have kept only the concept of the first part, but no you went even further and improved it even more with the fleeing jellyfish! The art is super simple, but work so well!! Really congratulation for this game!

Hey! Awesome idea for the game! Nice simple graphics! The real challenge have started after a while since I started playing this game... my eyes started to be really tired from focusing:) but I had a lot of fun playing this game! Great work!

Great entry! It was really easy to pick up and a joy to finish. One thing of note, at the start of every level I just spam clicked the screen for a little bit and that was good for a decent amount fish. Not sure if that's wanted or intentional, I'll leave that up to you.

Interesting concept. I wish the game was longer so that you could have added more ideas using those nice visuals. Great!

Interesting gameplay! I passed all the levels with great pleasure (and I want more!).

At the moment, the sound is mostly functional. You can improve the audio by making it more diverse. I would really like to have unobtrusive, but cute music in the background.

I liked the design of the sea creatures. It is minimalistic, pixelated, but very cute. It would be great if the menu was made in the same style.

Wow, what a lovely concept!

I’m sorry, made in 4 hours?!

I really liked the swarming behavior of the jellies! And the fact that they were running away from the cursor, but you had to go and click, was even a bit diabolical :wink: It was fun to play through the levels.

Some delicate background music would do well here (or some deep ocean ambience even). And it would be cool if there was some times summary screen at the end.

Very creative! I especially liked the rainbow jellies. Did you use the concept of boids in your logic?

tucan 2021-05-08 04:22

Hehehe very relaxing! Nice concept! I really liked the rainbow jellyfish! I think because the jellies and fish are pixelart, having the UI and text as pixelart would match better! Also I would have liked having some kind of background music. Good Job! Screenshot_2021-05-07_22-17-36.png

Minimalistic and entertaining game, nice entry!

mighty-mufflon-games 2021-05-15 11:58

This is quite a interesting idea there. Everything feels smooth. I would suggest to let the hidden fish blink for a moment or something, 'cause for me/my eyes they were hard to see. Also the fish only should be clickable, if you revealed them. Great entry.

Loved the graphics in this, the jellyfish look beautiful. Good work!

francesco 2021-05-15 13:20

I found the concept so innovative and was even more surprised with the jellyfish part ! I really enjoy swarm algorithms, and I even found some aesthetical charm in the patterns formed, especially in level 4.

More levels exploring new gameplay ideas, and a nice ambient soundtrack would make it perfect ! Well done !

tentaclemax 2021-05-17 22:32

Wow! Very nice game! Idea is so fresh! (at least I never seen anything like that before) Very enjoyable!

alyd-asmar 2021-05-18 00:27

One of the best games I've tested so far. Congrats:v::sparkles: I can make your level selection background if you want, I had so much fun with the game!

johnnysix 2021-05-18 01:01

Really unique mechanic - would be cool to see some more emergent behaviour from the jelly-fish, and if you continue to develop- particularly for multi-touch, to allow for more challenging interactions.

euler-moises 2021-05-18 02:39

Awesome! One of the coolest mechanics I've seen in this ludum dare! I would spend hours playing this game if there were more levels. Really very good!

Two criticisms: 1 - There is no sound! It would be more immersive if there was music or maybe some sound from the bottom of the sea! 2 - Pixel art looks beautiful but contrasts too much with the UI (which seems to have been downloaded from the internet.).

Maybe this one should have taken longer to make the game and have done more on those two points.

Really enjoyed! Congratulations!

Pretty neato. I had a nice time chillaxing and finding them fishies.

danceswe 2021-05-18 05:07

Very fun game. Really enjoyed playing and like the swarm/repulse effect. I'd go back to it.

joe40001 2021-05-18 07:00

I liked the game, I will say it doesn't change much so there isn't tons of incentive to keep playing, even so I played it all and I am glad I did because the visuals on the second group were quite cool. Innovative idea.
