I really enjoyed the movement in the game and it really was just fun to move around but this game really needed some music and sound effects. Just to make moving around in the water feel just that much more satisfying.

Nice jellyfish physics, you succeeded to make it really feel like one, I gave a bit extra rating on overall score for that. Felt the theme was hard to fit to Jellyfish even how you did it. Nice game.

THIS GAME IS JUST SO COOL EPIC

Really cool game! The movements are pretty originals, and really are satisfying, the ambiance is relaxing. Unfortunately, i felt like the unstable effect wasn't punishing enough, and i would have liked a button to quit the game at the end. A bit of calm musics and sounds would have been a huge plus tho, but i do know how much of a struggle it can be lmao

Interesting idea and nice graphics. I think some nice, calming music would've enhanced the experience a lot, though.

Good job!

Really love the atmosphere. I think it was not entirely clear what the red orb did. I was not sure if I was supposed to collect them to refill my meter or it was best to avoid. But it was an enjoyable experience regardless.

@jesusonwheels thank you for the question!

the red orb add some unstable facotor for the game. it help you refill a little but also cause you hard to controll direction and your speed will randomly become fast or slow.

i was trying to give player two coice:

only white orb: safe and stable, but in someplace it will be hard to reach next orb(only if you remember the way or just reborn)

both white and red orb: more chance to go further but unstable with controll

This game would have benefited heavily from some audio, love the idea of a jellyfish game with ambient sounds and a relaxing vibe. To me the concept of this is great, but man pupu goes crazy with the red orbs. Good job friend

Very nice and relaxing. Quiet actually works well for this game.

Fun little game! The controls are simple but effective. Would have loved a few more modifiers / challenges besides the 'red' unstable shiney.

Cool game. At first I thought that purple orbs aren't that bad, and then I eat more than two, and got myself a surprise :)

Cool game! Fun and relaxing to play, the quiet was nice.

Pretty interesting game! Could really do with some music and sound effects and more gameplay features. overall pretty good

Cute little game. I think the swim controls of the jellyfish was very nice. And it was very nice that the checkpoints were so frequent that the inevitable fails didn't punish me too much.

The unstable orbs were interesting. And it made sense that they added to the uncontrollable state. But I think it would have been more fun to the player if that state, like the light-bar, was something that clearly wore off over time. As it was now it felt like if I got more than one, it was just a matter of waiting for a respawn. Perhaps the bad orbs also could give a bit of light so there's a benefit to them too.

Anyways, nice relaxing game!

The game was very calming to play, and I liked the art.

A very cute little game. I liked the mechanics of the movement of the jellyfish. And the jellyfish itself is very cute with nice animation. I would like to see a more varied environment. I think this could be a great mobile game.

@local-minimum thank you for detail comment!

the red orb actually give you a little light randomly(sometimes negative) but the value might be too low to see.

I wish I cloud have more time to adjust the value to make the gameplay better ;)

Really good little game ! The animation were really good and cute, love Pupu
