My fav part of the game was jellyfish acceleration. I think the jelly fish blended in with the background too much so maybe add an outline. Also make the shark faster *evil smile*

I loved its little emoticon face, that was a really nice touch. Overall, it's really cute, and a well made submission. Nice work! :-]
Charging your boost is like F-Zero which is a strictly good and fun thing. Thanks for this.
Couldn't really get the hang of the controls, but the game looks real nice!
A lot more fun than I was expecting for such a simple game! Really wanted to keep trying to get further and further, I love that exploration of mechanics! Maybe I just didn't make it far enough but having the entire game on just one edge of the screen feels kinda weird though. Overall though, pretty good stuff!
Ayo i thought this was just some simple game as well nice job!
thanks for playing my game @simpathey =) its always a pleasure! i totally get what you mean and will definitly be building a more intense one soon!
im glad you liked and had as much fun as i did @connor-magson and thanks for playing! i just wanted it to be a chill game with a catch
thanks for checking it out @walk i hope you had a chill time
@pixeltaku ooohh i never thought of that i should really adjust positions! duly noted the updated version will have better camera management. and im glad you liked it and had fun =)
thanks for checking my game out @gm637official its actually just 1 material, 3 planes, a shark sprite and a half a sphere lol =D
Nice Hooka sound effects! very cool squid eyes :smile: O,O and >,<
Simple and nice, good work!
I don' know how you did the water effect but this is really cool looking.
hey @erikengineengineer thanks for playing my game i loved your reaction!
hey thanks for playing my game @hechi im glad you liked it i hope you had a chill playthrough :smile:
@nicmagnier it is just a perlin noise based material on a plane surface! and the jelly is just half a sphere with the same material thanks for cheking my game out i hope you had a fun playthrough
Really fun idea! Meets the theme of the jam incredibly well, and his little emoji face was adorable.
I really like the graphics and sound here! I think it captures the chill ocean atmosphere well! The gameplay while simple was quite fun. It just felt a bit slow for my liking :). But I still enjoyed this game a lot. Good job!
@pwnofprophecy hey thanks for cheking my little game out! hope you had a chill time
@jandourek im glad you liked it :smile: the sounds are just a hookah blurp for the jellyfart and that same sound reverbed and slowed for the ocean! and the bite is just me biting a cucumber :sweat_smile: hop you had a chill time that was my whole intent a game wich ends only when you stop! and doesnt challenge so you just kill time
@walk @hechi @herchey @jandourek @pixeltaku @nicmagnier hey all thank you all for playing my game. i will be playing your games as well. but i also do streams of playthroughs. @ https://www.twitch.tv/potkirland
if any of you wants me to not play the game bymyself and wants to join in please let me know so i dont play your game without you.
@potkirland thanks a ton! I'll try to stream later this week on my YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4N_yH80RiCzluGaSXH-CRA, I'll cover your game again!
Nice looking game o,o But very bored... It would be nice to add some obstacles or collectables, i think
The background was very nice I would have it as like a little pretty screensaver :D I feel like there could be more sound, but what was there was cute. The controls were too many though and also we couldn't figure out what some of them did. - MPGF (Mopi Girflfriend)
The gameplay was a little bland, but I think it has potential. The waves were super precise, which presents challenge, but the slow and clunky turning system prevented precision. Overall, good entry! it could just use some small adjustments to controls and readability in order to be a decently fun game :) - Mopi
Solid start. Now add some things you have to avoid and some things you have to collect to fill up your boost and it would be better. Good job : D
Big fan of the aesthetic, and love the jelly's face! Enjoyed playing around with the jet stream mechanic a bit and trying to use it more carefully.
I really liked the look of this! In all honesty I clicked on this exclusively because of the water texture :) Even so, the gameplay wasn't bad, and felt pretty smooth. I'm definitely interested to see the results if you plan to keep developing this game!
I love the cte jelly, but somehow I don't know how to escape from the shark since I have limited boost which seems not working, but I guess that's the theme for inevitable lmao. Nice Job!
This was really cute! I like how the eyes end up on the shark when the jellyfish is eaten. Stamina system to charge forward was good for some added depth. Managed to get 68K one round :grinning: It was definitely a very chill experience once you got a bit of a lead on the shark. Would have loved to see some fish friends swimming around too. The background looks great though, love the water effect!
nice graphic, and music! good job!
The turning could be a bit faster, but other than that, pretty polished, nice job
That was so cute! And then I jumped. Oh my gosh. >.<
I was watching the face and trying to go farther to see if there is more but I'm *really* bad at this game. I don't know if there's a face beyond o.o cause I didn't get much of a lead..
Also, you can fart bubbles! I love it haha.
hey @simpathey @uboretsky @greenpixel @marvis @ursagames @foursay @adam-gallina @rustymonky @phoenixofforce @mopifish thank you all for playing my game and leaving feedback and sorry for late reply.In the mean time I've played all your games also and have rebuilt my game for HTML using a different unrealbuild considering all your reviews.
- now its on html - with a faster shark chasing right behind you - and everything larger on screen. - also made the turn rate a lot faster (4x) so players can follow the heat wave properly.
thanks again for giving my game a go and leaving feedback. I didn't add any new features so i dont get disqualified :sweat_smile: but i realize it is needed
@otterfaelure thanks for playing my game you are the first one to play it after the HTML release and I hope you did play the html version :smile: I've actually never considered adding a face once you ditched the shark! thats a great idea. also hope you figured out how to just follow the hot water stream to go faster and had a fun time :smile:
Cute game! Imo, could have some music.
Nice concept, the graphic is simple but mesmerizing. You could improve this game in the future by adding some more music or mechanics.
Oh, and by the way, I managed to score around 14.000 points. :D
the jelly faces are hilarious xD
This was really nice! The 'fastlane' could be a bit more clearly indicated but once you know how to speed up it is easy to understand and a lot of fun!
Pretty cool game mechanic
Haha, I just loved the stream mechanics, and I liked a lot of the visuals and expressions of jelly fish. Well done :dog: chrome_BwzW3aRyew.png
Nice! The concept is similar to mine but the gameplay is totally different. Like it :). And these pastel graphics are great. Good job. Cheers!
I liked it. That being said I'm not sure jellyfish are known for their ability to outswim sharks XD
very cute game with its flow. nice graphics and ambient, give the mood for the game. good job!
Nice game :) I feld the flow and it was cool!
The game is fun to play, and I really like the shader and colour palette. I think adding some obstacles could make the game a lot more interesting. I love that you gave the jellyfish expressions >,<
Good graphics and game play! good job
Really fun game jam game! Cute and fun, simple and entertaining. Fits the theme perfectly too! Great job!
Nice one!
It seems that most of the critics I could make about the jam version were already addressed in the new html one. I liked the "organic" look, and loved the jellyfish emoticon faces. This was my score playing the html version:
jelly.png
(the jam version seems to be very hard to lose, I've even left the PC for a while to finish making coffee and it kept going past the 100k points)
wow @wendel-scardua nice to see you here! :smile: also thanks especially for giving a look at both version! well my initial thought was to make it just a chill screensaver kinda thing which ends only when you want it to end. hope you had a chill time lol :laughing:
@reneantunes @tornadopiggie @filipe-leal @pke1029 @oleg-bone @satacat @wren-erickson @piotrax @ulisses @jvdwijk @tulio @sacredyouma @eeaann9044 thank you all for playing my game. also sorry for late reply but i will be playing your games. i hope you all had a fun and chill time playing it. html version is a bit more punishing thou. i didn't add any new features since the jam didn't end yet and it's not a story driven thing so i wouldn't be able to address what was added clearly. but i do get all the feedback for my next game maybe. even update this one after the jam into a more playable piece. :smile: :thumbsup:
Cool game :) Like most players, I haven't read the description and how to play :) But already on the second game, I knew what to do :) Good job! :)
