I really liked this! The graphics were cute and the controls were super fun to play with. I liked to grapple :D especially because it was a squid! and I got the treasure!! Yay!! Great job!

Such a cool concept. Loved it!

very nice game! the animations are really good (loved the electrocution), and the grapple mechanics are really good! Really good work overall! i found a really fast way to get the treasure, but if it was located deeper and there was some air bubbles to breath at some places under the water, it could be even better. but it's a jam game, so i'll stay with : very nice game! :D

Hi, A bit short but the challenge is there and it is extremely effective. Not bad the anchor trick. I think this is the kind of game we are looking for. I'd like to see an extra component with the other mouse click to put more holds. Keep going like this. Great Job

@coolbeens @karataskn20 @amarokczukay @aune @triangle-point The original scope was a bit larger and included some of your suggestions, but things kept interrupting us over the weekend. Probably the best thing was how we were able to not panic and reduce the scope to at least present something playable!

We wanted some simple things like pressing R to reset the whole round, a little bit better art on the environment and sea life (happy with the player and squid), also to see the player be able to stay above water and not run the timer.

The big idea was to have several checkpoints (underwater air caves) with a series of puzzles in between.

Anyway, thanks all, glad to see many have acquired the One Piece! :smile:

I had fun with this game especially when the player gets electrocuted XD I really like that you guys added that anchor trick and speedy fish trick because it is very rewarding if you discover it. Great game!

Fun game. A handful of fun things to interact with and cute graphics. Fun to explore and try to find the quickest ways around the map. Bonus points for squid based grappling hook :squid:

I messed around with the anchor way longer than I'm willing to admit

Great game!

Diving and finding treasure sounds nice. But somehow, taking the surface taxi fish was way more fun and satisfying than it looks like :D.

Great entry.

Such a cute little game. Gameplay mechanic is very fun to use :D

Great game, the grapple works very well! kkkk The first time i was electrified I laughed a lot! Good job!

Really fun, I wish I had more time because I'm so slow.

Perhaps it is worth developing some more puzzles, adding items that help the passage and something like a few treasures. In general, a very fast and cool game,

Fun short game. At first was a bit frustrating and WASD wasn't working but refreshing the page fixed it. I enjoyed the challenge and grapple was fun! Well done

Loved the grapple mechanic, I wished there were air bubbles or something underwater so you could go deeper and deepr, but thats not necessarily the theme this time around! Pretty fun

candlesan 2022-10-07 03:41

Quite challenging! I like the cute use of a squid as the thematic wrapper for a "grappling hook". It took me quite a few tries to finally got it but that made it all the more satisfying when I finally got the treasure.

Would be fun to see additional levels, each of which could be complete in 10 seconds.

Really loved the artstyle, couldn't make it 'til the end since I didn't know whether or not I was able to get some air some other way, or if there was a faster way of getting down. It would've been nice if I the breath timer was always 10 seconds when you were on the surface, made me wait a lot of times just so I could get a good diving attempt.

Oh, those electric fish were infuriating xD Then i nearly got it and I hooked that damn shark!

adriangray 2022-10-16 18:45

Interesting concept, a bit hard to get through the electro eels ). Didn't took long to understand the base mechanics of using fish/envioranmetn to move around. Nice little game overall!
