Great work! I really enjoyed playing Nom, what a great game! From the get go, the art style is simple yet elegant, so is the game control. They're very intuitive and capture the feeling of a huge fish preying on small fishes very well. In real world, if big fish makes a bad maneuver, I guess all the small fish run away. In this game, I felt the same disappoint from breaking the streaks. Also, the game is well polished and the feedbacks of every player action feels right on point.
The only improvement I felt was from the streaks. Sometimes I would have just caught the fish from the airplane, and feel that I had played the game perfectly, only to see my streak breaks. It's a little unpredictable in that way. Audio also feels a little weaker comparing to all other aspects of the game, as it is neither serene, nor is it exciting. It is kind of in the middle, which I personally feel would help shaping the game's mood more if the audio has a bit more character.
I definitely learned a lot from playing Nom. Hopefully that one day I'd design a game as elegant as this. Thanks for the work!
I really appreciated how many creatures there are on screen and it was satisfying to nom them. 😁 I wish there was some kind of an end to the end, for example, if some bombs actually exploded not in food but in bullets.
Also, I would prefer if the controls were a bit different: W, S for forward, backwards, and A, D for turning. With momentum, it felt like I was playing a racing game with weird controls.
Still, it's a very polished and fun game with minimalist look and design.
Really nice polished game. It drove me crazy I always wanted to reach a higher multiplicator ! I reached x512 hehehe ! The graphics are neat, extremely simple yet super polished, with nice particles and good feedback choices. The only thing I regret is that the controls are not what you expect from a shark (or whatever swimming). I wanted, like @woona to have a turn feeling, especially because the shape of the character you control leads you to think that it will turn. Anyway, still a really good rating for me, on this addictive little game supported by really nice ambiant sounds.
Gah this is a diamond find. Wonderful work, very addictive and moreish! Lovely entry, well done. Top marks from me.
