Cute game! I liked all the different creatures :)
I loved all the fish, and really appreciated the attention to detail that went into illustrating and animating them! I did notice that most of the time I was able to swim/jump infinitely, but sometimes I couldn't, and I wasn't sure why. Overall, though, really lovely job on this!
It's fun to do somersaults with the lobster! The graphics are great.
Love the concept XD. It's so well executed too. The art is kinda amazing for a game jam and the gameplay is simple but suits the overall goal well.
Such lovely and coherent design! Having the shrimp rotating really added something to make it more unique. :sparkles: It would be real nice if the shrimp jump/thrust was in the direction of the shrimp. I also felt that when going down I wanted the camera to look down also, to better see where I was going.
Really great entry! the graphics are awesome and multiple levels is really impressive. idk why, but i found it hard to do so much at once with my left hand. adding mouse controls or arrow keys to do rotation or movement would've helped me for sure.
Very cute and addicting game! 🦞🐠 I liked the quality creatures and great detail in the graphics! 🎨 The fish animations are impressive and doing somersaults with the lobster is just fun! 😄 Simple but perfect for the game controls, making it feel well thought out. Great job! 👍
It is a good little game! I really like the art style and the idea of the game!
This is really fun! I like being able to make the shrimp do flips! The art is really nice, and the music doesn't feel too repetitive, it's a nice entry!
I actually really like this. It's so fun swimming around all shrimpily-like! I kept trying to swim hard enough to escape the tank! It would be nice if I could see below me more easily when I'm descending again. Overall, a really nice take on the theme!
Damnn the music is funkyyyyy. Artwork is super cute, the design of the creatures and the background aquariums are amazing. I particularly like the halloween level. Game does feel like being in an aquarium. I also like how the other creatures do not damage the player, just jostle them around. Which makes the game nice and chill. I do wish there was a bit more complexity to the game than simply swimming around collecting algea.
The game is really fun! Only, for some reason the levels would end when I still had algae, coins, and a lot of time left. It's mainly sad because the game was fun and I wanted to complete the levels (maybe I was doing something wrong?). Great job, nailed the whimsy of what it would be like to swim around a cute aquarium!
That was a fun and quirky experience ;) Took me a while to understand i could go up by repeatedly pressing the space bar, and that hitting other creatures would make me fall to the floor of the aquarium. I like the graphcis and the sounds, nice mood!
Yay, another shrimpy game!
Really nice! feels like something that could turn into a cozy relaxing game! Art is great! good job
Ahhhh, this is fun!! It reminds me of those hilarious games where the playable character ragdolls around. I really like this concept!
Oh my, the animation of that shrimp is delightful! The playful background music adds a humorous flair to the overall experience. My only issue here is that using the WASD and space bar controls is quite challenging for a left-handed person like me, who uses the mouse with the left hand. I lack the skill, let's say, to control it like that. Perhaps including both WASD and IJKL keys could solve the problem because then I could use my right hand for controls. 😊
Nice shrimp. Fun bouncing the shrimp around the tank. The fish look really good but I did yell at them a lot.
Cool idea! Super!
a cute game, interesting idea!!
This game really stood out to me for its visuals and gameplay offered. Really excellent game. Well done!
Cute, I don't understand when it ends, but pretty chill!
A long time ago I had some pet shrimp. So, naturally I had to check this out. Bouncing around, doing flips and - what I really liked and which made it pretty chill - not getting damaged by the other creatures was a lot of fun.
Had some tiny problems with the controls every once in a while but it would always sort itself out again, so I could immediately go back to straight up vibing
Music is pretty funky :D
I had a lovely little time with this! It's a good shrimple game. I thought at first the other sealife were obstacles, but once I bounced off of the crab harmlessly I just spun around eatin' up all the algae. The art is very cute! A little more challenge would have been nice but I think this works as just a nice little toy.
Played for a bit, I enjoyed the art and the music.
The control felt a bit clunky, sometimes the shrimp would stop getting up and would drown... Having the controls on the same block ( all arrows keys) would have felt more natural I think.
It feels like the end stage arrive too soon (There was a least one algae left) I thought a fish had made me lost, but when I played the level again my score (coins) was still there.
I liked the bonus levels, just for the sheer enjoyment of collecting coins!
Very cute game! Really like the music but at rare occasions it would play a very harsh sound. Otherwise great entry :)
This reminded me a little of that dolphin game Ecco, did not like the controls [I pretty much gave up after the first round] :sweat_smile: The art is coherent, it was simple and clear which I liked. I like to be able to play on fullscreen! I think to make this game better, some sort of obstacle might have been nice in the first level that makes you wary of moving and not just spamming the spacebar, as someone mentioned the arrow keys might have been nicer and such.
The graphics and the music are cool, but it's quite confusing how the shrimp rotates. A good entry.
Fun game! Love the art style!
interesting concept and cute art style! nicely done
