Getting a 404 error to download your game.

@runningopenloop thank you, fixed!

runningopenloop 2025-04-08 07:51

Got it, thanks.

I liked the rounded corners...

LOOK AT THIS LITTLE FELLA. cubefiosh.png

but no you should REALLY put some screenshots in the page, at least the cover would do. It really helps to make people wanna play, especially with something like this LITTE FELLA this is honestly such a great game

@infecsean Hey! Oops, the screenshots got unlinked somehow... :D thank you so much!

dywanix 2025-04-09 14:57

very fun!

Fun game! I loved the feeling of diving and the fish designs. There's a bug where the fish often clip through the ground, but overall, it's an enjoyable and fun game!

I had some issues with the html version too, the textures didn't load correctly and the screen was cropped so I couldn't see the top of it very well (I couldn't see how much money I had)

@majomirez thanks for playing! Yeah the WebGL version is acting up, but working on it!

ollie-hall 2025-04-09 16:45

@majomirez WebGL is fixed!

Amazing game :O I love all the wiggly animations and goofy stuff 5 stars in humor for sure. Thank you for making this gem :)

Pretty addicting! I ended up getting that trophy :sweat_smile:. Looks and sounds really nice and polished. If I have one nitpick it would be I'd like some more feedback when you catch a fish, maybe a different sound or maybe some other visual effect.

ollie-hall 2025-04-10 17:04

@silkworm-sweatshop duuuuude you're right, we should totally add a hitmarker or something to make it extra satisfying! Thanks for playing, and good job getting the trophy haha!

This is very good

Really well executed for a jam game; tons of visual polish and I really appreciate the sense of humor and creativity in the upgrades on offer.

The merchant's head growing randomly caught me off guard

mrantoinest 2025-04-12 03:18

I really liked this game ! Especially the visuals and the different animations. The only problems is the fishs wants to hide from me by hiding through the walls... Really cool ! <3

dominic-graziano 2025-04-12 16:21

very well executed! i've seen games sell on PlayStation that feel less finished/polished :)

pretendcoding 2025-04-12 22:52

This was really fun! Played this for about 30 minutes, caught a lot of fish and trash!

the-stewarts 2025-04-13 13:27

The guy's head was pretty scary when it went big! I was just trying to sell some fish...

volkolak 2025-04-13 20:22

I played it with great pleasure, I liked the balance - you save up for new purchases quite quickly, you don't have time to get bored. The visuals and audio are super!

a0405u 2025-04-16 21:20

The vibes! Music is awesome!

hypersomnia 2025-04-17 23:26

Amazed by how you manage to produce such a complete game in limited days!!! The music fits with the vibe as well!

ollie-hall 2025-04-18 15:41

@volkolak Thank you! I think we managed to get the balance worked out ok - the trophy was $10k but we halved it last minute, good thing, otherwise it would have been a little boring! Glad you liked it :)

ollie-hall 2025-04-18 15:43

@hypersomnia appreciated! We spent most of our focus on the game loop first (then got excited about the shop) and the actual swimming level mostly came together in the last day. Not sure if I'd recommend that approach or not, but I agree and we're glad at how complete it feels as a loop

papaver 2025-04-24 22:52

Wow, great game, with so much content! I like the getting in and out of the water scene, and the swimming around is really fun! And it looks beautiful under water, and the different types of fish are also wonderful. Well done! :heart_eyes: Also, somehow I find it really funny to ring the bell before I jump in the word again, haha. :laughing:

The shop is awesome, with all the fun items to discover there. I bought all of it, and as a last thing also the trophy! :smile: Very polished! :clap:
