It’s scary! The game loop and gameplay are simple and intuitive. Really great. You quickly grasp how things work and can just sit back and enjoy the experience. The graphics are pleasing—that style is quite trendy right now! :)
what an atmosphere, this is so cool ! congratulation
Great game. I love the atmosphere. I love that you can look at all of your photos of the fish at the end. It was a little easy but still fun.
Love the digetic design (very satisfying) and overall visuals. Very atmospheric. I wish there was more to it.
Great atmosphere, big scary fishy. Cool music at the end of the tunnel Pretty close call here lmaoScreenshot From 2026-10-20 00-07-12.png

It was fun! Kept my attention to keep playing till end! And the pictures i took were cute :) GJ!
Super fun one, highly recommend!
Very coooool atmosphere. And the ending is so relaxing but creepy at the same moment. I kept turning back till the end
Very nice ! My favourite game so far. Ambience is great, gameplay is fun. My wife cried at the end with the music. Game is funny too ! I had a fish start looking at me funny, punched him in the gullet and grinded him up.
Really cool game with an amazing atmosphere! I spent the whole boat ride on edge, constantly expecting something to eat me. Very atmospheric and stylish — the pixel art and the sounds really sell the tension. Great job!
lol, love the different mechanics to keep you frantically moving around and engaged while worried about the monster lurking behind you. Love the short and sweet intro tutorial to get you in and going fast. Great elevator pitch for a game and instant hook.
The sound design and pixel art really sell the panic of being out there. Just having a camera and a grinder makes the whole premise feel so wonderfully gritty. Loved how quickly I got hooked into that terrifying chase.
Reaaaally cool, thats my type of games : ) Also congrats for doing it in 3 days! Great mechanics, well polished, gj! See you on the next one chrome_9mGSrBY2dw.jpg
So many amazing entries with diegetic interface in this ludumdare, here is one of these.
Nice little game, it really manages to deliver the "mood" with so little. Nice work;
Very nice :-)
Oh man, this is so good! The atmosphere is genuinely creepy and tense. By the third attempt everything clicks and you feel right at home, just like a fish in water. Finished it and had a great time!
I liked the atmosphere and the overall concept, but—for me personally—it’s quite exhausting to constantly catch fish and then frantically process them in order to keep moving.
That said, I think the gameplay might feel a bit simpler if all the controls were grouped on one side.
Overall, it’s super—better than most things I’ve seen. I like it.
A really cool and fun game! It oozes style and atmosphere! I like that it has a tutorial! I liked how the interactions are on opposite sides of the boat! Really adds to the tension and atomosphere! And thanks for letting us pick up fish that we have already passed.
_(sorry to plug, it seems we kinda had a similiar approach to the player character. in our game with ps1 graphics you also control someone operating machines from a stationary perspective looking around and by pressing them)_
I cried over the big fish that ate me at the end 😭😭
Some background creepy music would surely add to the horror atmosphere of this (or other SFX, such as fish swimming, etc.).
Vkusno. Got jump scared by the fish when i was not looking, mb it lack some additional sounds to warn the player, because after that i was scared shitless and was constantly looking left and right to not get eaten again... ooooohhh... maybe that was the plan all along...)) But for real, very enjoyable game, great job. Zhdu ne dozhdus vidos, sos, videosos)).
I love this game! Idea of always moving to destination and refilling resources for it is soomething similliar to mine. But honestly yours is so much more polished and creepy! That fat ass fish keeping you in suspence all the time, you achieved this emotion perfectly. Photo mechanics reminded me of that itch io game about speleology where layer needs to crawl tight caves. Camera seemt a bit too restricting. But overall thats a really great game for a jam!
Really fun experience and great photos, the teeth are well brushed. The gloomy atmosphere is here, the art and animations are polished. There's not much more to say. I really enjoyed this little game. The only thing would be that the route was slightly too long in my opinion, but honestly I don't consider it in my rating ! Congrats for your work !
PS : Oh and the SFX 5/5, it works well !
This big fish was really loud and scary. I didn't want to look ahead only because of it, so I tried to catch little fish as fast as I could. Narrow way also made me nervous. But there's no such thing as too much fish, so that was fun gaming experience. Thank you for your hard work!
Really cool! I’m a big fan of games like this. A few simple mechanics come together to create great gameplay! And it’s all complemented by fantastic art that sets just the right atmosphere.
Love the digetic design (very satisfying) and overall visuals. Very atmospheric.
Great atmosphere, and solid technical effort! I'm definitely not very good at it, but the intense feel kept pushing me forward. I really like the combination of tasks and mechanics, and they fit the theme nicely. Great entry!
Very cool game, it's perfect, I can't really offer any criticism, except maybe that some players may find that the mouse motion controls a bit too hard. Congrats!
This was kinda stressful ngl, cool little game tho
This was a very creative and well thought out fish engineering! A simple funny idea that made me feel at the edge of my seat. It was just a lil hard to tell if I was pulling the motor correctly but highly recommended!
Nice horror game! Scared the absolute shit out of me, holy fuck!
Very fun setup! The introduction was simply great, and the gameplay was challenging enough to stay interesting until the end, even though the last leg of the journey got slightly tedious. Nonetheless the vibes are definitely there, and it was a really nice touch to hear the music fade in towards the end. Having to switch between the two views kept the tension up nicely throughout the whole experience. Great work!
