Good one! Really enjoyed it. Wish the ending had been a bit more interesting. But the way the mood is set is amazing, I love the objects you chose and the layout of his house is quite nightmarish. Overall flawlessly executed, especially considering it was just a weekend. Good job!
Good Work!! I absolutely love it. Everything about it. Good sound and art, good story/plot/vibe.. Perfect almost. The shooting element added So much to it. I love the environments/architecture stuff. Everything! The first person views were dope... I could go on and on. Only qualm I have is that it ended.
Continue it pls!!!
Loved this! Hilarious and it made me dizzy. quite addictive too!
I get the theme! You're not swatting them but killing them from beneath the surface. Made me feel really weird about mosquitos! Good job. Nice tune
This one is nice! Great mechanic, love how it fits the theme. Good music and art.
do a check for the sound before you play it to make sure it doesnt keep looping over itself like that!! collisions weren't great, but i liked it, awesome idea and actually quite scary once you start playing
Whoa!
I quite like this. The collection sounds are delicious, but I wish there was more to it.
nice music!
'Twas okay! would've at least liked some sound and was expecting some story. The description lured me in.
I like this alot! Makes me actually feel like a cat.. Cool music and graphics! Good work
This is alot of fun! Great sprites! I miss audio though.. but fantastic nonetheless!
Interesting mechanic! I'd like to see it explored further
our games kinda go hand-in-hand. excellent writing! i loved the routine. good work
Very clean, good presentation! Kinda tiring though, and the failure message is a bit condescending, works against the feeling of the game. Definitely made me smile, beautiful idea!
holy crap
Good presentation! Could've used some sounds, the rewind bit is nice but I couldn't figure out which elements fit the theme.
Great game, great idea, well done!! i think you could improve it by making each note in a melody shorter, as in a flurry of 4 notes, and then silence, then repeat, then silence, then repeat, so on and so forth. the long draw out notes made me just play the note i heard very slowly. it would be cool to "sing a song", quicker melodies, with a pause to let the brain digest it
This had me on edge. Loved the text.. good stuff
Good stuff. Love how the depth/darkness thing works. This is going to sound weird but I like how the shark died. Would've liked some sounds, that helps with awareness when it comes to enemies like the subs and stuff too. And when you get one of those creepy fish in the flashlight beam you hear a horror piano stab... you know
I liked this alot!! Good stuff
well put together game! I really enjoyed it. The walking was a bit nauseating. It would be nice if he returned to some kind of normal height when not moving, instead of stopping somewhere along the swing. I especially liked the environmental details and the sound, difficulty was spot on. Good job! PS there were some spelling/grammar mistakes. BUT SERIOUSLY I LOVED IT
I loved it! And I have to agree, the mouse scroll was a great idea. the day/night detail put a smile on my face!
Dude! Addictive, and could be greeeaat if fleshed out correctly :)
Nice one! I like everything about it except the screen when you die that says you are a shame. Other than that its really ghood
Thanks kivifreak, I made the update. Press enter to switch between windowed and fullscreen. The mac version starts windowed now for safe measure.
Thank you for playing and for the feedback, Vector and lyla! The bugs have been fixed, epilepsy warning accentuated in the notes, and an HTML port is in place now.
There's only one ending but there are a few ways to get to it, and a bunch of messages, some of which are hints about the story, but they're picked randomly so you probably won't see them on every playthrough.
Thanks for your feedback blockbot and Danman9914!
I agree that 33 is a huge amount of fish to catch. However, the sinking feeling in your stomach when told to catch another 33 is absolutely intentional. I hate to spoil anything, but Lloyd won't stop asking you for fish, especially if you keep going out there and getting them for him.
Who would?
We considered reducing that number, but if we did then maybe all of this wouldn't occur to the player in the same light, and force them to want to find another way through. Did you try actually clicking on the pack of BOSS cigarettes?
Let me also just say that you can play the whole game to the end without ever catching 33 fish (but you're probably still going to catch them on the first playthrough)
Nobody ever has to catch 66 fish to beat this game. the number is much < 66
Thanks for your feedback, Empyrealhell. Unfortunately I know what you're talking about a little too well. It would've been nice to add more interactions during fishing but we were low on time. To people going through comments before playing, once you have found a bottle, press the CTRL key to have 33 fish. I hid that secret in the text you may angrily skip :)
thanks for the feedback everybody! lyla, MunkeeBacon, iiechapman, Penguincat, Rabbits..., FrameMatt, blahoink, noom and King_Mew
Thanks for playing and the feedback jujule, poxpoxpox, ioboi, baboum and 2HitAdam!
aahahahahaha great game!! add a cheeky soundtrack, and boom! good work!
My favourite entry so far!! this one is excellent
man, that one tune is stuck in my head. its the 5th or 6th stage maybe? you know which one i'm talking about ;)
I used the loading time to make myself some tea. I love the vibe, polish or make more games like it in the future!
loved that intro!
I like it! The controls were a bit tricky initially, but i found it compelling nonetheless!
Fun game!
This is psychotic!
I just kept on playing it. highscore : 55459
Really good work!! This is excellent.
Tough Game! But good job
Good one! I wish there were some sounds and animations, but gameplay and concept are great and the silence almost made it more effective!
