So cute! Love the sound effects :) I feel like I needed another type of ax to fight the bad guys but couldn't pick it up in the treasure areas so ended up running away instead XD

aaahahaha, what a great concept! love the taking over of other folks XD
you had me at the title \m/.
love the underwater sounds and enjoyed hunting for the notes. definitely re-playable!
everything about this game was a trip! love the inception idea, especially changing the pitch/speed of the music as you "go deeper". as a few others have said, took a few tries for me to get the hang of it as well but even figuring that part out was fun! great job!
love the graphics and mechanics, so fun!
i love puzzles, so i enjoyed doing those, but i think the roaming around the room feels too much when the puzzles are the main thing and some of them do take some time to complete. i also got stuck in the first room as a few others did and didnt realize i needed to drag the gray bar down to complete the circuit. would like to be able to rotate the tangrams 45 degrees instead of the smooth rotation, more like a tetris feel. i honestly was not a fan of the speaking sounds at the beginning, but take that with a grain of salt, as that's just personal preference on my part! cool concept!
I. Love. This.
so fun! smooth play, love the idea of satellite resource management XD. would love to see an animation for "failure" when resources run out or you run into an asteriod
love the graphics! Agree with some of the other comments, some variation in the fish/sharks would be cool, and maybe a slight darkening of the water as you go deeper. To be honest, I may have not gotten deep enough to notice that :. It did take me a few restarts to get the keyboard working for some reason, but on try 3 I was gold. Took a bit to get used to moving around to find more fish to shoot XD. I noticed even though we could see the fish a while off, they didn't take damage until they were closer (or at least the health bar didn't show up until then. The sounds were great! would love to have some light music in the background. Nice work!!
@mrtroy @supergamersgames @celtico @mika314 @ohmikron @southpawdevelopment @leyamez @jesse-j-jones @maximegammaitoni @whysguy52 @kenlee @kr0s @peculiarcarrot @kylethecoder Thanks for the feedback and encouragement all! We bit off a bit more than we could chew for our first game and definitely have plans to continue outside of LD48! We're looking forward to our post mortem later this week. We had a great time trying to figure out even getting this much out and are excited to build it to our original vision. We'll see you (with more managed expectations) at LD49 (or maybe LD50).
@aaranos @lesinvisible @jaiden-gerig thanks so much for the kind words! Yeah, time was definitely a factor as our ambitions were a bit high, and we ended up descoping/pivoting a lot during the jam XD. Our renders were in blender and our art "department" of 2 was amazing! We are definitely going to build it out to our original vision and will be managing our expectations during the next Jam a little more realistically :D
@ltorrestailfer @someone @noobdude Thanks for the encouragement and feedback! Yeah, our post-mortem is tonight and we're excited to see where we can improve next time with time management and expectations but definitely plan to continue building this idea out to see where we can take it!
super cool concept, although as a few others stated, it was hard to see when my interaction with the bees affected the gameplay. Also would love to see a bit more distinction across the bees as they were very similar and the color outlines were hard to distinguish. can't wait to see this game in it's full glory!! great work!
this is fun! agree with @wallkysek a simple music loop would be a fun addition. or maybe sounds to go with when you reach the next level/color?
Haha so fun! love the addition of the sounds and music :)
