This game blew me away. The sound, the art, everything. It was difficult at first, and it was very short. But I think those two things balance each other out, at least for a jam game. Amazing job!

This one is very fun to play! I found myself practically on the edge of my seat. The art style is fantastic, especially the monster design, and the increasing tempo of the music was a nice touch. Though I did find that it got a bit repetitive after a while. That gameplay was easy to get a handle on, and is pleasantly difficult. Awesome work!
I had a lot of fun with this! It's a bit addicting as well. I really love the simplistic style of the game, and the balance between keeping your pet happy and battle ready. I feel that the inventory should be larger, or allow you to discard items while in the dungeon, cause my inventory filled up pretty fast. But other then that, solid entry. Awesome job!
Awesome game! The art and music are very well down. And I love the concept of the game. My only problem was the complete lack of feedback when the miner is damaged. I could be defending one side, only to discover my miner was at half health because another enemy had appeared off screen. But, other then that, awesome work!
This game had me smiling the entire time. I simply love it. Everything goes so well together, the art, the sound, the bossy fish. Thoroughly enjoyed playing it.
THIS IS A JAM GAME!? I am extremely impressed with how polished this is. I love the art and the music. They work so well together. They create a very solid environment, and keeps up a feeling of suspense and tension. I especially like the concept of having to care for another creature, while at the same time using it as a shield. Which is something I find funny. The only problem I found, was the complete lack of progress tracking. I couldn't tell if I was going anywhere, even though I followed the road. But that's the only problem I noticed. Incredible job!
Very solid game! The controls feel responsive and well, in control. I really love the graphics, and the overall mood of the game. My only complainant would be that it's a bit to easy. I really enjoyed playing this. Great job!
@nerd-sanctuary Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed it.
@mrpiedpiper Thanks for playing! The game crashing was a problem throughout development. We did some last minute fixes, but I don't think we fully fixed the problem. Hopefully the bug will be ironed out in the post-jam version.
@team-on Thanks so much! We wanted to really hit home on those. And we're glad that you could compare it to such a great game!
@simonl We appreciate the kind words. Sorry about the crashing; we'll get that fixed for the post-jam version. We'll consider developing this further if we find time for it!
@kevin-h Sorry about the mouse sensitivity issue... We'll add a mouse sensitivity slider in the post jam version. The portal may have appeared but it's not the most obvious -- the tutorial was made in less than 2 hours haha! Glad you still enjoyed the game!
@step4 Appreciate it! We'll be adding a mouse sensitivity slider to the post jam version in a couple of weeks!
@pillitoka Thank you for playing!
@splitpainter Thank you!
@eduardogacn Thank you!
@emperor-eagle Thank for the feedback! We are happy you enjoyed it!
@danilo-freire @hiro-e Thanks for playing!
Incredible art! The animations are well done, and the characters are very cute. A simple game, but enjoyable nevertheless. One thing I would suggest though, would be to add more impact to player input: Screen shake when shooting, particles when collecting fish, a more dynamic camera, etc. Awesome job!
Very atmospheric, and very addicting. The gameplay is solid, and the lighting is perfect. Though I gotta say, the gun sound effect was a bit annoying. I would love to see an expanded version of this.
What an absolutely amazing shooter. Everything about this is pretty much perfect.
@riroriro That's alright. You use the left mouse button to fire. Sorry that wasn't clear.
@tero-pulkkinen Thank you so much!
@benbennett We noticed the bug this morning, a patch will be released to fix this. Also yes, the flamethrower is quite OP.
@tad That's odd. Try it now.
@alexunz Thank you! Yeah the game is pretty unforgiving, especially in the later rounds.
@tad Thank you so much! Glad it works now.
@neenaw Thank you so much! There were three of us working on the game, so we got to spread the tasks around.
@angelee Thank you! Yeah, we completely forgot about the fire collider.
@galse87 We are glad you enjoyed it! The Cola, Cheese (or chips :laughing:) and all the out snack drops, are the ammo pick ups. Sorry that wasn't clear.
@galse87 Yeah, people have been mistaking the chips for cheese :laughing:
@hadi-danial @tricky-fat-cat Apologies to both of you for the difficulty curve. Really struggled to get it right! And also, the 1HP thing was more because we ran out of time lol (if I'm being completely honest). But we'll just say it was because it was too... technically advanced... Our secret lol.
@skeffles Thanks for playing! Yeah, the difficulty is pretty difficult XD
Okay, now this is a good game. Everything is so smooth, and polished. The movement method is brilliant, and the gameplay is quite challenging. Though I think the difficulty progresses nicely with each level. Awesome game!
Stunning visuals, beautifully done transitions between levels and fantastic audio!!
Well done, this is awesome!
It would have been nice to see the price of what you were buying before you buy it, but other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed the engaging gameplay.
Keep it up!
Need to add a barrier to the end. Other than that, this is on it's way to beating Minecraft
Some of those "Beebs" were truly fantastic! Well done on this, I love the rhythm!
Fantastic visuals and it really fits the theme.
As another comment said, addicting and frustrating: perfect!
I felt a bit motion sick after a short time so couldn't play for too long but nice work nonetheless!
I am so glad to have been part of an emotional journey featuring a marvelous vegetable. The song was fantastic and I am glad I was able to finally leave the digestive system. Thank you.
@pseudohausen You can turn off camera sway/tilt in the settings under accessibility.
Thanks for the kind words, we're glad you enjoyed it! We might add more content in future. Thanks again!
@gamesbysaul Thank you Saul! We're glad you enjoyed it. Sorry about the jumping, we'll fix that in the post-jam patch!
That was a very awesome game. I thoroughly enjoyed playing through it but I do have a few things to suggest: - Prevent the sub from being caught on rocks/do damage when it hits rocks - Add depth speed decrease upgrade because it got WAYYYY too quick to keep up. - Maybe some kind of one use purchase that harvests all fish/destroys all rocks in the vicinity?
I got 3226 as my highscore. I expect to be put on the leaderboard.
This was a really awesome and so glad to see customisation as a feature! I would have liked the movement delay to be a little less because it was slightly off putting. Other than that, well done. The music, art, mood and enjoyment are all extremely good. Well done, keep it up!
