Finally got around to this, and haha, this was absolutely amazing, Zedd! Loved all of the comedic aspects - it was a really great reflection on your personality and it's all presented really nicely. I especially loved the polish of how the Kraken reddened over time, and it got me thinking about a mechanic where you become stronger with the less health you have, but that's an entirely different subject. Well done! :D
Wow... wow!!! This game is absolutely incredible - I got so sidetracked playing it, haha. The growth of upgrades over time felt a bit slow but it helped me realise what was actually going on within the game rather than unknowingly blasting through it. There has been a lot of though and effort put into this project and I'd really like it to do well! Awesome work! :D
This is a really nice entry! It has some really cool graphical features which definitely helped in setting the scene for the space the game was set in! I saw that a lot of detail was added into every element of the world to make it more immersive, so massive well done!
It was a little slow to begin with, and coupled with the lack of SFX and music tracks, it made it feel a bit empty, but those are only small things which I'm sure you could easily incorporate given some more time! Awesome entry! :D
Very nice movement and presentation - I think you and your friends have created something really charming with fluidity, engagement, and passion! All of those elements work super well together and, even though it's a demo, has come out really polished! Massive congrats on what you've produced here - it's very inspiring! :D
Really cool stuff, Ziggy, I really enjoyed your project! I loved how relaxing and fitting the music was and the movement felt great! Awesome work overall! :D
This was really nice! A very reflective, abstract experience accompanied by great tastes in mood and audio design! :D
Wow, everything here works so great with one another! The mood and atmosphere generated by the graphics and audio really went a long way, and the gameplay felt super fluid, too! Awesome work on this entry! :D
I liked the game mechanics, but they were a bit tricky to handle! I definitely understand the time crunch, so well done on your efforts! :D
Bit late here, but I really liked the project! Definitely loved the charm it had, and as others have mentioned, a bit faster gameplay would have been nice! :D
@ehtd and @elsombrero - Thank you so much for the nice feedback! I really appreciate it! :D
Hey there, everyone! Thanks so much for checking out my entry! I've made a devlog video on how I made it and it would be awesome if you could check it out! :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQcsJRSGbwE
Thank you so much for your super nice review, @fdk! I agree with you, some more obstacle types would have been really great to implement, but as you've said, it was only 48 hours, so I was happy to get something in at all! :D
@judgezedd Hey! Thanks so much for checking out my project, haha, and thank you for your super nice feedback! It really means a lot coming from a *certified* game design analyser person ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Thanks! :D
Thanks for the nice review, @lighty-the-light! :D

Thanks heaps, @gramoner! Broccoli all the wayyy! :P
Thanks so much, @rhoff95! Really great feedback here, and I agree, some more obstacle/enemy types connected to the theme would have been great - thank you! :D
Thank you for your feedback, @greenphox and @elastiskalinjen! I definitely wanted to include some sort of tutorial, but I got caught up with time (you know how it is xD). I'll be sure to focus on the player experience in future projects of mine ^^
These are some great ideas, @xlores-liang! I would have loved to make a boss fight for this project, and if I pick up this project again in the future, I might see how that would pan out :D
Cheers, @rex-tv and @gomango99! <3
