It's a cute game with nice gameplay! I like all the creature art. The first time I started I was surrounded by two other jellyfish so I had no idea what character I was lol. I actually quiet liked it that the other fish just pushed you or blocked you instead of it being a game over event. One thing I found was that the sound played when eating krill was a little to loud/annoying.
Visually quite impressive, and the deep sea atmosphere is also upheld really well. The audio is also fitting and well done. I do wish I had more tools to avoid or combat the fish. Most of the times I died was because it came up behind me and there was nothing I could do about it.
This is a cool concept and well done for just one person, great work! I did notice that I could still progress to the next level after a gameover, so got to explore more even though green boss thing took me out pretty quickly lol
The game looks and sounds amazing! I was definitely lost as to what I was supposed to be doing exactly, and I'm not even sure why I lost in the end.
Really great submission! The eerie atmosphere is well captured, and the graphics are fantastic. I also really like the concept of having to balance yourself against the wind. The controls seemed a bit clunky though and a few, what I assume are, bugs prevented me from progressing very far. Every time I turned to either side my character would walk forward for a few steps without my input which killed me a couple times, and I sometimes ended up out of proper alignment with the walk-way so the posts would push me off when I reached them. The game kept prompting me to run when the creature arrived, but I couldn't seem to find any sprint button to go faster than the creature; it usually caught me within 2 seconds. Still a really high quality game overall!
I like how chill this game is :) The hand-drawn art style is very nice too. I managed to find all the fish, though one of their pictures was solid black lol. Only things I had issues with was I couldn't figure out how to stop using stations at first (I think reusing "F" would have been fine), and it wasn't immediately clear that you could upgrade the submarine, as I only discovered that by accident. Great work!
Very nice! Simple and easy to understand, but it has a little strategy to keep it engaging. The graphics are very nice and you conveyed the theme and tone very well!
