It was a really cute game. The controls were a bit difficult to understand at first but once I got it I was fine. The graphics are also really well done and look very good. Personally the robot was a bit slow but the could've just been your preference of what you want. But great job.
Really interesting gameplay. I liked the 2D/3D style that the game had and dealing with falling over was definitely a challenge, but a fun added twist.
It was a really enjoyable game, there is just a bit too much going on for the player to focus on, but the graphics were great and the idea behind it was pretty creative.
The game was very entertaining to play and I really enjoyed the sound effects. The controls sometimes messed me up, but overall very fun.
I enjoyed the challenge, I like puzzle games so this was a welcomed surprise
I liked the idea behind the game, it was pretty creative. The speed was at some times frustrating but that might have been the idea for it. I also liked the art style chosen.
Very well made, the difficulty curve was well done
It could probably benefit from some music or something, but it was a well made game
I was able to glitch through the walls when I played it and the instructions were moderately unclear. It was an interesting idea for a game though. Good job
I loved the mechanics of the game. It was difficult without being overly frustrating. My main fault was that I would completely forget about energy at the start of games and have to restart because of that. Overall, great job! The idea behind it was very fun to play.
The one thing I should mention is that there is a bug if you press 2 root growing keys at once (like pressing D and S at the same time) there would be 2 roots that grow from the starting point.
The music and graphics remined me of an 80's arcade style game. I liked the different puzzles that you added, they showed off the new game mechanics in an easy to understand way for the player. I didn't understand what control did at first, but I got the hang of it more as I player. Well done!
I accidentally entered the boss fight before I got the message from the old man (learned about him from second playthrough) and was slightly confused why the end was so early. But I loved the fighting style for the game and enjoyed the music throughout. I could tell a lot of thought was put into this!
An interesting game with amazing visuals. It was enjoyable, but through a multiple playthroughs (when I died lol) I found myself wishing I could skip the cut scenes. Other than that, it's a very solid game.
I also accidentally found the hidden ending before I read what you wrote about it when I tried to avoid crashing into the wall of clouds lol.
It's a pretty neat game, short and simple. All I would really add would maybe be another level or 2, or maybe a difficulty modifier. I liked the idea of it and the graphics fit the game very nicely.
@foopy It's never explicitly said, but when you upgrade your hook the success rate increases as well. I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
I guess the challenge was reaching the fish rather than having them have a smart AI lol.
@quinn-patrick @shubart
Thank you for pointing that out! After another playtest or two I realized the player could not click on a fish twice. The updated version should be posted soon for anyone interested!
Also quinn-patrick, thank you for the detailed response. The success rate is actually an upgradable aspect (though was never explicitly said, there will soon be an update for it) so that is why you could not catch the fish every time. I'm glad you liked the music! I wrote it myself :smile:
I had a lot of fun with the sound effects, I thought they fit very nicely. The game was surprisingly very fun as I found myself wanting to continue on to get the dolphin class submarine. Very nicely done overall.
I liked how the player was constrained to only using forwards and backwards to move. Overall, it was a very enjoyable game. My only suggestion is (if you have time) to use a button asset another than unity's lol.
I also really enjoyed the look of the fish.
