Creative idea. I would be nice if there was a larger version of the window to play on a computer though

I really like the style. I kinda feel like monster encounters should be more frequent though.
Very well done. Looks quite polished and was pretty fun to play too.
Really enjoyed it. Great work. Clever play on the theme too
Cool idea but it's really hard. I think it could benefit from an easy mode where the game speed was halved or something
I definitely liked the mood of the game. The boss fight is super difficult :P
Fun game. Cheesy. But you missed a blatant opportunity to name the game "The creature from the DEEP must feed his sheep."
Nice retro shooter. I enjoyed the sound effects :P
I'm jealous of your team's artistic talent. Amazing
Interesting concept. The clicking seemed a little buggy at times but it was still playable. If you're thinking of making any improvements to the game, I would suggest adding some sort of "lock-in" button where the player can finalize their selection and be offered some flavour text on how their character lived their life.
Seems very portal inspired. The mechanic was really confusing and I'm still not sure if I fully understand what it does. I think getting rid of the charge bar would help as then the player would be allowed to experiment more freely with the two abilities available
Cool art and good graphics. Excellent music, possibly my favorite part of the game. I couldn't see the controls on my screen though, was I missing something? I feel like I'm supposed to do something with the torch at the beginning. Couldn't seem to get past the wisps.
decent game, but after a few minutes I began to ask myself "where is the point of the game?" Aside from eating fish and getting larger, and potentially purchasing all upgrades (which is all very easy to do) I didn't feel much motivation to continue playing after dying
Really funny game. Great music
Good feel, though the controls are certainly tricky to master. Excellent animations and graphics. Enjoyed the 3D side-scroller format.
very colourfull. Looks nice. The climb control was a little irritating as it was difficult to unstick yourself
liked the sound effects. I agree with the previous two comments, some additional stuff would be cool
Fun game. Was there really any point to buying the "Sturdy" tower section? I got through just fine with only arrows and cannons. Those buzz-saw enemies packed a punch, I constantly found myself checking over my shoulder to make sure I wasn't going to get surrounded by them.
I liked the graphical style however you may want to try and decrease the contrast and slightly lighten the parts of objects you don't collide with to make it clear to the player what they can jump on to.
This was amazing. Super cool idea to use a mobile as a controller
Really creative idea. Sadly I had to try and play as both sharks because no one else was around. I could see this being really fun to play with someone else
You may want to post a non compressed copy of your web build. That way people won't have to download anything to play.
Liked the graphics style but I found the controls a bit frustrating
I'm getting the same error as Deozaan when I try to run the game as well
Nice mechanics. The fact that it's a spork makes me laugh.
Nice art style but I found the UI kind of confusing.
Hi everyone, Tim here. (I'm voiced the ship AI and was the lead music producer.) Thank you all for your feedback and kind comments. Because of this, I have made the in-game music available for download on my SoundCloud page. Since SoundCloud only limits free users like myself to only 100 downloads per track, please grab a copy for yourself and save some for the others.
Thanks again!
Tim

Oops, I meant to write: "I voiced the ship AI..."!
I liked the texturing on the ocean floor. Really impressive work for 24 hours.
