Interesting concept. If the earthquake sequence at the end wasn't so long it wouldn't be so frustrating to lose! The graphics look great though and the earthquake animation does look awesome. It's a bit tough to focus on hitting the worm, platforming and dodging rocks all at the same time, but I enjoyed it. I did manage to get a 3.95 on my last attempt. Good job!
Solid game! Reminds me of snake in some ways. It was an interesting concept and it was well executed. The drilling nose got annoying at times, but I otherwise have no complaints!
The lighting effects and the atmosphere were great. I like how it took a few seconds for your eyes to adjust to darkness after you turned off your flashlight or shot the gun. Well done!
Great game! It did crash for me though when I threw an axe while really close to an enemy in the second area.
I liked the graphics. It definitely slowed down as they got lower though.
Wow, great game. The only problems I had was sometimes it would generate a world where I couldn't get back up to the shop since there was just a large air pocket below the entrance. The digging sounds were also very loud and harsh compared to the music. But it looked great, the music was awesome and it was fun and addictive. Awesome job!
Couldn't run it either. Same error as Figglewatts.
Wow. Masterfully done. The most well executed entry I've seen by far. Just looking at something like this reminds me of how far I have to go. Bravo sir!
Wow interesting game and awesome graphics! It's amazing you made it look so good while keeping it simple. Good job!
Awesome entry! The first time the jump scare made me laugh to be honest, but I was far more careful once I realized they took hp! Great job setting the mood. The audio really added a lot.
Incredibly well done! It looks great, the sound is perfect and fits the games, and it also has enough content. Awesome job!
I noticed a lot of the fish couldn't be caught. As far as I know there is no win condition, and I think something as simple as some basic audio would have added a lot to the game. If you made it in an hour and a half though, that's incredible! Far more than I had at that point. Good job!
The controls were interesting. The audio was good, but I felt a little bit lost and was wondering what exactly the objective was until I absorbed the first jellyfish.
I like it! It's an interesting concept. The movement was a bit finicky at times, but it's not too much of a hindrance. Congratulations on your first Ludum Dare submission!
I liked it! It's a different twist on the theme than I've seen in other entries.
Simply amazing. Fun to play. I made it to round 15 where the gigaworm appeared before finally being taken out. it was a ton of fun. Well done!
Interesting idea and crazy hard! My complaint with the difficulty is that there is a very very small window to do the mid-air switches needed to get to some platforms. They aren't impossible, but I think lowering the gravity just a bit would have made the difficulty more appropriate. Good job though!
Awesome job! It looks and sounds great. One thing that bothered me with the controls was that you would begin controlling fish nowhere near your school and then the camera would get split between the school and the single fish on the other side of a wall making it easy to run into obstacles. Awesome job otherwise!
Thanks! I didn't intend to make it so difficult, but when I went to play test, it was really too late to change the level design. It is definitely beatable though! You just have to be quick and creative.
For those who couldn't run it, I suppose make sure your java is up to date?
There was a typo where the cool-down of the grappling hook was dependent of FPS for no good reason making the game incredibly hard when it was below the FPS cap. I fixed that and updated the download links. It should be a bit more forgiving now.
Wow, well done. The atmosphere was spot on and something like echolocation was a very interesting way to go about navigation.
It looks great! The game can get a bit repetitive pretty quickly, but the graphics look good and it plays smoothly. Great job!
Awesome atmosphere and ambiance!
Simple, challenging and fun. Well done! Some parts seem impossible, but I liked it.
Looks great, musics nice. A little buggy... I found crafting with the red ore didn't consume it so you only needed 7 total and you could make a pickaxe, sword and armor. A few times I inexplicably couldn't break certain blocks and had to dig around them. Overall though, very well done. The lighting was a nice touch.
