one of the best game jam games i've played, was having fun the whole time and laughing at the mechanics and the boat sinking, felt fluid to play and i loved the balance of fending off the fish , repairing the boat and scooping out the water, the boss did get a bit frustrating because of how slow it went, and the feedback on the spear felt off, i feel like you could have gotten away with making the boss attack stun long enough for them to take 2 hits more commonly or something like that to help speed up the fight, in love with the project regardless, a perfect little jam game

Great mechanics, felt very responsive and fun to play, although feels unforgivably challenging by level 3 ^_^ I wasn't able to get any further but this is a very well executed concept!

The Day Of The JellyfishIt's made by Penzilla on itch.io. You can find it here: https://penzilla.itch.io/protagonist-character
Fun game! I like the water physics inside the boat and really enjoyed the gameplay loop.

Fire FightMight be the most original game I've played this jam so far, VERY cool!
I think level 3 might be a little too hard, but I eventually managed to beat it.
There's a ?bug? where the fish will sometimes get on top of your boat and then it automatically sinks which is a little annoying but other than that very impressive game!
Amazing job!

Maggie’s HarvestVery nice concept and very good of Physics in Unity. Like the little details like the water that starts feeling up the boat from the top when it loose buoyancy.

The Day Of The JellyfishVery cool game! I get stuck on level 3... I died when I only have to survive for 3 seconds. Too many piranhas for me! If you want, you can play my game here: https://itch.io/jam/-pixel-game-jam-2024/rate/2718966

Flood NinjaSimple concept but such good ideas with the different levels! Very cute, and pretty hard too when it got to the end.
Only issue I have are the controls, I wish it was just a little bit less intuitive as my toon kept sliding forward when I didn't want to, and I wish there was a jump function, it would help with bailing the water out and getting to another area of the boat there were two holes in the boat beside me.
Overall, very good!
