I like the visuals from intro, these are really nicely made in this colorful style, also the 3D graphics in the game are so nice, they look so proffesional, the 8 direction movement is nice way to control, also the bullets from enemy are making cool patterns and are fun, I rate graphics, control, fun and music on top but all is cool really, also, if you have some time, please, rate my game too, thanks!!!

This game has a lot of charm to it! Loved the little story at the beginning, and the underwater effects in the fights looked great. It was awesome that you could use the bosses' shadows to figure out where they were even when they were off screen! Controls felt good too. Definitely agree with the other comments that a health bar would help a lot since it was difficult to tell how far you got in the fight. But overall, really liked the game! :)

That fishe do be twiste. Good game :D Could use a health bar though

I love the humor of this game, I'm totally down with a fish accepting a deal from aliens.  The visuals and music are nice, and the controls feel responsive!

Two pieces of feedback from me are this game definitely needs a health bar for the boss and player so you can measure your progress.  Other than that I would look into either getting another hit sound effect or two, or modulating the pitch of the hit effect a little bit each time it plays, ideally both.  When you have a sound effect that plays often, if you change it's pitch just a little bit each time the players ear doesn't get so used to it and it doesn't seem repetitive.  I like to have my sounds pick a random pitch from 0.95 to 1.05 to start and adjust from there until it feels good for the sound. 

Awesome job!

Fishe go twiste! Fun game! Well done!!

The simple fact that it's a fish... catches attention. I found it really fun to play, especially with the very precise controls

Loved the death animation for the crab, but that's as far as I could get. It's a hard life being a fish.

The fish stares into your soul. Mr Crab is cool

the fishe does twiste. i wasnt able to get controller to work properly, and the crab was too difficult for me on keyboard

I can tell a very cool guy made this game, I heard from a Fishe he might be named Gonzario. The game is pretty goofy, and I enjoyed the riveting story of our fishe friend and his other fishe and crabby friends who were being turned evil.

I think it says a lot about our society, how corporations dump chemicals, waste into the sea and how these dumps affect our silly little fishy friends. I think this game in a way is a commentary of how mega corporations break not just our environments but our bonds with our friends. Greed divides us, and separates us.

Go out to your local beach and river and please clean your surroundings, for the sake of our beloved Twiste Fishe.

this was the intended message but unfortunately this game was censored by state organizations

I love the plot! Being a fish is fun :) The controls were a bit weird and definitely some UI for the boss, as others have mentioned, as well as some HUD interface would be helpful. Music was super chill. Well done.

Would love it if you can play and review my submission as well, thanks!

I love the aesthetics, visuals, intro and music! It was fun to play. I think the game could have benefited from some kind of UI indicator of where the boss is, so you could have a better idea of where they're shooting from even when they're offscreen. That way you could keep the current camera size and aspect ratio. Fishe.

i appreciate it. i like that the shadows in the background show you where the boss is, but i can see how some might prefer a ui for that for sure. thanks for playing

Submitted

oh you're totally right!

i didn't notice that at first as I was too mesmerized by the fancy caustics but it definitely felt way nicer on my second run with this in mind

Submitted(+1)

Cute game! Nice music, too!

Agreed with Lumberchulk, playing with a keyboard is currently a bit hard.

Submitted(+2)

love the silly intro! I might have missed it but didn't notice a restart button when you die. Also maybe consider using mouse to aim and fire on keyboard? I feel the arrow keys are a bit limiting. Good job though

Developer

thanks for the kind words. you can use r key or select to restart. also i thought of adding mouse aiming but it would've been a last minute change. may add it in the future though!
