Cool game idea! It took me some time to understand how it is operated, and I got through the levels mostly by pure luck, but I really like the idea of this kind of math game.

How does your game fit the theme?
The game is about an orca who does math to stay underwater.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
No, I've used some 3rd party assets.

Very nice original concept. Takes some skill for quick thinking and quick reactions to hit the ball in the correct place! There was one small glitch that I encountered, where the ball actually left the bounds of the game level and never came back which meant I had to restart. Other than that little blip, this is overall a nice entry to the game jam!

Whispers of WhitechapelI, like everyone else, will say that the ball is very fast. For the rest, I liked it.

SpongeBob-DivingDeeperPlayed your game because I thought the name was hillarous. Had a good laugh when I was suddenly facing a challenging math-game. This was definitely not what I expected :D
Like the art style, clean and neat. Sometimes you don't need expensive textures.
Only thing to complain about is that imo the ball was a little too fast. The moment I got a plan what to do, the ball has already bounced 5 times (or maybe I just think too slow, who knows)

Explorer's DescentReally love this game ! You really nailed the graphics and sounds. The concept is also quite original, I was instantly hooked, good job !

Family SecretI love the look of this game. Feel like it's really tricky, but that maybe just slowing down the ball movement so you have more time to follow and maybe a slow-motion when you go to hit to slow it down even more would solve this. Might just be me. Good job!

The Seagullcute lil orca! But everything was going way to quickly. There was no introduction or entry levels to get used to everything. Really tricky but a creative idea!

Pool Jump 9000Great concept and good fun, maybe make the orca bigger so it is easier. Still great job

The Fall - Brackeys GameJam 2023.2It's a fun concept! The sounds aren't over the top and don't get too annoying. Very hard to play though.

Titan: Deeper Than DarkAmazing concept and mechanics but found it really hard to play
Submitted
2D Shooting: The Deep DiveReally cool concept but I struggled a lot to hit the ball and make it hit the right parts. Really enjoyed the whale though, very nice :)

DivemasterBall is moving too fast. I tried two different browsers and the ball moves in different speed. I assume you didn't multiply the amount of translation by Time.deltaTime? (If so, I suggest you fix it and re-upload the fixed version. That falls under the category of "game breaking bug")
Game files are not locked so if you discover a major issue with your game file it is possible to change this afterwards, just make sure you make a submission before the deadline. This is only for game-breaking issues, don't use this feature to otherwise update your game before the rating period is over.
Anyway, that's a great concept. Simple and creative!
