How does you game fit the theme?
The players are not alone since both character jellyfishes are connected by a rope that is a knot. They are Knot Alone.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All except for the copyright free music and sound effect I had the rights to use.

I really had fun playing the game good job! but there should have been a progress bar for each level or even a score so the player feels that he is rewarded for each kill, I would appreciate it if you try and review my game :D

Very fun idea! I liked the music choice and the varied enemies. Good game!

Developer

Thanks!

The idea is really unique and fun and fits the theme perfectly! The unique enemies are well done and add a lot to the game, but it feels too repetitive because the levels are too long. But overall its really well done and fun! :)

Developer

Thanks! In hindsight I should have made the levels shorter.

Thanks!

A really good fit for the theme to be able to play this game solo or with a friend! I also really liked how you implemented the mechanic of controlling two characters at the same time, simple but still a bit challenging, without being too difficult. Good job! (and love the title pun lol)

Thanks! The game was meant to be able to be played by 2 people but I also wanted it to be playable to those who played alone.

Really fun to play! I had some truble to play it alone but it tested my skills! Also cute story! Well done!

Developer

Thank you. The ending was decided at the last minute.

Really good! A bit difficult to control both players at once if youre playing solo but the art work is great, the mechanics felt polished, and its a great fit for the theme. Great work.

Developer

Thanks for liking the game!

This game is great! I really like the art, it added to the game so well!. Also the gameplay and aestheticwas so cool! If you were to add more to this game or continue development I would recommend level design as, in my opinion, should be made shorter, and the transitions between each level's end should be less abrupt.. Don't take that in a bad way as it was constructive critsim. A overall good game and great submission. If you have the time would you like to rate and leave some feedback on my game? If not then at least help out some of the people in the "need for rating" category. Its totally up to you and keep up the great game dev

I love how you turned the theme into a pun, and I love puns, so extra points for that! Overall fun to play. Do you mind rating my game when you get the chance?

Developer

Puns make all games better. Sure, I'll check your game out tomorrow!

This was a tuff game for me. I am not good at controlling two characters at once and shooting. Good job!

Funny spin on the theme

Developer

Thanks. Bad puns are amazing.

Submitted(+1)

A lot of fun and yet really simple to understand and play! It looks and sounds amazing too! I do think the levels could be shorter and the end of each level should be easier to see coming rather than just a transition out of nowhere, but overall good work!

Developer

Thanks for enjoying the game!

Very good idea, and the execution is quite solid! The game is a bit repetitive and the levels a bit too long, but I enjoyed playing it with my wife =)! As you said, I think the whole fun of this game is playing with two different players that struggle to organize =p (kinda "overcooked" vibe ^^). The same player controlling both characters is way less fun.

Overall a nice entry, congratulations!

Developer

Thanks for the advice and for enjoying the game! Game could have benefitted from shorter levels.

I like the concept! :) But i think this can use some more polish, since you can kinda cheese it by sticking to the bottom and spamming the shoot buttons. Other than that, really nice submission!

Developer

Thanks! The game can kinda be cheesed but I didn't want to make it too challenging.

Submitted(+1)

cool concept! i think a score counter or something to see how far u got would of been a cool addition. Otherwise cool entry!

Developer

Thanks for playing my game! A score counter would of been cool, especially during the more chaotic levels!

Love the game. One of the suggestion I can give is to find a more fitting soundtrack with the game style, maybe like underwater theme

Developer

Thanks for loving the game! Yeah, it was 2 in the morning and the jam ending in 4 hours, so I tried to quickly find a song and thought a Pirate song was good enough. Would have been better with a chaotic underwater theme.
