Really cute and fluid game. Dash felt great! It's an excellent entry

This was so much fun omg. He's just a stinky fella.  I couldn't pass the turtle boss after three attempts, I just couldn't get to the beans in time even in my self conservation lol. Really solid game, great sound design, awesome artwork, and overall just a ton of good fun.

tons of fun, great challenge level! Game felt really polished, nice work on the sound design, that's a real challenge you solved pretty gracefully

Thank you! Glad the sound design felt graceful, it felt less than that while I was making farting noises into the mic LOL. 

lol yeah, i use the word grace slightly facetiously, but really you did a great job of integrating the sound into the game without it being annoying or too much

Not sure how this doesn't have more ratings. Creative, fleshed out, polished, and fun. I legitimately had a great time playing it. Only gripe was that it's a bit easy. There was an ample supply of health so I didn't feel the pressure to not get hit. However I feel without that it would be too hard as specifically with the turtle level I feel you get pinned by having to choose whether to get hit by the big turtle or the small ones. Maybe just limit the health a little bit. Overall though fantastic submission.

Developer

Thank you so much! I always try to error on the side of making a jam game too easy as opposed to too hard. I had hoped to make a hard mode with more limited health but ran out of time. I'm glad you still enjoyed it!

A wonderful take on consequences with your life being important for defeating the enemy. The art was realy cute and I enjoyed the audio. My only problem was tha the game was a bit easy. But this is clearly a 5/5 game that I would gladly recomend.

Developer

Thank you so much. I do try to make jam games easier than I think they should be due to the variety of players that will try. I did hope to add a hard more but ran out of time. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

A very refreshing and creative take on player attacks.  

There seems to be a bug at level 3 where the fish won't move after the game retries, or maybe I just pressed something.

Developer

Thank you! Oh, no I hadn't run into that bug. I'll take a look at it. Thanks for the heads up.

Funny implementation of the theme with a unique shooting mechanic! I also like the art and environment bubble effect.

Never thought I'd see a farting fish in a bullet hell game, brilliant concept, and clean result.

Developer

Thank you so much! I wasn't sure if it would work out but I'm pretty pleased with the results. Glad you liked it!
