Nice game with a nice message! It was a short experience with an important message, though I felt like it wasn't integrated too well in the gameplay. Also loved the ambience of the rain. My favorite part was the sudden appearance of the big fish, that gave me chills (reference the Jonah perhaps?)
Good job!
I appreciate the feedback; I definitely see what you mean (perhaps the symbolism was too vague or basic). Also, I loved making the giant fisch scene (It was actually a reference to Job and GOD's argument, but Jonah also works :) )
I liked the art, thought the font was a little hard to read. Game was a little short but great submission
Thanks for the feedback! I will try to work on extending the game!
The font was really hard to read but the art was pretty cute though. That was my favorite part.
Thanks. I had a lot of fun making it!
I almost did a similar game when the theme was announced and so I’m so glad that you ran with it. I found the game a little short and on the easy side but enjoyed the symbology and the concept.
Thanks! Yeah, it might have been too easy; I’ll need to focus on gameplay and challenges on my other projects.
Cool concept, maybe more stuff could have been added gameplay wise. I found it easy to avoid the monsters so never needed medkits but catching the fish was challenging. Also some sort of feed back on the UI as i didn't know how to navigate the menu or go back.
Hi! I get a message "Virus Detected" when I download your game, I'm sure it is a false positive but would still suggest looking into it if possible
thanks for the tip!
Okay, I got a message that prevented me from running the game at first since it was "unknown" but I chose run anyway and it worked fine. It should be alright.
