We had a lot of fun testing your game during our live stream today, here is a link to the video archive wish to check in the future: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFx5tA14Nyc&t=1326s

Thanks for being part of the later, it was nice to meet you!

I liked the laid-back mood of this game. It's really relaxing and pleasant. Nice work man.

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Overall really great idea! Great music! My only complaints are, I wish the first level was a little bit more zoomed out because it was a bit challenging for me to find the white things. Also if you bump at the corner of the walls, the character would infinitely spin untill I walked to a wall, I got a little dizzy. Not bad for a game jam though.

Developer

Thanks a lot for your feedback, the spinning was because there's no real dangers, as the description said, if you wanted a calmed trip you should have avoided the algae, for the zooming, many people have said that, I put it there as a challenge but it seems it's only tedious.

Again, thanks a lot for your comment and feedback, I really appreciate it

Nice music. The first level was relaxing and the second level was challenging but definitely doable. I think the collider didn't match up too well with the shape of the fish, but once I got used to that it was fun. Great job!

Actually I spent like 15 mins on each collider, they’re polygonal, so it does perfectly match, maybe it’s because of the sudden spins, and this are there to make it more frustrating

Thank for your feedback anyway

That first level is pretty relaxing, good music choice. I enjoy the slow tilt of the bacteria.

The second level might be a little too difficult, there is no promised reward for the effort required to complete it.

Developer

Thank you for your honest feedback, I’ll consider that

Submitted

Nice job! Could use a bit more polish obviously but pretty well done. If I were to add one thing though it would probably be a minimap, but that's not too important.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback, I didn't add the minimap because the goal of that level is to pass a good long time and enjoy the music, that's also why the camera is so zoomed in, so you can explore and keep keys on your mind of where you are, if you pay enough attention you can notice that the map is kinda divided in 10 sections, each one with a different unique element

Had some fun playing the game.
The mixture of the music and the 'frustration' is a bit irritating but gives the game a charme of its own. Good work!

Developer

Thank you, that's exactly the goal of the second level! The premise of "A game that is relaxing and frustrating at the same time" is there because of the music, the same thing that's nice and enjoyable in the first level, makes you even more annoyed on the second

Submitted

Music and Gameplay are relaxing. Could need some more polish. Good job overall

Developer

Thanks for your feedback, yes I planned to do animations and better menus, but I hadn't enough time

Submitted

Great choice of music.   Keep up the great work!

Thanks for your comment!

This game is absolutely delightful. I really like the music. The character has a tendency to spin around the z axis after bumping into walls. As the round cyanobacteria is rather charming, but it makes the fish levels much much harder so success on the promise of the frustration level and calming level. Loved the art style. Nice work!

Developer

Thanks for your comment!, I really appreciate it
