Very interesting game. Art is really nice, and music fits perfectly. Some kind of indication of losing a heart would be nice. (Heart is lost, but no sound, no nothing. However, a lot of reviews already have that. The game is designed with a purpose, and it fulfills its role perfectly. The swarm of fish really helps with it (maybe make it appear from two directions). so it can push left or right). Floating platforms instead of floating blocks can be done as underwater lily pads. (and maybe some can collapse after a period of time). More sounds would be nice. Fantastic game. I only managed to beat the game by skipping the parkour part :/

Loved the game! It is a unique and fun game mechanism. The only thing that bothers me is the colliders. Maybe the colliders of Pinky need some fix. And, don't know if it is an intentional easter egg, but I was able to skip most of the levels by timing the press of space bar and keep Pinky in the air for a long period of time.

Fun game!

I loved the art and the music, Pinky's animations look so good! I also think that the idea of there being stamina for jumping, but the hearts kinda blend in with the background, so I think maybe adding camera shake or changing its color to indicate that would be an interesting idea. Overall though I think this is one of the best submissions I've seen so far!

I absolutely love the art and music! <3 a blobfish romancing a beta fish was something I didn't know I needed ^^

Thank you! The story came out the last day, we wanted to do something more but we were focused on other things. The idea of a blobfish romancing a betta fish is ironic because one is considered the ugliest fish in the world and the other the prettiest

Btw, the soundtrack is "Sergio's Magic Dustbin" by Kevin MacLeod (it's free to use ^^)

Love the art, the music fits pretty well too. One thing I'd add is a more obvious indicator for when you take damage. The damaged heats and regular hearts are so similar in color that it's hard to tell when you really took damage. 

The use of stamina was also creative, though something like exhausting stamina only when jumping in the air might make the game less about stamina management and more about accuracy (don't know if that's intentional or not though). 

Love the lore :)

I love the reviews you leave on all the games. Your comments are very constructive and help us see the things we can improve :)

Ironically, someone on the team mentioned the same thing about the color of the hearts, but we didn't pay much attention because we thought it looked fine, however, when we changed the color palette, some things changed. We would have liked to do something more besides the stamina bar, but we couldn't do it because of time, but we are happy that many people like that mechanic ^^

Your game is good too!

Thank you for the positive comment

Love your pfp. I should try and animate mine too :)

Personally, I prefer it when the reviewers on your projects don't just feel like ghosts (experienced a lot of that in High Seas and Summer of Making). That's why I try and maintain the standard of a comment on every project I review. Helps make everything feel human instead of robotic.

I really like the concept of the jumps being a stamina bar! I think there's a lot of interesting ways you could build off of that mechanic. The art style is also pretty nice, the color palette works well.

Hi! You can play with WASD and there's a stamina bar so you can jump 3 times. We'll check out your game, thanks for you comment ^^
