cool game really like the stunning and eating mechanic its just that i got stuck between the edge of the world and a big hill but that's just my breaking games instincts kicking in

Nice visuals, sadly I didn't fully understand the stunning mechanic. I tried to stun shrimps, but they just happily continued to swim even if they were right next to me when I stunned.

Thank you for playing! Just to make sure my code isn't bugged, did the shrimp have yellow exclamation marks over their heads after you tried to stun them?  The stun effect only triggers when the bar is fully charged.

Just tested again, I overestimated the range of the stun by a lot. :D If I am right next to shrimps they get stunned.

cool style of the models, simple and beautiful, it really gives me a retrò game vibes, very nice mechanics, and realistic as a concept, i think xD 
I invite you to play my game and give me some feedback as well ^^

wow i really like this one! really well polished and i like the creative game mechanic of having to sneak up on your prey to actually eat, while also making it so to sneak you have to hinder your visibility greatly! my favourite part is probably the little glasses on the Angler fish you play as lol

Hey, very nice unique game. It looks great, and it was a clever idea to have a gameplay based on the angler light. I like your concept very much, I just find the shrimp quite difficult to stun :)

I hope you had a lot of fun during the jam.

very unique gameplay mechanic and nice art style made for a very fun game but I found it slightly difficult to catch the shrimp at the start but in generally very good and funny concept

Lol the glasses on the fish are great. Interesting concept kind of like an underwater stealth game! I really liked the chargeup ability. Camera got a little wonky when I started turning too much and I couldn't get it back to normal view, but up until then it controlled very nicely! I got 123!

Nom nom nom the shrimps! Funny concept. I really sucked at this but nice job on the originality. The flash effect is quite nice too.

There was really only one big complaint I had, and that was the movement. It was not easy to move around with the arrow keys in the way you had it set up. It's more traditional that w moves you in the direction the mouse faces, but that was not the case. I think a mouse sensitivity would also have been a nice feature to add, however, a time constraint will be restricting, and not everything can be added with that restriction.

Good job with the camera movement, fish AI, and background atmosphere.

This was my first attempt at a player controller that couldn't strafe so it definitely needs some adjustments haha.  Thank you so much for the kind words

You did a good job with the gameplay here. It was fun being in race against time to stun and eat the shrimp. Another thing: I think the jellyfish are very well made.
