Notes (optional)
Loved the free spirit of the jam and the very broad theme enabling people to be really creative.
I took this opportunity to fully embrace 3D and to give 3D in Godot a try - and also giving my own abilities a try to create a 3D fish game. I am very proud to what I achieved! :)

Sadly, the game crashed/did not start. Something with .net library

Developer

Oh, probably .NET framework needs to be installed - most computers already have that installed from other games as well.

If you are interested to play the game, we could investigate further, if you don't want to take that effort, I can understand as well.

If you want to get an impression of the game, I made a full gameplay video:

I love love loved the sound design! It was so chill and calming! And it was fun to go around and explore! My game lagged a ton whenever the shark spawned in but otherwise it was a great experience. Great job!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and nice words. Interesting that it lags when the shark attacks, actually it doesn't spawn, it's always in the world and swimming around, so maybe something in my chasing logic is too performance intensive - gonna have a look at it

It was fun trying to find all of the achievements, still a couple of them missing but I enjoyed playing a lot. I like the graphics and the deep sea atmosphere, Good job on the game! :)

Developer

I thought it was a horror game at first xD coz of the darkness and music. It's awesome how much discovery you can do in the game. Few times I didn't have to look at the achievements, I just get them by exploring. Like swimming with the fishes, literary the first thing I did in the game, felt like the game KNEW the player would do that!

I'm loving the Finding Nemo references. That goggles gave me a flashback 42 walabi Sidney! Seeing Marlin and Nemo swimming together is cute too!

I don't really have much feedback or bugs to report... the game as they said, is polished. But I am proud to get the Sea Expert achievement :3 

Developer

Thank you very much for the feedback, great that you got all the achievements, happy to see that somebody really explored everything! I am happy that the achievements felt rewarding. Maybe I should put a disclaimer somewhere that this is not a horror game. :D

This was polished, loved the achivements, movement, and lowpoly art.

Didn’t complete it, but was a great time!

I got eaten so many times.
When not looking at the screen the swimming sound turned into a steam engine train in my head.

Developer

Haha, yes, you discovered the secret lore of the game. Actually, all those fishes are just steam engines in an aquarium. :'D

Such a lovely game! I love achievement-hunting games and this does not disappoint. Great touch being able to spawn the shark by swimming upwards so that you could practice the shark achievements. I didn't get everything, but I had a great time with this. No notes! A+ job.

Developer

Thank you very much for your kind words. :)
