I didn't expect much based on the screenshots but this game is insanely well polished! Controls are smooth, visuals are neat and even the audio is great! The fish face at the bottom made me laugh a lot and I really appreciated the fact that you can find secrets levels! Great works!

Very fun. I just laughed so hard watching the trailer. Really nailed what you were going for !

Developer

Thank You! I Really Wanted To Let The Player Know What Kind Of Experience They We’re Getting Into Without Being Too Obvious, Thanks For Playing My Game!

Submitted

I think I just committed fishocide to all those poor fish in the cells (at least the levels made me think I'm in a prison). Nice concept, was fun to play. I liked the little secrets you hid here and there.

Developer

I love this game. I didn't grow up with these retro  games but I do have an emulator that can run all of this. I really liked you got the idea of this for sure I also think it'd be good if you add a sensitivity option.  However, I js thought that  the hit reg does have some faulty errors. Best of luck to you.

Developer

Thanks For Playing My Game!, Yeah i Wish I Did Have  A Slider For The sensitivity, My Friend Mentioned Having One But, Unfortunately Time Got the Better Of Me And Well No Slider, So With The Hit Reg I Think That Might have To Do With Range, Cause I Gave The Weapons A Certain Range And What Not So Maybe Thats It?, Id Have To look Into It Thought, But Thanks For The Feedback Its Really Appreciated, :)

yeah fs time is a bit of an issue haha. I’ve done a sensitivity or crosshair input for a current game im developing as of now.  I must say, the sens and crosshair thing was very weird but my coach figured it out like it was nothing haha.

Submitted

The answer is yes, the game was good enough to warant a sequal!
I got well more immersed in it than I thought I would from looking at it. I nearly closed the game at Level 2 thinking there wasn't an exit. Just imagine.. I would have missed out on that finale! So good hahaha

Developer

Hey Thanks For Playing My Game, I Actually Had A Lot Fun Time Making It, I Would Like To Make A Sequel Of Some Sort Later Down The Line, But Me And My Team Gotta Finish Our Main Project, And Level 2 Yeah I Wanted To Mess With People A Little Bit With That One, An Fun Fact When I Started Making The Final I Actually Hated It, Until  I Made Some Slit Changes And Now I think It Ties It All Together

Submitted

Ahh I loved the finale! I took out all the fish and sharks first, thinking I could then just focus on the boss, but then the next wave of minions spawned keeping it pretty intense. Of course the scattered health pick up's came in handy too, and it just became a matter of avoiding the boss whilst picking off the minions each time, until it came down to just me and the big man. Great work from you and your team, and good luck with your next game!

Developer

Thank You And To You Too

Submitted

This was pretty fun! I liked the gunplay and the funny fish guys. I do wish I had a little more direction as to where I was supposed to go, but other than that this is a great game. 

Developer

Thank You I appreciate it, I do understand not knowing where to go, but I wanted to keep with the aesthetic of the Doom/Wolfenstein games were you have to explore, so I decided to put a little hint in the about tab to find exit doors, but seriously though thank you for playing my game! :)

Submitted

very nice visuals for getting hurt and loading. I also liked the fact that the UI was like Wolfenstein 

Developer

Thanks I Appreciate It, Tried Making It The Best I Could
