Cool game! Really liked the mechanics.. but story is something that needed to be opened

Glad you liked it!! Yeah, I’d actually written the full story in my notebook beforehand - sadly didn’t have enough time to implement it 😅

what a incredible game wow , i am speechless in all the mechanics in such a simple looking game , the unique player controller is amazing , i love how underwater caves and levels were made , this is my favorite game of the whole game jam 5 stars out of 5 stars for everything truly well done (THE FISH ALSO HAS LEGS XD) , great pace from a well thought out intro mixed into a tutorial as well , you even have mini cutscene for the level door opening , and how you got the cable physics to work is crazy to me .would love if you could go check out my game, Load it up!

Wow, super impressive to have done all that in pure javascript in only 13 days! Feels like a fully-fledged game! Only critique I have is with the way to move the fish in water (i always have trouble with the rotate + advance mechanic when moving around in 360º environments), but that's more a me thing than a you thing ;)

This little gem is amazing--what is even more incredible is that everything was done by scratch--no engine, just pure JS. The game juice is nice too.

I also love how you were able to combine primitive shapes to produce the game's graphics. As someone who lacks artistic skills, this is something I can learn from. Well done!

Fun game, played through all the levels and enjoyed it! Graphics are nice and effects were awesome, well done!

Developer

Thanks so much for playing it to the end! Much appreciated, happy you enjoyed it 😁

Great. It's unbelievable that you made it in 13 days all by yourself. 👏👏

Developer

Thanks for the kind words ☺️

Very solid! I liked the fish movement and animations. The basic gameplay idea is satisfying and makes sense. The visuals could use more love but worked well enough! And I loved the music.

Developer

Thanks for the valuable feedback, means a lot to me!!

The art and animation is great! I did have a weird issue where playing the game on a larger monitor made the game run incredibly slow. I did switch the tab to a different monitor which sped it up. No idea why that was happening but just letting you know!

Developer

Ohh noo, thanks for the heads-up!

I actually noticed a similar laggy problem when playing it on my phone using FireFox. Chrome seemed to work much better tho. But it’s super strange that you found switching monitors made a difference – no idea why that would happen 🤔

Thanks for the feedback, hugely appreciated! I’ll def look into the problem.


Glad you liked the game 🙃
