Really liked the atmosphere you created. Swimming around and eating was relaxing, and the music choice was spot on. The simple art style worked well. I did get a bit confused at first on how to start moving, but once I figured it out, it was smooth swimming. Nice work

Thank you...the idea for the fishbowl as a tiny world came first, and everything followed naturally.

Super cozy aquarium game! And clever use of a pun in the title matching the killer background track! Well done.

Such a sweet little game. The thick strokes and the simple art. It’s more an awesome art project than a game. But it’s also that. Good work!

Thank you...it IS an art project, a small story of a tiny world. :)

Really nice. And the title fits perfectly. :)

Maybe you can export it for Linux. I’d play it regularly.

I will try to expand the gameplay, maybe add multiple endings (as soon as I figure out how to do all of that)...and port it for Linux.
Hey, I played and finished "Funny Land" in a meantime. ;)

Reply
PlifSubmitted72 days ago

Hey, would be nice. What engine? So, you’re more the artist than the coder?

Hehe, for Funny Land I missed the update. I got so many good ideas during the jam for it but I never was motivated to make a Funny Land 2.0. But many critics of it I included in my speed platformer now.

What engine?
GM:S (the first one).

So, you’re more the artist than the coder?
If I have to guess, a game designer, the rest I work around, ask, read, copy and stea..."borrow".

..but I never was motivated to make a Funny Land 2.0.
I really liked the game...and SFX made me smile. :)

But many critics of it I included in my speed platformer now.
I have recognized the influence...truly good job.

Wow that got me in the feels.  Everything's going swimmingly and then someday one's world is turned upside down by someone's passing.  Great stuff!

Unfortunately I was unable to pass the "fish you were here" screen.

I enjoyed the simple art style and music of that screen. not sure if I am missing something... screen cap should I click somewhere specific?

Hi Bootnut...not sure what is happening, you should just hold mouse pointer inside the bowl, and hold LMB to move.

okay, I will give it another try.

That was pleasant suprise) It possibly could be a bigger art project, dream fish. Nice cover by the way.

Thank you for trying my game. It is imagined as an atmospheric project.

I like how the game is controlled and the design overall. I assumed that the blue fish was trying to get me, so I kept avoiding it. Not sure if that was the intention, but when the blue fish disappeared I thought maybe they were supposed to be friends and the goldfish forgot about them? Because of gold fish memory. The story was poignant to me in that sense. Well done! :D

You are right...the point is that the red fish remembers its friend, and the memory is slowly fading away,  just like most things do. I let the player try to feed both fish or not in order to keep them alive,  make one run away or play with another, to come up with personal take on the part of the story. Thank you for playing.

Ah a fellow fish-game-creator! I liked the music and it fit well with the theme. I think it could do with some extra explanation for the actual gameplay.

Thank you...I enjoyed your game also.
 This game is more about the story (as you imagine it) and little less about actual gameplay.

I played a couple of times but i'm not sure what the win condition or gameplay loop is? It does fit the theme nicely though.

There is no actual win condition...just a story of a lonely goldfish, told through gameplay.
Thank you for playing and your comments, I also liked your game.
