Very cute game, it was challenging but fun. I really loved the theme music and the whole feel of the game. It felt relaxing, but the game itself was not easy. Well done! 

Developer

I'm glad you liked it! I guess the relaxed music plus the challenge could help calm the player down? All the credit for cuteness goes to Totally.

The music really makes it stand out and gives it a surprisingly melancholic vibe.

Developer

I.... Thank you. Had some doubts about it but I guess it turned out good in the end.

Hey mate. I have some feedback about your game.

Firstly, the tutorial is too long so I had to refresh the page to read it again. The fact I needed to go up is self-explanatory

Secondly, the fact there is no way to restart the game after I, say take damage on literally the first fish because I'm bad is irritating.

Furthermore, the fact that I move even when I'm not pressing keys sometimes is also irritating and caused me damage that felt rather unfair.

Sometimes I took damage twice in quick succession, which felt also rather unfair. Although, I do also wish there'd be screen shake for when the player takes damage. 

I wish the fishes wouldn't rotate in such a weird way.

Robot is cute tho.

Lastly, I wish I'd know whether the game is infinite or not. Couldn't be the game smh.

Developer

- I get the tutorial. I wanted to make even dummies understand what you had to do.

- Yeah, I guess the only option is taking damage intentionally.

Yes. The use of the physics engine was a great idea. I think we could have found a solution for that if we had more time. We had many ideas how to improve the robot, but in the end I was just happy that it's functional.

- Whoops. Damage bug found.

- The fish were my mistake. Idk why are they even fish, they are literally floating.

- The level actually has an end. I think if you reach it you should be put back into the menu

Developer

Actually the damage bug was found long time ago
and i did fix it , but i guess the implementation wasnt good enough

Oh that poor little robot. Really creative, nice use of the theme, and incredibly challenging (for me, anyway). Cute, well presented, excellent.

Developer

Thank you! We sorta tried to be "inventive" with it all, having indirect control with joints and all that. (Then, the physics made it a bit harder to make it both functional and fun.) The challenge is universal. Next time, we will probably leave more time to... "Place and TEST and TWEAK". Instead of just placing.

Super fun to play, nice art and music, overall pretty good game.

Developer(+1)

I am flattered.

Looks great and sounds great! The mechanics remind me a lot of QWOP and those other "rage games". Difficulty could maybe be tweaked a little, but maybe that's the point :P

Developer

Yeah. The difficulty is a thing. That may not be the best. In the beggining we were like "How do we make this actually challenging enough so players wouldn't get bored?" Then, we made the level and had to submit the game without much testing. So I guess next time we have to organise even better!

Really fun game, switching arms can be a cool challenge.  Art looks clean as heck! Theo's music on the piano was a really sweet touch. Good submission!

Developer

Aww thank you Cadet! I'm glad you liked what we made!
