I found the game really beautiful and relaxing in a way, ahahaha. The visuals and music are very beautiful indeed! :)

The only thing I can mention is that there's no tutorial at the beginning of the game (we didn't have one either in our game, and we already saw how much it helps ahaha).

Love the concept and looks really good! I got two red stones and one blue back to my fish god but after that didn't know what to do since I felt like there were rocks in the way everywhere I went. Did I miss something?

Thanks so much! You can break rocks when you're in big mode, just pick up the blue scale and swim up to them. We definitely should have made it clearer with a tutorial. You can then swim up the pipe, but make sure you're in small mode, otherwise you won't fit. Thanks for the feedback!

I liked it a lot. It's beautiful! The puzzle is cool. I was a bit frustrated by the controls and there were some weird things happening with the scaling occasionally, but I think that's all. Great game and congratulations on finishing the jam!

Very pretty game! The mechanic is fun to use but I got softlocked a few times because the scale I needed accidentally fell down a tunnel. Big fish skeleton!!

Hey! I'm trying to review games with very few ratings and I came across this one and I saw your comment but it says there's no ratings on this game. Is it possible that you forgot to save your rating?

Reply

I commented on the game before the ratings we're open, but I just saved my ratings. Thanks!

thanks a bunch! Dar, the artist, killed it with the visuals. the game definitely needs better design, polish and bugfixing, but we are so glad you played and had fun!

and hell yeah, BIG FISH SKELETON!
