Looks really polished, the movement was difficult in my opinion (I know it's intended, but it was still difficult)
Wow, I can't believe I almost missed this submission, I love it! Reminds me of the Spore cell phase.
Really good game. I can see the potential to expand this with different whale maps and even adding enemies to make a super-complete game.
As it is, it's a very entertaining jam game, super polished and very satisfying to play expecially near the end. I missed some more content. After completing all the upgrades, there's no longer any objective to keep playing and I really wanted to stay a little longer with my super fish eater. haha
Love it!
Pretty cool, got max upgrades and caught 30 extra to see if there was something secret but didn't find anything XD
It's pretty hard to get going, the jaw speed and extra fish upgrades are way way important at the start since there's barely any fish and it's really hard to catch them.
The aesthetic is pretty rusty and creepy which I enjoyed and also was disgusted by, audio is nice and gives good feedback for stuff done. If I had any complaints it took me a moment to figure out how exactly to upgrade before going back out of the menu and seeing to press the button.
I'm glad you enjoyed it :). The tutorial is a little bit broken and didn't have time to fix it. Maybe a little secret ending would be cool in the future!
Awesome! The swimming mechanic is really clever and the satisfaction that comes near the end from catching all the fish is really cool
The endgame is definitely the most satisfying, glad you liked it!
very good swimming mechanic
Decent art, good tutorial, impressed by the whale implementation (technically, that was cool), I can't tell if im being skill issued but I couldn't catch a single damn fish lol, their turning rate is too good for how fast we gotta move to catch them, cool concept tho!
Thanks! I agree, catching fish might be a bit too difficult at the beginning. Some are slower than others though, so try not to get tunnel visioned on one specific target.
The swimming mechanic is very satisfying. The pitch going up when you swim is a fine touch.
I really liked it – the tutorial was very good. Everything was well explained and easy to understand. The whale is really creepy :D. The upgrade system is well done, and the art style is really great.
love it, the only thing i would want is for the consumption hitbox to be a bit more generous
