I think it's pretty cool that you were able to put in the concept of limited ammo! I was amused to find that shooting a harpoon at a harpoon pickup actually picks up those harpoons, haha. The theme and aesthetics are great. My only complaint is that WASD movement felt a bit frustrating to control.

I think that you have the right idea with how to do the water physics, it's just that the execution of it was severe. A little tweaking would clear it up pretty quickly, I think!

Hey, thank you for commenting. Glad you liked it :) Yes, controls were a challenge. I really wanted to simulate movement underwater, and I did also feel that they were not precise enough. I planned to try to correct that by the end of the jam, but focus went on other parts of the game. I have a plan to fix it, maybe in some future update :) Thanks again for commenting. I really love your Vindicta :)

shooting is so darn fun, the sound effect is good. Love to play, but i had a hard time figuring out what i need to do to win. After that ,silky smooth and super fun

Developer

Hey, glad you liked it. Tnx for the feedback , yeah it does need some introduction :)

I love the visuals and it was fun to play! I was curious though, is there a way to defeat the evil mermaid? XD She seemed invincible!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback, glad you liked it :) Sadly the evil mermaid is currently invincible :D  I was planing some Boss fight mechanics for her, but it switfly went out of scope for this  game jam version xD  Only thing that she does is that she increases number of fish while she is spawned. But i plan some updates on it in the future. Currently you win the game by gathering 2000 points. Tnx again for commenting :)

Thank you for responding! I REALLY wanted to win and those fish are ferocious. I love a challenge.

Nice game!  I think a little less gravity and harpoons would make it feel better.

Developer

Thank you for the comment,  I'm planning some updates for it in the future. Glad you liked it :)

I love the art design, especially the UI. Really cool mechanics, what I think it's missing is the sense of urgency, you never really run out of harpoons as you always have dozens. Other than that beautiful game! =) 

Developer

Thank you, glad you liked it :) Also thank you for the comment, didn't even pay attention and I agree there is too much ammo available. It was a rush, first Jam and was afraid with time. But I will return to this one for an update and maybe continue its development in the future. Tnx again, it means a lot :)

Very cute and clean graphics! Great work! I'm so bad at it :p Will have to come back to try for a high score. The graphics for the menu and UI are perfect too!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it and thank you it means alot :) Cant take credit for the graphics, mostly greate free assets open for use. Unity Asset Store and websites like OpenGameArt.org were my friend during this Jam. Without them the outcome would be very different :) Thanks for commenting. :)
