hahaha I liked the hand drawn fish and tail wagging, jumps when he dies.
The slippery controls matched the theme extremely well. I wish the spikes were a little more telegraphed though.
Good stuff dude.
I liked this, fish felt fun to control! Good with keeping in the theme!
Fish is def out of place! I think you could ramp up the difficulty a bit later and be more generous in the beginning while I am still learning the controls. Escpailly as we all have similar controls and I am using similar buttons but I am also coming out of other games where I have to relearn timing.
Thanks for your feedback:) yeah i was late into this jam and decided to take on a bit more then i should have considering:P i had planned for more difficult parts to be towards the end and keep the difficulty closer to a steady level, but i started running out of time so after the first half of the level i slacked on the second half:( i wanted more traps and obstacles especially on the back elevators;) Due to the jam being one level i really wanted it to be some what challenging and encourage more play time through repeated attempts, although looking back a bit more kindness while learning the controls and a few checkpoints would have gone a long way haha. Im glad you decided to play it and even happier you took the time for feedback. Thank you:)
Really liked the theme. The fish also really feels like a fish! Sort of slipper and bouncy. Some of the colliders are definitely a bit off though, I lost the ability to jump once in a while, and the moving platforms at the end would sometimes become de-synced. Really nice overall!
Fantastic idea for the theme. I agree with the other comment about checkpoints, but overall it wasnt too much of a problem. I just had to try harder not to die.
Finished in 162 seconds.
I think you should add some checkpoints, some signs about position of obstacles.
