Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous.

  • Really fun submission I enjoyed the worldbuilding and the artstyle is absolute peak, Greath job!

How does the game fit into the theme?
The game only has one player control, which is the fishing boat's light. The light is used to fend away anomalies of the deep. Moreover, the player only has one life (if the anomaly hits them, they lose), and there's only one story.

What premade assets did you use if any?
The button clicking and the dialogue sound effect (the same one, I just chopped them up for different uses).

What are the Discord usernames of everyone on your team?

Great visuals and audio, although the take on the theme is pretty weak. Solid game though!

Developer

Thank you! I've had mixed feedback on theme take, so this'll have to be a learning experience to make it clearer next time haha. Good luck on the jam btw! And love your game <3

Nice game! Really like the vibe of being out in the ocean at night delivered with the artstyle and idea behind it!

Thanks so much!! I've been re-exploring themes of nautical horror or sea things in general. I was inspired by a pixel art piece (aptly named Commercial Fishing lol, hence the title) and the feeling of interminable-ness of commericial fishing coupled with the vibe of a malicious sea really sold it for me. Thank you again, and good luck on the jam! <33

Very beautiful pixel art.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! It's been quite a humbling experience doing all of them within the time limit, but a very fun experience! And definitely learned a thing or two about visuals.

Btw! Love your game! I'll leave a review shortly, but so far I love the story :)

I love the Art, I do feel like you could've done more tho... Good game :)

Developer

Thanks for checking out the game! Admittedly, I do agree with you on your criticism; I did join the jam a bit late and could've spent my time wiser, but it's a learning experience for next time! :D

Dude the art is insane!!! How'd you guys manage to do it in just three days, honestly that's even crazier.

Developer

Thank you so much! It has definitely been a humbling experience doing all the art in the time alotted haha, but luckily it's pixel art so I don't have to sweat too much! ^^
