Nice little game, I played updated version and didn't have the issue with jumping. Nice work!

Developer

Thanks ! Glad you liked it :)

Cool concept and looks good.

It would be nice to have a button to retry a level, like press R to instantly die and restart.

In level 2, I couldn't jump high enough at first. I changed my display to 30Hz and then I jumped much higher, so I could beat all 3 levels. While the movement speed per frame should change with fps, the total height shouldn't. If you use delta_time to integrate the speed from acceleration, you also have to do the same for integrating position from speed. So v += a*dt, but also x += v*dt.

Thanks for your comment and taking time to explain :)

Really fun and cute game, athough I can't seem to find a way to beat level 2.

I think it would be more convenient for other players to play in the browser instead of downloading the game, don't you think?

Developer

Thanks for your comment ! If its because you can't jump high enough, its because I used delta time so according to the frame rate, the jump height changes...

Yes, I think so too but I didn't know how to do it...

You use Love2d right? You could take a look at this then: https://schellingb.github.io/LoveWebBuilder/package
It didn't works for me for the first couple of times, but now I always use this in every jams I participate. It really nice since people can access your game more easily.

Cool concept! would have been nice to have a restart button so I didnt have to wait every time I missed a fish. The other thing is I am not sure Level 2 is possible, there is only 6 fish and most of the jumps are too high to jump. But level 1 was fun to route through and the sounds were nice. Great work.

Developer

Thanks a lot for your comment :) I think its because I used delta time and according to the frame rate, jumps are not always of the same height...

Simple concept, and well delivered. That first fish is so easy to miss though, a quick and easy way to restart the level would be nice. Just needs some background music to give the player a real sense of urgency and complete the experience.

Fine work, and good luck! :D

Developer

Thank for your comment :) Yes there is still a lot to improve

Interesting graphics. Alas, but the game did not fit into the screen. Part of the screen at the top and part of the bottom were not visible. As a result, I was unable to play. But I understood and appreciated the idea. Nice project!

Nice idea, fish sprites are really cute. I did have some problems with the screen size though, bottom of the game does not fit to the screen.

Developer

Thanks for your comment ! I wanted the levels to be entirely visible in the window cause and I didn't want to deal with scrolling xD (I will learn that for next time)
