Great game! Loved the art for the fish and the design of the environment. Real cool to see your process on your youtube video.  Great work!

Developer

Very good-looking, especially for a game made for 3-day game jam! Pleasant, consistent graphics, nice music, simple, yet well-executed idea.

A single thing that kinda annoyed me was the slow pace - I would love to see some kind of "Boost Up" mechanic.

Still, this is just a minor setback, a suggestion I may say. Keep going with the good work ;)

thanks. I did consider a power up that increases speed but I just didnt have the time to implement it.

Got me really invested! The hit boxes were a little out of bounds, which led to some unsavory deaths, but overall great experience.

Also really smart to provide some music options. I went with the third, relaxing one, really help set the mood for me. : )

Developer

aw amazing thanks for the feedback. I'll take a look at the hit boxes.

Cool game! I really enjoyed it. Level 10 was so long! I was at the edge of my seat hoping a fish wasn't going to pop out and get me. The sprites look great and I like the palette you picked. Really calming. I went with track one for the music too and it was a good combo. Really solid game.


Developer

awesome. Thanks for the comment and nice score. Did you beat it on hard mode?

Submitted(+1)

Great game. One of the best games in the jam.

1, The Bubble's hitbox is too big. I got killed by spikes despite being inches away.

2, It would be nice for beginners to have easy mode enabled by default. So that way. They can beat the game faster.

3, It would be nice to support Arrow keys as well.

Besides these, Great and Polished game.

I would be very happy if you would play my game.

It sounds and looks brilliant! The art style is just really pleasing to look at, and the music really makes the atmosphere. The sfx fit in perfectly as well! The use of the limitations is there and executed so well. Everything just works really, really well together.

Only problem I had was that the collisions with the spikes were a little unforgiving. I was stuck on the start of level 6 for a good while, even though I could see what I had to do to progress.

But otherwise a fantastic game!

Developer(+1)

Ah sorry to had trouble there. I'll reduce the collision areas somewhat. I'm glad you enjoyed the game. :)

Really cool game! Everything is really well done. The levels where you have to purposefully make yourself smaller to fit the gaps were my favorite, but also super difficult. Sooo many fish have ruined my bubble's day.

Developer

haha thanks, be careful of those fishies :)

Really polished, liked the gradual introduction of new elements on each level, and I love the music! Use of the limitation and theme was great too
