I really likes the aesthetic and the fish missile was a fun surprise! Nice one!

T-THIS GAME IS JUST AWESOME!

The aesthetic, the music, the game, the limitation, the theme...

Everything is great!

Maybe my only complaint is that is kind of short, but this was a jam, so it makes sense.

Good luck! :D

Game is spot on about concept and graphichs.

God tier level mix between 2D and 3D.

I really enjoyed the game for the time it lasted, it's easy to understand and totally worth playing. The title being cut as "They came" also got me laughing hard. The music's catchy and makes you enjoy the game even more, and every sound effect fits perfectly. Only thing I would change is the fact that the player starts with way too many fish, making it almost impossible for him to lose, at the end of the game, I was left with more than 15 fish, which is good but kinda forces the player to be terrible to lose, removing quite the challenging part.

With that out of the way, really nice game, I have no further complaints, I like the game's name, and though the guy throwing the staff (sorry idk what is that) is kinda weird, it's also funny, like if it was some old fishermen tired of the UFOs stealing the damn fish.

10/10 would do it again.

This is super fun good job man !

It would be fun to play an expanded versions perhaps with upgrades for movement speed or something... I really like the feedback from throwing the spear. Well done :)

Don't worry, I didn't let them steal of our dang fish. Fun game, good job :)

Fun and very polished. Love the 2D 3D blended style. Sounds and UI were nice. Though it was hard to say if there was progress in destroying the mothership - maybe that was just me tho.

Overall really fun!

Very addicting game. Nice Work.

So adorable! the little running of the character, the simplicity of the ships, the ships crashing in the background, the silliness of the lake rockets all worked together to make such a cool game visually! the camera rotation was a very cool aesthetic as well. Great work! 

Game play was pretty fast past, I never felt like I got messed up because of bad spawns which is a huge plus. My only real issue is that since I couldn't see some sort of indicator on how many worms until the rocket, the game felt more like "just survive until you win" rather than "a mad dash to fire the rockets". maybe some UI saying worms till rocket would be a good addition. But thats really my only critic the game is super solid all around!

Fantastic work

I really enjoyed playing this game!

This is such a unique concept with creat visuals and a really good music.

Also, I love the water Shader.

Loved those cartoony graphics! the concept is really nice and the fact that the pool launches missiles really got me!

The mix between pixelart and outlined 3D is just perfect, the main mechanic is simple but addictive, the game duration is on the spot to not get bored or repetitive.

Nice game, the mix of 2D and 3D is really cool, I have never seen it before

The game has great visual appeal. I love that you mixed both 3D and 2D objects, which created a unique aesthetic. The animations also felt smooth. Great Job!

You did great. Theme fitting, fun, great visual and funny :D I think people will really love your game. We see UFOs very often in my ranch, it makes me scared sometimes.

well, now you know what to do when they try and steal your wet friends ;)
Thanks a lot!
