Art is great. Like the concept.
Feels a bit unfair and not balanced.

Kinda like life, amiright? Joking aside, i completely agree. I should have focused more on polishing the AI and easing players into the situation. This is my 2nd game jam ever and damn these things teach you a lot.

I absolutely adore the graphics and audio.  The overall aesthetic is great, and the music so perfectly complements the feel of the game.  That said, I couldn't quite figure out the gameplay...

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! I spent way too long working on the aesthetic, and the design fell short, sorry about that :( I'm still learning how to balance the workload in game jams. There is a short video on the page now, to point you in the right direction, but I have plans to release a new version after this. I would love to hear more of your feedback when the update comes out

a big fan of the 2d in 3d world, cute little penguin sprites, I found it really hard after the killer whale started to get me though, neat game!

The audio and the visuals are really great, but I was so confused about the gameplay that I had to look up the game page, and after I'd been eaten by the whale three times I gave up. A shame, I really want to like this game. Looking forward to see how you develop on it post-jam :)

Developer

Thanks for trying it out, I may drop everything in my life to work on this game...I love it so much. The whales programming is bad and they are indeed too fast, but you can turn them off by opening the menu and clicking "Gamemode" until it says "Free".  I find myself luring the whale away from the island until i can get to the cave without getting caught. The cave also triggers and falls on the whale if it tries to enter.

Game was fun for the first two minutes I played but afterwards I kept being teleported to the starting point and then the game crashed.

Developer

Thanks for trying it out! The killer whales will teleport you back to the start area, but clicking on Gamemode to Free, will stop them from attacking.. They are wayyy too fast, I should of slowed them down before uploading.

Really well made! It's a beautiful game, I loved the pixel art contrast with the rest of the world. Good job!

This was a really cool mix of 2d and 3d graphics, also the controls felt naturally and well done. Good job.

Very cool mechanic(the swimming). The idea 2D/3D enviroment is cool. But it feels emty, put some other living things, ocean is full of live, some plants.

Edited because i didn't see you were also in the jam! 100% agree with you, I didn't have time to add it  but i still wanted a big open space to swim around in. Ill update it when the jam is over, there is a lot of stuff i had to leave out

Oh my god that whale is scary. This is a really good game!

Developer
