I liked the CRT effect and the colour pallet choice. I felt that the whale collider was ever so slightly larger than the sprite, though that may have just been from the stress.

the game is quite hard XD

I'm a bit confused at first on how to use item or buy upgrade

but after few tries I think I understand how to play it

The graphic and sound is quite good ^^

Such a lovely game! I really really like the graphics: the whale, the bubbles, the background, the enemies... It's so simple, but so cute! Great Job!

I'm not really sure If I understood that shop or what it was on the level end, but I managed to get somehow far even without it :) Nice little shooter!

Graphically it works super well !!!! Make ennemies less bullet spongy, more popcorn, and this is good to go ^^

This is delightful! I’m not entirely sure how some of the powerups work, but I had a great time regardless. Very cute, cohesive art style, very old school. I love the intense green on bubbles, and the bright colors in general. Also glad someone else made a shmup for the jam!

The difficulty ramps up pretty fast, and I'm not great at these kinds of games, so I didn't get very far haha But overall, it's a pretty good game.

Classic concept, can't go wrong with that. Really like the visuals, VHS, and parallax bubbles, nicely done!
