BRO, A WHALE SWIMMING THROUGH SPACE TO GET HOME?! ๐๐๐๐
This is such a ridiculous idea in the best possible way! The moment you ask โwhatโs the longest way home?โ and end up with a space whale, you already know the game is going to have personality. The movement feels like a great fit for the concept, and dodging asteroid debris while shooting your way through space makes for a simple but really fun gameplay loop. The opening cinematic, lighting, whale animation, and especially the voice/audio work give the whole thing a lot of charm.
For improvement, I think the biggest opportunity is more variety during the journey. Different asteroid patterns, new space hazards, or a few new enemy types could keep the gameplay fresh for longer. It would also help to make sure incoming obstacles are always visible, since larger debris can sometimes block the camera and make it difficult to react in time. A little optimization and audio balancing would also polish an already strong presentation.
SUCH A FUNNY, CHARMING, AND MEMORABLE JAM GAME! ๐๐๐ ๐ฅ 60 HOURS AND YOUR FIRST UNREAL JAM EXPERIENCE TURNED INTO A SPACE WHALE JOURNEY — AWESOME WORK! GOOD LUCK WITH THE JAM! ๐ฎโจ
