I wonder if fish actually do think they are getting a warm bath before they go into my tummy.

Anyhoo I love this game, especially the utterly baffled expression on the fat fish. The music and SFX are top notch, I only wish that you could decrease the noise effect on the game (although I did like it)

Excellent job overall!

That was really fun and well-made!

My only criticism is that the moving fish force you to wait in a rather fast-paced platformer where you shouldn't take a long break.

Great visuals and controls and a pleasantly challenging platformer! Sometimes I felt like the rising water came a little too quickly, but maybe that's just a skill issue lol. But one of the best presented games, and really fun too! Good job!

I agree that the mushroom RNG was not my favourite but I still had fun with it. And I liked the style and sound. Great job!

Music was super cool and chaotic which fit the frantic nature of the game well, was able to finish with all 8 pearls. Nice game!

Fun game with banger soundtrack! Couldn't finish it though because of the controls sadly, platforming on keyboard and mouse tend to be hard.

I love it!  Great music visuals, I understood how to play immediately.  Great entry!

Developer

thank you for playing!

Really good game, one of my favourites so far! Could not finish it because I get frustrated easily, so these kind of games are not my cup of tea. Personal preferences aside, your team made a fantastic job and deserve praise!

Nice visuals! Didnt manage to complete it, but I had fun playing it :)
I also like the audio a lot

Submitted(+2)

very fun and very challenging! The one thing I would say is the fuzzy vfx started to hurt my eyes after a while of playing which kinda limited my play time but other than that great game!

Really quite fun game! Takes a while to get into it first though, but after you got used to the characters movement, you can really start to take off like steam :D

My heart is pounding!! Once you get to the crispy celery... it gets super intense. By FAR the most frustrating part was the mushroom RNG, since i not only had to push my platforming skills to the limit... I also had to get lucky. On the flip side, I had a few sections that damage boosting off a lucky mushroom helped me get to the checkpoint! So that was kind of fun as well... but definitely ruined more runs than it helped. I think having them fall at very explicit moments would help a lot for memorizing the perfect platforming path. Cus this game is really fun! The physics felt a little bit floaty at first, but once I got used to it, it felt really nice to control. Everything is very responsive and the wall jumping felt fantastic. At the very end I had a REALLY good run on my first attempt and it was quite satisfying to feel like I got better over the course of my playthrough. Excellent work! The music fit the vibe of this game really well, and I love all of the visuals. Really unique and fun style!

A fun challenging platformer. RNG nature of mushrooms feels weird in a skill based game like this, but other than that, pretty solid gameplay. Intro was good and style is nice. 

Managed to beat it, but missed one pearl somewhere. Great job!

thanks for suffering through the mushrooms and beating it ๐Ÿ™

Very polished and fun. It took me about 30 minutes to win ':D Challenging but rewarding gameplay! Love the art style.

Developer

Wow! thanks for investing the time and seeing it to the end! :D

Really fun and challenging! The mushroom RNG is really annoying as they can often fall down into the areas that I next need to bounce off of. This game is really amazing and I love the real-life footage of the intro :D

A solid, fun game! The mushrooms were a little annoying on the RNG, but the mechanics are simple and the movement is fluid. I really like the creativity of everything, too! Vegetables are used as terrain and aquatic creatures are used as obstacles.

The music is quite nice, but it gets repetitive after a few minutes. Visually, it is very nice looking. All of the sprites have a ton of polish and everything looks alive.

Overall, a very nice game!

P.S., I played in Firefox, and the game worked perfectly. Not sure what bug you are referring to.

Developer

great glad you liked it! Did the real footage intro play fine? For me it wouldn't work in firefox

That's an impressive game to have done in a game jam. I was smiling the whole time. The intro is nuts and the effects are really adding to the visuals. Good job!

Took me ~15 minutes to finish the game with all 8 pearls. I will say that it is really good, and very well polished. I will say one thing. The mushrooms are such an annoying game mechanic. If they were intended to be so frustrating, then developer, you did a really good job. The mushrooms became the "enemy" that made me lose the most.

As a platformer, there isn't much for me to critique. You did well with the movement, the wall jumps were handled excellently, and the jumps felt constant and natural. My other small complaints was that the pufferfish collision was weird at first, but then I got used to it. There was one really frustrating section with the moving fish and three sea urchins that got me stuck for a while, and I almost gave up until I saw the "almost free" text.

Developer(+1)

good job! Yes the mushrooms are insanely annoying, and caused me alot of grief, there was even more of them for alot of my testing.

I imagine you are one of the few people who will actually beat it, so thanks for sticking it out ๐Ÿ˜

I love this game! the intro was a super funny addition. I was a bit annoyed by the platforms though. Its kinda hard to see where the standable area is.

Submitted(+2)

Wow this game is very satisfiying

Developer

Submitted(+1)

Developer

I played it! the way the fish launched from the water was really fun and satisfying.
