I don't know why this felt so violent. It kinda broke and there was no portal on the second level but I enjoyed playing. Nice job!
don't know why the movie 300 came to mind. Fun an cool art style.
The story is amazing! That ranged fish could probably be improved (I have no clue how to attack it while not taking damage), probably timed shots rather than randomized. The king fight, though simple, is fun, though I think it's quite dragged out and there is no way to know if you're dealing damage. But, although I have some nitpicks, this is quite a solid entry, nice job!
thanks! i actually planned more for the story but we had to cut the many parts of it, so i was very glad that the story aspect is still good in the end.
really nice game and story loved every part just a little tip for the boss give him another attack or make him move away and spawn enemies i think that would make him more dynamic but great job overall
thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
fun game. the fish quirrel animations on hiting were nice, maybe if the king had one like that it would register much nicer that we were hitting the king. overall solid game. good job.
As others have said, i wish there was a sound effect for hitting and getting hit for my reference, but this game was really fun! I liked the dashing mechanic and the inspiring tale!
That could have been a very inspiring movie plot!
thanks for the praise! i was inspired of the news of pets being abandoned during the COVID-19 lockdown while their owner is stuck somewhere else, then i ran wild with that idea
The game looks really pleasing. The color pallette gives a stylish look. The game could use some more juice because I wasn't sure if I was actually damaging the king. But overall, well done!
I like that there was lore before the game! I wasn’t sure if I was damaging the boss - is he killable?
Thank you! We have our fantastic writer to thank for that lore! The boss is killable, but can only be damaged after some time. Maybe we need to put more emphasis / indication on that. Thanks for the input and for playing our game!
very difficult, but I like it
It is the Dark Fish 😼
Thanks for playing our game!
Hey congratz! Your game is very nice!
I loved the art style, the gameplay is very fun and you also took the time to write a story around it, great. It was a nice discovery and I enjoyed playing it to the end boss. Personally, I think the difficulty was good.
The music is also nice and catchy .
The only thing I would improve is to add some sort of animation when you hit an enemy (and especially for the boss). When I was fighting the boss, I was not sure if I was hitting him or not.
Thank you for the kind words and for playing our game! We're glad you enjoyed it. Your suggestion about adding hit animations for enemies and the boss is great, we'll consider enhancing combat feedback to improve the experience. Thanks for the feedback!
The art style is nice, gameplay is pretty difficult to control. I think it was partly due to using a laptop initially, but when I plugged in a regular mouse it was still hard to control. I'm not really a try hard gamer but I can see those kind of people liking this more. xP
Thank you for commenting on our game! Yes, it is quite challenging; even I had a hard time reaching the boss. Thanks for your input!
