I love the concept! The pixel art is wonderful, and it had a great aesthetic. The mechanics all worked well and its very good for a 3 day jam. one thing i would suggest is making it less rocky and wavy, i felt myself getting a bit seasick just looking at it! Other than that, wonderful little game.
I'd love to try! heres my game to try, have fun! https://jamesglaser.itch.io/something-fishy (edit: your game keeps crashing whenever i open it, any ideas why? corrupt file?)
Love this game! The graphics, music, sound effects, and simple controls make it really easy to pick up, and super difficult to put down! Huey is a really lovable character and the voice acting is impeccable. After getting a score of over 9000 the game seems a little repetitive and mostly RNG-based, though, so here are some suggestions!
I think the game would benefit from a different type of enemy late game (over 500 meters maybe) that is a bird with 360 vision or something like that, to add some spice. maybe make a fake bush that hurts you, which would be cool. as well, it would be cool to see a higher point value cricket to reward players who take risks. Getting caught in a bird's vision and then getting to safety could also give points, to reward risk-takers!
There are some technical issues like impassable logs and less than one-second mutation times, but I think the biggest one is the hearts go off the screen! this is a big hindrance when I'm playing late game and fixing it would be as simple as adding a second row.
Congratulations on winning the jam, you really deserve it! All of my feedback is purely my own opinions, none of this stuff is really urgent! I would love to see some more updates soon and long live Huey!!!
P.S. The score takes like 4 minutes to load at the end maybe make it a bit quicker!
P.P.S. Is there a pause menu I couldn't find one that would be super nice.
of course! sorry i never know if people will be offended by feedback. one thing i would improve is controls when someone doesn't have a mouse. the combination of clicking in 3 separate places at once made me die more than i should have. really not a big problem but without a mouse the trackpad makes it super difficult
this game is awesome! the mechanics work as advertised, the gameplay is smooth, and it is difficult! love this a lot and should definitely get more recognition!
thank you for your insightful feedback! we are working on making Harold slower and smaller, and yeah we have one or two unused sludge pipes we will be using later. I'm glad you like the lore and the game it was super fun to make!
love this game so much! i was very addicted and grinded to get the high score. my only issue is that you can keep going forever without hinderance and that just makes it a who can not mess up simulator. love the concept, it was executed well, would just love some more mechanics! good work!
pretty fun love the mechanics the purple guy is cracked tho. web version kinda weird, but super fun nonetheless. love the upgrade system, and the overall game is super addictive!
MANY things to love about this game: its cute graphics, great gameplay, addictive style, and sticking to the theme are all awesome!!! i have been addicted since i started playing. since you probably want feedback and not just praise, here is all of my supportive feedback: i found it hard to differentiate the ant bullets from my own teams, idk if that was intentional but it led to me dying many times without knowing why. i also think the balance of the mutations should be a little different. some of the mutations are absolutely insane like the corn, while the traffic cones kinda just sit there and kill a few things. a pause menu would also be fantastic,and maybe make it not impossible to survive past a certain point, because it just gets harder and harder, there's really no way to get a super high score. one final thing is maybe showing the kill count when you die so the streamers don't tie. overall amazing game and i would love to see some updates in the near future! I and really my entire team at Goodish Games hope you win this challenge! (all of this feedback is purely personal i don't really think it NEEDS all of it). Good luck! p.s. why is a tomato killing bees doesn't it want to be pollinated
This is a super chill, balanced, difficult game! i love it a lot! i really don't have any suggestions except for a few nitpicky ones like putting instructions in the description instead of in game and making the blobs gender-neutral (unless all of them really are male). awesome game and i had a lot of fun playing!
This game is so fun! I love all the mechanics and how hard it gets! the mutations took a while to understand, but they got interesting later in the game! I found it impossible to progress past the 1000 castle but I might not be skilled enough yet. the highest score I got was 785 but I think I could get higher. awesome game I hope you win! there are some graphical bugs on the laptop but it doesn't affect gameplay much, so I think it's fine. (also love the name lmao)
