Thanks for trying it and for your feedback! Yeah, the art and music were all me. That's what I was going for with Open Pond, I'm glad a few people saw the vision haha 

And props to the both of us for being first-timers and submitting games! I hope to see your name in the next one.

Congrats on your first game, Brandon! I really liked your art, animations, and game design... all really solid! It took my brain a moment to catch on that it was about survival, but once I did it was really challenging and engaging. My high score was 2992. I hope you keep up with the game development!

Great work ProgrammerOnCoffee, and congratulations! I went back and played a couple of your previous games and can see how strong your art style and UI are. I loved your take on the theme and found myself playing this at length. I hope to see more of your work in the future!

Thanks ProgrammerOnCoffee, I appreciate the feedback!

Ethan, thank you! Yeah that's me playing guitar, I thought something mellow (at least at the beginning) felt fitting. Your addition is a great idea - I originally had it but felt the screen was too busy, when in reality I probably just needed a smaller font... I appreciate all the work you did to make this game jam happen! It being my first one, I couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable experience, and I already can't wait for the next.

Thanks Pavelee, I appreciate your feedback!

Pavelee great work - the spin you took on the theme, I wish I had thought of this. The art and level design were solid! I really like the dash animation. I hope you keep making more games!

Wow this is awesome, really great work HasH. The simpler art style, the rotation, the movement mechanics and the puzzle design - so good! I hope you keep making more games.

Your art and animations, the title - so good! Adding controller support was really cool too. It was a lot of fun, once I realized my constantly dying was a skill issue

I loved the art and voice acting, and the control menu at the bottom was a really cool addition! I want more Duck, Doug, and Gus adventures.

Whoa! Great work! It feels like a fully polished game: the wave system, the UI, the effects, the vending machines, everything... I was pleasantly surprised when I could swim and jump across the pond.
