Voting is now closed.

You can now vote on what theme you want to see here: https://tally.so/r/kdeV2r

Please leave theme suggestions here! Voting will commence later.

(you can also do this in the jam Discord server, however it’s on high alert due to spam bots and requires a phone number so I thought I’d give putting it on here a try)

Theme suggestion will close on January 17th, then voting will begin!

Something else to consider would be adding some way to specify page breaks, like treating *** or —, or two lines of them as a page break, though there isn’t any markdown specifically for that

I love throwing dead people so this game appeals to me greatly

There’s no rules against it but I’d be careful cause it’s unlikely many people will be able to try it out and vote accordingly

You can use Lua or C, and don’t need a console to program for it as the SDK includes a simulator (though I’d be careful about doing too much at once cause performance isn’t the same in sim vs on console).

All the info and stuff is at https://play.date/dev/

I’ll take a look when I’m home, thanks!

this is a really neat idea and it’s really fun to try and guide these guys around, I imagine they all make the sound of Brombus when they run around

This game was not made for Playdate and does not appear to follow the jam theme, thus, it has been disqualified.

It’s too bad to hear sales weren’t great, this looks really well done and like something I’d enjoy! I got it years ago in a bundle but honestly I’m more than willing to buy it at some point on Steam as I’m sure I’ve gotten well worth my $5 for the charity bundle

This is a pino prime hater friendly zone

Hey! I sent out in an email a bit ago that you could go to an assets.possiblyaxolotl.com link to get the jam page media for your videos, streams, games, game pages, etc. but I’m actually gonna be removing assets.possiblyaxolotl.com as it seems unnecessary with what I currently have and I’d like to clean some stuff up. From now on if you would like to get any of the jam assets for whatever you do, get them at https://wiki.possiblyaxolotl.com/fishfest#assets. Thanks!

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!

I really like how instead of just killing enemies like usual in this type of game you still have to doge and avoid them, even after they’re floating up. Really creative, nice!

Thank you! I honestly think it could be fun to have some sort of goofy campaign like in what the golf

Thank!

Thank!

Thank you! I’m actually thinking some sort of goofy story campaign like what the golf could be interesting

If you participated you can vote freely, otherwise you have to vote for 5 itch chooses with low amounts of ratings before you can vote freely

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

really fun and I absolutely love the winding track in the background

If there was a cash prize I would advertise it, but I don’t have PayPal or any way to give out one if I wanted to. It’s all for fun, experience, and to get valuable feedback on your games

This feels like the game jam equivalent of buying reviews. People have to rate most games cause itch requires those who didn’t submit to vote on 5 low rated games before they can vote freely, don’t manipulate the system like this.

If you wanna do a late submission or accidentally submitted the wrong thing or something, email fishfest@possiblyaxolotl.com with a link to your game’s itch page. I won’t respond immediately as I’m currently in the hospital for potentially breaking my nose but I will probably have all of tomorrow off to add your games lol

Try to keep late submissions to at max a day or 2.

I’ve never encountered that, after someone gets 5 points one should win and if it goes over 5 rounds there shouldn’t be anything stopping it, I’ll look into it

No, I’m considering nsfw more like extreme gore or lewd content

understandable

fish

fish there’s the bast rules but they’re mostly just like, no nsfw, that kind of stuff

Correct

Generally AI art is noticeable but it’s more of an honour thing, like it wouldn’t be very nice to. I’d say it’s fine to use as inspiration for your drawings or whatever, and I can’t like track that or anything, but keep it out of the final product
