Really fun game! The art looks wonderful and I really like the tension that builds up when you go deeper. Other than maybe a wider variety of upgrades or smoother movement (you swam faster when going diagonal) the game was very interesting and enjoyable to play!
Amazing work! The art is pretty good, sweets perfect witch the music and the environment. If you press more than one movement key (i.e. left and down), velocity increases double, idk if it's a bug, but that makes easier scaping from groups of fish.
I love the art style of this game, Its really fun with all the upgrades and makes me want to keep trying for a higher score. I do think the invincibility upgrade could be improved to be something that appears every once in a while or be a chance to ignore damage. Otherwise it is quite fun to play.
Very cool game! Art style is perfect, music is relaxing and the upgrades are a good idea. It's funny when all the deep water fish start migrating upwards :D Maybe the hitboxes could be just for mouths? Sometimes it doesn't feel fair when I just get hit by a tiny part of the body. Other than that I really enjoyed this game!
Cool concept and a game I really enjoyed playing. I found the upgrade system to be fun and made me always risk staying deep for more upgrades. If you want to make this into a full game after, I'd suggest making the ocean bigger to have more room to explore, and to make some creatures actually follow and chase you rather than swimming back and forth. Had tons of fun tho!
Very enjoyable! I liked how the deeper you went the louder the music got, helping to build tension. I think the gameplay got stale after a bit, and having more impactful upgrades or more unique upgrades could help with increasing replayability. There weren't really any upgrades I got that changed my playstyle, maybe if they did more (i.e. the speed upgrade made you a lot more faster than it does, or the invincibility has a less strong but permanents effect making it a lot more viable. The art was nice and did a got job of conveying the mood, even with the surprising mishmash of styles. I think the hitboxes were a little unfair, what seemed like clear near misses to me still damaged me. It's much more fun for the player to have a more generous hitbox, giving more satisfying escapes. Overall, great job!
Great game, probably one of the most fun I've played in this jam. Well done.
There is an issue when you replay and lose the score screen just freezes on display, the leaderboard never opens.
All in all, a great submission.
Very relaxing and enjoyable to play! I really like the upgrade system. My only recommendation would be to have more rules for which upgrades you can choose from. For example, I had to choose between adding 1 HP or adding 1/2 HP, which is a no brainer. Besides that, this was very fun and you did a great job!
Something about the lowest layer makes it so much more unnerving than It has any right to be. Very atmospheric.
The gameplay is simple but nice, it kinda reminds me of Vampire Survivors. I also love the visuals. I really like how it gets darker when you go deep, it's a nice touch.
Im a fish, you're a fish lets play each other's game and set highscores!
The art was awesome!! I love the angler fish especially. Really caught me by surprise at first how big and scary it was! The game was very immersive, nice lighting effect the deeper you go down.
With the gameplay, I think the hit boxes could be a little more fair though, cus I got full damage just from barely touching his antennae one time, so his hit box really covered a lot of space.
But overall Really nice game!
