I liked the game. I had to get used to the mechanics, but after that, I had a lot of fun and completed many levels, until the one that begins near the ship and where the ground rises. Well done!
I had a lot of fun playing through this! And the ending 'boss' level was challenging but fun! I really like the mechanics of the bubble and the flame, took me a minute to find out you aim it with the mouse haha. The only thing I didn't like was the colliders on the jellyfish, sometimes it got a bit tricky and frustrating trying to jump onto them or sliding off of them. Very good game guys!
challenging game! Like others said I like how you set the brightness depending on the depth. Nice work!
I like how the game gets brighter and brighter the closer you get to the surface. A fantastic platformer, well done.
Thanks for sharing with the stream! Here's the VOD of your game: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2255286225?t=00h53m41s
I was caught off guard by this one. I saw some cool jelly fish art and stuff, thought it might be an interesting game, but I was blown away. First off, the animation and movement is so fluid (yeah). It was pretty fun to navigate around. The only thing that tripped me up a little was that sometimes it felt like my jump wasn't going high enough, but other times it was fine.
The build up of different types of mechanics worked very well and had a nice pace to it. They were pretty fun to try to master. I did have to stop part way. The green flame that you use with right click didn't work so well on my laptop track pad. I'm going to try playing again when I have my mouse.
The music combined with the nicely lit atmosphere and interesting filter made for a great underwater aesthetic. Well done!
Thanks for playing! The green flames start on level 9
What an incredible game! The level of polish is incredible, the music is great and the variety of mechanics engages the player from start to finish! The last level is so difficult though! No room for error ^^
Very fun and challenging game, I liked the epic music for the last level I felt that it really enhanced experience. I felt that the game was very engaging and kept the player interested by having a variety of mechanics. A fun little bug i found is that you can ignore the bubble streams by holding down the glid button(space). Overall a very fun game.
Nooo you figured out our bug
It was the last thing I had to fix but was too lazy to do it
This game has the best soundtrack of all the games from all the game jams I've played so far. And only a few commercial games have better music. Really, congrats on that. I can see myself listening to it when I work or want to focus on something. My favourite was the first one, it had nice mix between calm and dark.
The atmosphere is incredible as well. Movement feels fluid and the artstyle nicely fits with the music.
My only complaint is about the last level. There are no checkpoint, or at least they are really far from each other so I wan't able to reach some. It's such a shame because the rest of the game is amazing, sometimes quite hard, but saves on earlier levels saves the day.
Also jumping on that jellyfish were sometimes clunky, because colliders didn't really fit with the sprite.
But rest of the game is super cool and I had a lot of fun playing it.
Good job.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the soundtrack :)
I really liked the light mechanic of the game and the platforming puzzles are really good! i dont know if it’s intentional but one issue i found was that the colliders didn’t match the sprits other than that it is a really good game!
Great atmosphere. Some very "Animal Well" vibes. The sounds/music were great, the animations were great and the level designs were challenging. Great work! Congrats and good luck!!
Very nice level and game design, I am the ocean game person and the atmosphere gets me there. Very relax and good job guys !
I am in love with the atmosphere and jellyfish mechanics! The illustrator team did a really great job. It proved that it is possible to create a work that is enjoyable to watch and play without using overly detailed characters. The gameplay is very smooth and original ☺ ♥
Super relaxing theme tho chalanges are a little bit hard for me as non big platformer player. Great game with good atmosphere!
Really great atmosphere. The last level is not easy. My one gripe is that I had gotten comfortable using both hands on the keyboard and then I had to go and get a mouse when you introduced the green flame mechanic, so I had to relearn the bubble mechanic. Really though, that wan't much of a problem. Great game.
Very easy to rate, 5 stars. I wasn’t sure at the first encouter, but the jellyfish were really a good mechanism. Great job.
Great game! Love bubble, remind me of celeste fused with animal well bubble wand
This game is awesome! I absolutely adore the movement in both gameplay and aesthetic, well done!
The visuals and the movements were pretty smooth, great entry gameplay was fun.
Really cute, really fun game! The artstyle is really really good for this short of a time, reminds me somewhat of animal well (I haven't played it though so maybe im wrong lol) and the gameplay is really simple but fun! I think some of the levels rely too much on simply looping them and I didn't know how it fit the theme until I read your answer to it, but otherwise really good! One of the games i had the most fun with in this jam!
