game feels so smooth and juicy, the artstyle feels so soothing to the eyes... gameplay is pretty simple, but complete. you could easily add more features and mechanics, but for what it is... its pretty solid ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

Nice game! I managed to sneak on to the leaderboard with 708! I had a run with 6000 but then I got super unlucky lol. 

Only piece of feedback is that it's very hard to type my name in the box because it starts with A, which causes the game to start. Also my name is just 1 character over the limit.

But great work! Super chill! 

Developer

Just added the last character of your name onto the leaderboard :) Thank you for playing ❤️

Great job! The game feels and looks amazing. All the little details (the bubbles, the sound design, etc...) really make for a great playing experience :D 

Like another commenter said, this is extremely luck-based so there's not much incentive to try to "do better", but for a jam game it works very well. I didn't get insanely lucky like others but I still played a few games and had fun!

Well done!

Developer

Thank you, glad you had fun :D

The art and music style was cohesive and appealing, awesome game presentation. The controls were incredibly intuitive and felt great.

A nitpick about the map is that I didn’t realize I could swim through the floor until a coin appeared there.

Swimming through the map and having clams appear on your sprite tended to feel bad. It felt like I was swimming towards a coin and an event happened that I couldn’t know about meant I loss agency as a player.

The RNG on the clams boon vs. bust probability felt off. On two play throughs, more than half my clams were negative both runs. I notice the high scores were far beyond what I was able to get, which is only possible if the clams are usually beneficial. My guess is that the RNG differs depending on what system the player plays on (Windows, Linux, Mobile, etc). Something to look at.

Last piece, assuming I just had atypical bad luck with clams, comparing my score of ~50 max to the other high scores, that means the coins are pretty inconsequential compared to getting good luck on the clams. If your score is completely determined by luck, then it removes player agency, which isn’t fun.

The game has a great look and feel, definitely it’s strong point. Great work!

Very interesting concept and lovely art! You did a great job there. Also, for some reason, I can't type my name :c (or any word that contains wasd). Anyway, good game!
