How does your game follow the theme?
The "floor" is water.. with waves... also, there're a bit of enemy "waves" (if that counts hehe)
Did you use any pre-made assets? If so, credit them here:
"Choose Your Character" By HeatleyBros and "Pixellari" font. I also mention that in the game desc.

Where can I buy the full game? 🤩
wow that's so kind of youu!
Damn. Make sure you fix the bugs and work on this a bit more and you can make some easy $$$ when released. Was fun, but got frequent crashes. Also, I'd make sure the enemy damage you less. Great game idea!
wow thank youu!!
Awesome game! I really enjoy to play it! I like your art style.
PS. Browser game crashes frequently - I run it on Mozilla Firefox.
sorry for the crashes tho. thanks for playing!
it was fun
thank you!
This looks amazing. Cool wave effect. :O
Unfortunately the game is too difficult for me, I cannot beat the boss. Maybe it's the physics I cannot get used to no matter how much I tried. This does not mean it is bad. In fact, I like the physics as it felt really on water. I just have skill issues. :')
The sounds and music are good. But the bump sound seems louder. Overall this is sick. Well done.
the bump sfx is added in last minutes, so I didn't really adjust it hehe :,)
thanks for playing!

what a good game nice work
wow glad you think so!! thank you for playing the game!
The visuals and audio definitely carried this game. It's kinda weird though because I felt like it was meant to be pretty difficult, but with a cute aesthetics.
I figured out the "trick" to the gameplay is a sort of dash around and time your attacks thing, much like From Software games, which I'm no stranger to. But I do think the controls of the game diminish the experience a large bit since it was really hard to figure out what the character was doing and whether or not you had control etc. Coupled with a sort of weird bouncy physics and it's kinda chaotic and frankly frustrating to play.
The attack being bound to your current direction and coupled with a very slow turnaround creates a very unresponsive feeling for the controls.
wow a pretty long essay —that's cool!
and yeah, i was a bit worried that the control wasn't that great, sorry if it's frustrating hehe 😅
thanks for checking out!
Fun and good looking! I feel like a different control scheme would enhance the gameplay. If L/R were a rotational movement and U/D being forward/reverse would really help, especially since the enemies attack along the diagonals a lot.
yeah I think you're right :3
thank you for the feedback, and also for playing the game!
Great game! Very responsive and intuitive. Quite hard, and forces you to "Git Gud", and super enjoyable. Very crisp UI and general presentation!
thanks for the kind words!!
I don't know why I was getting stuck after dying...
It happened twice...
oh really? what a bummer :(
sorry I can't tell much either. thanks for playing the game!
I am using Opera Browser, haven't tried it on Chrome Browser...
I have to restart most of the times...
But using pixelated camera is really good...
Totally enjoyed it...
I was really bad at this game, but had fun anyway. It looked nice and sound was fitting. I really liked the options you had after dying. Do you want to play again, yes or yes :) Here is a video of my playing:
wow thanks for making a video 😚.. and for playing the game :)
Really nicely presented, but I couldn't get past the first boss - it doesn't seem possible to get close enough to hit him without getting rammed, and I only start with 3 HP so he kills me every time :(
haha it's meant to be pretty hard 😅 the trick is to dash a bunch until the right time to attack back, like:
game design is great. best i've seen this jam. does it go past wave 2?
Thanks for the kind words!
It does go past wave 2!
That's the final dude to beat!
oh, i wonder if i faced the same bug as that other person then. could just be i wasn't paying attention and i thought this was wave 2 so i'd take this bug report with a grain of salt
yeah it's a weird bug, though. I still have no idea what triggers it.
Smooth. but somehow my game freezed after defeating the boss at wave 2. It was fun and I liked the graphics.
Thank you!!
I just tested it several times and.. it's weird. It crashed once, but when I retried, nothing.. not a single crash. I've no idea what's wrong though.
But again, thanks for playing!
This is amazing, great job man!
thanks!!
Nice one! I like the physics of the water, and the sound design is very pleasant!
wow thank you!
