How does your game represent "Slick"?
When you fail it creates an oil slick in the ocean

Pretty hard for me since the dolphins can hit so fast. Looked super cool each time I restarted. I got farther and farther each time too! This was nicely done.
I did, indeed, f!@# up another platform.
good stuff! love the art and overall concept.
I do agree with some others that the difficulty scaling could be a bit more forgiving.
fun game!
I like the idea and it's a good game for a gamejam
Great visuals and presentation. It's difficult to hit the dolphins, it might feel better if the harpoon moved faster or you could fire more often, but it is pretty satisfying to hit a long range snipe. Good to see another oil spill type game
Loved the art style, especially the parallax background. (Gee i wonder if there’s any other parallax themed games in this jam teehee) The gameplay was fun and intuitive, tho I do feel its a bit too punishing. it feels like if you miss a dolphin once, its GG. Perhaps if there was a difficulty scaling where the first bit would be just jellyfish or something similar. But all together well made!
The Dolphins were so hard to deal with! I would recommend maybe putting a visual bar for how often you can shoot. the long cooldown plus being unable to see it made it a little unintuitive at first. Really great background art and art with the animals.
Really cool concept with a reasonable amount of depth to it! Sadly I was far too good at getting things slick :(
Cool game and a setting I haven't seen before. Literally very slick. The dolphins are OP.
Well done with this game.
I feel like the fish attack way too fast and hard as soon as you put your pipe down.
Like the others have said you really have to just only do fishing at the start until you can spam out workers, and it is a bit hard to know how well you are doing because you have no idea how much damage you are taking vs how much your workers are repairing until you lose.
Overall I had a good time and think you have done a really nice job :)
This is a great game I wish had just a little bit more polish, like seeing the health of the pipe/platform would be great. Also at the current state the game suggests you should not start pumping oil until you have lots of workers and upgraded weapons enough. So the tactic seems to be investing into fishermen, increasing the profits, then upgrading the weapons, then when you feel confident move everybody to repair pipe and pray.
But I am writing such a long comment only because I loved the game and I wish there was a full version of it, I’d play the hell out of it!
It’s also done greatly with good sound, decent graphics and intuitive controls. Good job!
Haha, glad you enjoyed it! One could argue the slickest platform is a fishing platform :)
That was a bit too slick for me lol.
It took me a minute to understand what I was even doing.
But once I did I got bum rushed so hard lmfao.
nice even though it quickly gets too easy and I'm not sure I understood every mechanics
