Amazing visuals! It was a bit hard to tell what was going on, though

Submitted

Very beautiful, attractive graphics. I think the game has potential for development. The only thing missing is sound.

Submitted

Really interesting visuals, they look hand-drawn and it really pops :)

Submitted

Funny visuals. As others have already said here, it has a lot of potential, would definitely work on it post-jam. Also, consider implementing sound, it may not seem as important as the game mechanics or level design but it gives any piece of media so much soul (as well as setting the game's tone). Keep up the good work, mate!

Submitted

I think this could be a really cool game! I'm not sure if the art style was because of the time constraint, but if that was the case I would definitely keep it! I really enjoyed how it looks, reminded me of a kids book. I think people have said already but the gameplay is a bit hectic, I can see the vision though!

Submitted

The gameplay here is a solid foundation for an idle/clicker game, and I could see it having good potential to be expanded into a full game. The artstyle is also very distinctive. However, the controls are a bit clunky to handle, even once I figured them out. Maybe you could have the diver move with a separate mouse button from that used to attack fish or repel the octopus?

really cool art style, well done!

Submitted

like others here, I LOVE the art style, but was not understanding how to play :P

Developer

ahah yes I should have copied the desciption to the jam page.

It's a clicker game, but also the gameplay is incomplete, there is no goal or losing condition, I keep making that mistake.

I don't like losing in games, I like a game you play forever till you are done or bored.

Next time I'll do it much better

Submitted

I love games that look like they've been torn from a sketchbook in jams. I can see this in the other games you've made, and I'm impressed by your dedication. 

Although the gameplay is a bit confusing, the idea behind it is great.

Refik you looked at my games, that's so sweet. Thank you forever

I always start the games with the visuals, it comes to me and I draw it, then once all the characters and scenes are done I implement.

I still need to investigate sound design, I like your style too. What software do you use to make the sound effects?

Next jam I'll be much much better :)

Submitted

Hey, thank you. I don't know which software because my friend oliver did all the sounds, if you want to ask him about this, here's his discord: @olivermena.ae
I'll tell him about you, so he'll know who you are.

Developer(+1)

Roger that I'll ask him (my discord @eletrolite)

Thank u, u're the best

If you have no experience related to sound in general, don't be afraid to use free assets from somewhere else, but do consider learning sound design.

Submitted

The style is very interesting, looks like a painting, but I don't understand the gameplay

Developer

hahaha thank you

you know when you make something and it's so clear cause you've been in your head

yeah you approach the fish to capture it and you click the swimmer to capture it, I added that cryptic tutorial instruction but I think it needs some work

I'll be much better next time :)

Submitted

game looks great but a little bit confusing

Developer(+1)

You are right, I get it now, there is no clear game loop or goal. I enjoy this atmospheric no kill experience but it is kinda boring after 5mins.

I'll spend more time thinking about objectives next jam

Submitted

Interesting idea, but the lack of audio and unclear controls do harm the experience. Spear fishing doesn't work, so I'd recommend you delete the animation for it. Art looks great though!

Developer

Thank you I have a lot of fun drawing :), my flow always starts with the concept and feel. I think this game is shelved for now but I agree that unused animations are misleading

Submitted

nice clicking game! Just one thing (it may be me who just  can't get it right) but click on the character when the octopus comes should make a sound from my understanding, however, I cannot hear anything? When should the sound be working?

Developer

great idea, i really want sound but don't know what software to use.

I think a nice instrumental elevator music fits here and some funny sound effects, what would you recommend?

These would be two websites I could think of that has good things for you. elevator music could add comedy to it haha

Then if you want to change any sounds or special effects or make your own, Audacity works very well. It does a lot of things. I made all my music and SFX with Audacity apart from the piano piece I made which I played myself.
