How does your game represent "Slick"?
I interpreted slick as in slippery and in my mind the slickest animal is a fish. I designed the movement to feel slick/slippery but not annoying(hopefully)

Honestly the realistic fish + that slap sound effect was hilarious and made me instantly engaged. Everything feels polished and I was surprised how great the fish feels to mess around with. Great work :)

Submitted

Simple effective and within the theme. nice job man! :)

Submitted

I love the sound effects--especially that fish slap sound. Great entry, congrats! 

Submitted

This is awesome, so satisfying to control the fish. Might be the slickest game of the jam in terms of controls and game feel. I could see this going far as a climbing rage game like getting over it. Well done!

Submitted

peaaaaaaaaaaak. this is how you make a slick game. best song of the jam.

Submitted

I love the physics of the fish so much, really makes you feel slick, especially with the sfx. There was a blue tint to the screen at some point which made it hard to see. Great work, very charming

Submitted

Okay this game is so peak. I love the flopping fish and sound effects and music. Such a great atmosphere. I laughed out loud the first time the spear fish caught me mid air after I strayed too far left in the ocean. 

Submitted

A true slick fish type game, respect

Submitted

Top fish game this jam
I liked the integration of the theme, I also thought it was an innovative approach to make the player stay slickly in place to complete the goal, that's quite a lot cooler than just hitting the goal especially in a game where the struggle is to stay still, good stuff!

bro i love games that lean on physics, this was fun and i for sure can see myself playing this on my phone for hours when i have an errand or somethings.

Very nice fish physics and sounds. Also gross (in a good way). I think the restart could have been instant instead of holding the button. You have packed the game with so many levels of slippery goodness. Well done!

Submitted

A very fishy fish sounding fish. A simple but very fun and funny platformer!

Submitted

Loved the ragdoll physics on the fish! The slippery fish sound effects really drove it home. THe mountain level where you have to balance your fish at the peak was the hardest!

Submitted

the mechanic is very goofy, really enjoyed it :))

Submitted

Really funny game! 

Submitted
