Loved the wall reflection mechanic! Also great job on visualising it. Great animations and great art. Couldn't hear the sounds but I'm not sure if game has any or am I the problem.
But totally a great idea and design, great job!

It's a very fun game with a cool take on the "reflection" theme. The controls could use some work, but it's great that you were able to achieve this much on your very first game jam. Great work!

Neat idea! I like how walrus flatten himself before launching the plate! Very cute!

Submitted

Nice job for your first jam! 


I liked the angles you could shoot things in, cool stuff, I wonder where you could take this if you worked on it more. 

Also, ironically full screening my game made it so I couldn't see the fish or the plate at all LOL. I guess its resolution dependent rn.

I can see this turning into a very cool and satisfying puzzle game!

Quick fun mechanic with some nice pixel art. Would've felt so much cozier with just a song and a couple of sfx. Also if you run out of fish there's no kind of restart/end.

I loved how the character was throwing things with their belly, it was so cute!

Amazing art! Especially the way the ice breaks I loved it! 
I would really love to see the music and sounds effect you were planning on implementing!

I didn't understand anything

Really good pixel art

Very nice entry for your first game jam ✨

It's a simple but fun and effective concept with a cute art style.

Well done 🌈

Hey, good one for a first game jam :D

At first I didn't quite saw the plate, but then I had fun! :) Good idea to leave the hole after to make it more difficult. I think I did 6 succesfull hit :)

Submitted

I liked the idea of serving food like a mini-billiards table. Unfortunately, I couldn't get all the fish to hit the target, and the game just stopped there :(

Submitted

Really liked it, a billiards/pool type system with a board that get's harder and harder! Just needs some kind of end detection

Thanks for playing! Had made all the assets for end screens but we ran out of time. The logic was for each delivered fish to provide currency, and you end each day after running out of stock. Before the next day starts you would then purchase more fish stock with money made &/or purchase hole filling + decorations. Lessons learnt from first jam!

Overscoping and prioritization is definetly a big struggle in jams. It's a fun game though, even without being finished! Found myself playing it multiple times

Submitted

Nice rebound system!

Thank you!
