Cool game! It's difficult, I only made it a few water pools up, but I think it's mostly a personal skill issue. The physics felt a little weird sometimes and the controls took some getting used to, but besides that it was fun!
This is actually the first time I've seen a game where you play as the fish, and didn't expect a "rage game" genre in this jam but it's actually really really well done! In the beginning felt a little difficult to control (as to be expected) but I think if you could onboard the player somehow a little smoother to help them grasp the controls a little better, I think you have a nice game here!
Really hard game, I fell down all the way many times :D But it was fun, so I kept going for a good while :)
The physics felt really off sometimes, but it's fun when you get the hang of the controls. I was rotating my fish in and out of the pools. I got all but one human before dying in a blue pool. The damage felt unnecessary since it's already difficult enough climbing and you can fall all the way back down to the bottom. The art is cohesive, good work.
I usually don't play these type of games (because of my own skill issue lol) but I can appreciate this game for what it is and the effort you put into making it. The mechanics are really fun, and I got used to the controls, but I kinda agree with the others that the game gets a bit frustrating at times. I think I tortured my barracuda by hard landing on the rocks instead of the water xD That aside, you did a great job!
I found it to be a good challenge, and I like the unique art style!
Very impressive art/animation! I found the movement to be just a bit too frustrating to want to keep playing, but I do appreciate the ingenuity in the control scheme.
Very cool game, especially for a first game jam! Barracuda is the perfect choice of fish too, they look so scary underwater and much bigger. Oh and I found a bug where if you hit one of the blue pools on the right from below at the right angle the game bugs and thinks your in water and you can just fly around in the air c:
