This game is super fun and cute! I love the artstyle and the entire concept of the game (:
Giant koi-pocalypse is certainly a great premise!! Great work y'all! This is a pretty awesome little arcade game. Makes me think a bit of the flea juggle from Silksong (which I'm aware takes influence from other games but this is the only one that came to mind rn)
Love the art, played smooth, and I really dig the intro arcade machine!
great concept! well made, keep up the good work!!
Loved the concept, well made! Congrats.
Fun game! Took a bit of time to get used to the controls and how to hit the fish but after a while it was better!
I need to know how you guys came up with this idea :D
Very fun game!
There a story. Roburad wanted fish, I wanted baseball. He put koi, I put LA Dodgers, and thus our game was born. As we kept adding and adding, features, movements, animations, we were what is called, The Flow. Then at the end, I added a scoreboard, to represent a true retro game, you noticed we has 23 seconds left for submission, well WE WANTED A NEW FEATURE IN PLACE, THE DUST CLOUDS YOU SEE THAT WAS THE LAST MINUTE FEATURES, AND THAT TOOK ME 20 MINUTES. We submitted, there were bugs, there were errors, but we finished the game.
Very noice concept and very fun game to play!
There's a lot to love about this game. I particularly enjoy the presentation as an arcade game with audio/sound design that is better than most entries I've seen so far. Super nice and simple game that I'm looking forward to returning to. Damn dem fishes
The sound guy here- Thank you so much! Everything you hear was recorded and designed using real hardware rather than digital emulation. I used a Roland SC-55 for the music and a Behringer SY-1 for all the sound effects. Additionally, none of the SFX were processed once recording so the sounds you hear are all raw /live sound design performances rather than being altered or edited in a post-edit!
thanks for sharing your process. sounds really interesting, especially the part about using the raw stuff. makes it even more impressive since you have to make it sound good from the getgo
Ok, I don't know much about Baseball.. but there are flying fish... I have a bat... I know what to do! What a fun, addicting game! *SLAM* Captures the old school weird game designs I know from childhood! Well done! And a freaking leaderboard... wooaah... this is great! :)
