Cute squid game! reaally liked the art and level design

Submitted

The level design are really creative and the art is very cute. Very nice game :)

the idea is very good, but the main problem for me is that it's very slow, it gets old fast, other than one small problem i think it has great execution

I really like the sound effects!! All bubbly and aquatic, really nicely fit the setting. Overall a nice game!

Really interesting take on the theme. I like the zooming mechanics a lot, feels good to use but also using it strategically to make sure to pick up keys and clocks works well. Only main gripe was having to press to move while not zooming, wish I could just hold and move automatically haha

Wow this was very fun, the game is so adorable!! Also the dashes really reminded me of tomb raiders lol. I love this game great job!

Nice, the puzzles are well designed and the art is pretty good! But maybe make it so that you can hold to move instead of repeatedly pressing the key its kinda tedious.

I loved the puzzles, art, and sound design. the mechanics that your team introduced are very interesting and I'm sure could make it to a full game with a few tweaks and a lot more puzzles.

One small thing: perhaps consider making it so the players walk animation happens a little quicker, I gave up on the "take your time" puzzle because the trek back to the purple movement block takes forever.

Wow, the mechanics are really unique and well executed. And the squid is so adorable! I enjoyed the game a lot ^^

Very good game. My dad recommended it to me after playing it. He loved the eureka moment it brought me.

Really fun! I had a great "Ah ha!" moment in the level "the key". The speed run sections were cool, and I liked how the time you built up served a different purpose in that part of the game. Also, I the music was great! Awesome work all around : )

the squid is super cute. I didn’t realize at first that the timer is based on the squid boosts so I was stuck for a bit and then realized oh this is really cool. Great little puzzle concept. The squid mechanics felt really fun especially since the squid can only move very slow normally. I felt powerful zooming around them maps. Good job

Developer(+2)

yeah, it might be worth me adding some visual + maybe sound effect for time decreasing on dash

ty for playing, just watch out for where you’re zooming to >w<

I like the explosion effect, it adds a lot lol

Awesome puzzle game! Well done!

The artstyle is so cool, but the animations of the character are wonderful :)  it is s  funny game

Submitted(+2)

Really challenging puzzles, liked it. Artstyle is charming. Evil level was, indeed, evil. And inspired me to become more evil on my levels.

Developer(+1)

mmm evil levels :3

Love the art style and a cool puzzle game!

Hey! really good game and mechanics I love to sound the octopus made when we finish the level :) I just didn't find the solution for the last level but the others one were cool!

Developer(+1)

yeah the last level is hard, if we continue after the jam, we might add a few harder levels before the final level to make it feel like less of a jump

thank tohru for the completing level sound >w<

Submitted(+2)

I really love the art style of the game. Also love the mechanic of this game. It’s very interesting and I think it works really well. Although level 2 and 5 require some thinking lol.

Developer(+1)

tyy, yeah those levels were tweaked quite a bit whilst regular dash counting down was being implemented

hope it was not too frustrating though >w<
