lol great ending
Thanks :)
Oh no... (An ingame reference)
The game is very charming and I can tell you put some love and care into the game, especially with how the fish changes throughout the game. This feels like a fancy version of Fishy, a browser game I played as a kid.
Overall I had a good time and even if the graphics aren't very good, the charm of the game will have me coming back for more.
Nice game, keep it up.
Thanks! Yeah, we had a lot of fun making this game, and we're glad that shows through :) You're right, this game was inspired by the Fishy game. Unfortunately graphics is the comprise for being able to play in browser. We program in unreal engine, which lets us do some pretty cool 3D stuff, but lighting, volumetric fog, etc. suffers when packing for HTML5. We have a few other projects on the go right now, but are definitely planning on revisiting this and giving the graphics an overhaul, especially now that we aren't constrained by the timer of a game jam :D
this is so cool there needs to be a sequel especially with the mystery upgrade
Thank you so much for the kind comment, it made our day :)
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to comment, but can we ask that you please don't spoil the ending for other players. Thanks :)
How do i download?
At the moment there isn't a downloadable version, just the online one. Are you having trouble loading it in browser?
I played it to the end and was not disapointed!
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
