Really enjoyable setting for a vampire survivors game. I wonder if you could have scaled the salmon growing in size like Spore did with the cell stage. More fish related abilities would be fun to see. I think the game forced me to lose once the big pink fish started to spawn

Cool game, enjoyed playing. Would have loved to see a bit of object scaling and not just the fishes :P
Great job, I didn't have fish survivors on my bingo card! I do think in the future maybe a little more polish on the ui would be helpful as it's a bit hard to read at the moment.
I love the idea of this game, vampire survivors with a salmon is just what I needed in my life lol

Just the name is funny but being a fish killing other fish like what's going on ahah, it was really fun and simple to understand. Good job !
HAHA the bloodbath when i died was unexpected! Fun game, easy to move around, i found the text a bit hard to read when i earned bonuses (and i think there were too many different buffs from the get go which makes the learning curve a bit higher) but overall controls were simple, concept was fun and so many levels! Well done for 4 days :-)
Would appreciate you taking a moment to play and rate our game too before times up https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2024/rate/2914018
Thanks in advance!
Sick game!! Had a blast, teleport is the beeeesssttt
Frickin’ salmon with frickin’ laser beams on their heads, what’s not to love? This was super fun to play. The way the abilities and difficulty scaled felt very balanced. And the death animation is incredibly satisfying.
I mostly just stayed in the middle open area, there’s a few narrow channels, but I didn’t notice anything special about them. After dying a few times, I felt like the enemy waves were still very difficult? Not sure if that is a bug or just bad luck. I rebooted the game and ended up making it to about level 16. Nice work!
This is a very cool game, the abilities are very fun to use and I like the overall aesthetic. A fun take on the theme too, good job!
Great game! The pixel art is very nice and suitable for the genre, with great color choices and readable shapes. And the gameplay was fun too, with fast-paced combat and all the different upgrades. It was very satisfying to destroy a bunch of enemies with one dash!
I thoroughly enjoyed this game! I haven't seen too many survivor games in any of the game jams I've been a part of, much less rougelikes. The abilities felt really nice and I liked how they supported different playstyles. My only concern is that when restarting the game, the difficulty level wasn't reset, so more powerful enemies would spawn at the start of a new run.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Sorry for the difficulty bug, I didn't notice it until after submissions closed haha! If you're playing in browser a good way around this bug is to refresh the page and restart it.
Thank you for playing!
loved the powerups lol and especially liked how you dealt damage for a little after your dash to help you get out of a tight situation. abilities all felt really good to use
I loved the fact that you took the "scale" but if the theme as fish scales! I though of it too but i didn't had any idea that would be fun and enjoyable x)
Your game was really fun to play! i had some issue figuring out that the SALMONATOR shade was the direction of the dash and all, but once i knew that, i was unstoppable lol!
Good game and great job !
love the art style! i wish the SALMONATOR followed the mouse as well
still a good game! good job. btw the power up page is well done too
I like the animation and art style with this! mechanics work well too!
Loooove a good survivor and the art style is so clean and well-cut! Great job :D
I really enjoyed this game! It's a good take on the vampire survivor-like genre. The lightning felt very good, and with a little post-jam polish this could be amazing
Nice fit to this year's theme, scaled salmon :)
