How does your game fit the theme?
The puffer fish acts as the level of the game and changes size as it deflates. You can scare it by blowing a sea shell and that will cause the puffer fish to inflate.

I love how it get tense with the puffer retracting. Snail are kinda useless

I love this game. At first I had an issue where I can just press E to repeatedly horn whenever wherever, and I was like "this ain't hard, I just have to press E every 10 seconds or something" but then upon restarting is when I realized "Oh wait, that was a bug, now I'm playing an actual challenge lol"

Haha you played the easy mode at first :) I had that bug one time during testing but didn't find the source. Thanks for playing!

Really interesting concept and fun idea, I don't have the skills to get very far but it was still enjoyable :)

Haha this is so funny, I liked that you also built in a nice little cinematic, and the ending spin out. I enjoyed the pixel 2d look aswell, great job overall!

The visuals were good, reminded me of ps1/ps2 graphics.  There was a bug where i got stuck to god knows what and then i violently teleported everywhere until i died. Its decently good.

Developer

Yeah the scaling is a bit glitchy and you can easily get stuck on the ground :P Had a lot of fun making the graphics, I'm a programmer and always wanted to try making low poly / ps1 kind graphics.
Thanks for playing!

I love the visual style and overall concept of the game, but I found that one platforming segment had a really rough jump I just couldn't land.

Developer( 1)

Thanks for playing! Yeah the platforming needed more work, but I managed to run out of time :)

In terms of presentation a really cool game, I loved the low-detail 3D graphics.

It was a bit difficult to tell what was going on tho, especially after getting launched into the ceiling seemingly randomly?

Overall tho, cool ocean critter game

Developer

The level is scaling down around the player, if it gets too small the spikes in the sides will kill you. But if you interact with the sea shells, you scare the puffer fish and make it big so you can stay alive longer. I think by adding texture to the level would be easier to tell that the level is growing on becoming small.
Thanks for playing!

Fun little game, couldn't made it to the end, but the concept is very creative for sure. On Firefox camera is bugged but on Chrome/chromium runs normally.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I think I went a bit overboard bit the difficulty ^^U

Developer

There's a last minute bug :( when you die, you can't restart by pressing R. Just reload the page for now, I'll update the game with a bug fix after the voting ends.
Thanks =)
