That was a very nice game to play, sound design is awesome :) I was a little bit confused with two circling things in the deep, maybe they should be more responsive to player, if it is a secret
nice game, whichI could have avenged the fish that got killed. not sure but did the fish who ran off at the very beginning make it to the end?
Also, in the place where that one fish died I found a place with 2 circling water snake things which was a dead end. was there supposed to be something.
Thank you for playing! The circling fish themselves are the secret / easter egg. Nothing else there. The fish who ran off at the very beginning is Joefish whom you later meet again just before... you know... So yeah the name of the "Unnamed" fish is Joefish.
I followed Yan's dev streams on you-tube and I was super curious to try it out myself. It's simplicity, use of colours, art, creative monster design and gameplay is fantastic. Its great seeing my favorite You Tubers collaborate and create such a masterpiece game jam submission. Well done to the gang behind this.
Thanks a lot! If you're not there yet, with time and practice, you can surely get there! (Also remember we're a team of 4 game makers and everyone did something for the game - couldn't have done it alone, especially in this time)
What an amazing experience. The art is absolutely stellar. The audio design is so immersive. The cutscenes are great and super charming.
The main gameplay mechanic is so simple, yet effective. It acts as a means to damage, but also makes you go really fast. This also promotes speed running of the game which is always a plus.
It was really neat seeing the fish change their expression as they go, even when Bubblyn inflates. I love the initial dopey happy faces they make at the start. So cute!
The camera also adjusts at just the right times for the fast-moving areas and the slow corridors.
There was one moment where there are two spinning eels, and I was wondering what might be their secret? I even returned back there after reaching the end to bring Booba back with me, but still, nothing happens. I feel like I’m missing out on some sort of secret… :3
Definitely a candidate for the best game of the jam in my opinion. This is incredibly special. I’m so glad I found and played this!
Thank you for your in-depth and kind review! The spinning eels are something I put in last minute because the room was there but empty. Just supposed to be a little easter egg of sorts.

Space checks out

Wat I NEED to do dat
Simple mechanics and beautiful graphics. Manages to be adorable and terrifying at the same time. Would recommend, and would definitely play a sequel.

4 gods came together to make this masterpiece!
I really liked it, wish that swimming against blocks and THEN activating puff form didn't just eat the input tho, the blocks stayed whole
I want a sequel :(
It's called: Joefish: the revival
So, are we just gonna ignore the fact that Joe/Joel just died...
Show post...
yea cuz there is no sequel :(
Very fun, the voice acting adds a lot, instead of boring text boxes, and the art is amazing, too!
Oh, I bid farewell to the port and the land
And I paddle away from brave England's white sands
To search for my long ago forgotten friends
To search for the place I hear all sailors end
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my mind
I'll search without sleeping 'til peace I can find
I fear not the weather, I fear not the sea
I remember the fallen, do they think of me?
When their bones in the ocean forever will be
Plot a course to the night to a place I once knew
To a place where my hope died along with my crew
So I swallow my grief and face life's final test
To find promise of peace and the solace of rest
As the songs of the dead fill the space of my ears
Their laughter like children, their beckoning cheers
My heart longs to join them, sing songs of the sea
I remember the fallen, do they think of me?
When their bones in the ocean forever will be
When at last before my ghostly shipmates I stand
I shed a small tear for my home upon land
Though their eyes speak of depths filled with struggle and strife
Their smiles below say I don't owe them my life
As the souls of the dead fill the space of my eyes
And my boat listed over and tried to capsize
I'm this far from drowning, this far from the sea
I remember the living, do they think of me?
When my bones in the ocean forever will be
Now that I'm staring down at the darkest abyss
I'm not sure what I want but I don't think it's this
As my comrades call to stand fast and forge on
I make sail for the dawn 'til the darkness has gone
As the souls of the dead live for'er in my mind
As I live all the years that they left me behind
I'll stay on the shore but still gaze at the sea
I remember the fallen and they think of me
For our souls in the ocean together will be
I remember the fallen and they think of me
For our souls in the ocean together will be
Beautiful! Thanks for making this video, shared it with the rest of the team :)
Oh wow! Thank you so much! I feel honoured. ;{)

10/10 game!
That was a very nice game to play, sound design is awesome :)
I was a little bit confused with two circling things in the deep, maybe they should be more responsive to player, if it is a secret
Thank you! Glad you like the audio :)
The circling fish were added pretty much last minute just so that there's something in the room which was already there but empty.

I found a place it showed three pics (WIll you snail) (Glihion) And I forgot is that the secret sprite?
This was a fun game with a very unique artstyle
loved the game. The part where the fish died freaked me out. good job, (especially Jonas's sister)
Thanks! Sorry for the fish-death lol
And you're right, Klara did an amazing job!
Incredible game and art style!I loved everything, congrats!
nice game, whichI could have avenged the fish that got killed.
not sure but did the fish who ran off at the very beginning make it to the end?
Also, in the place where that one fish died I found a place with 2 circling water snake things which was a dead end. was there supposed to be something.
RIP Unnamed fish! :'-(
Thank you for playing!
The circling fish themselves are the secret / easter egg. Nothing else there. The fish who ran off at the very beginning is Joefish whom you later meet again just before... you know...
So yeah the name of the "Unnamed" fish is Joefish.
yeah I kind of played the game muted for undisclosed reasons, so I kind of didnt follow the dialog at all.
it was probably mentioned there I guess :-)
Well Done!
still not over the fact the other fish died. Goodbye cruel world
It's a tragedy. Still not over it myself :'(
I followed Yan's dev streams on you-tube and I was super curious to try it out myself. It's simplicity, use of colours, art, creative monster design and gameplay is fantastic. Its great seeing my favorite You Tubers collaborate and create such a masterpiece game jam submission. Well done to the gang behind this.
Hey, thanks for watching my streams, much appreciated :)
Glad you liked our little game :)
Oh no, now I never want to become a fish again! So scary! Brrlrlrlrlrl
Wonderful game!
Haha thank you. It's scary down in the deep sea
That was... disconcerting.
Hiii, I've made a video about the game and wanted to share some feedback about it, hopefully it is useful to you ^^
-The concept of the game is pretty interesting.-The gameplay mechanics are really interesting and make the gameplay experience very interesting.
-The game visually looks awesome, the only thing that could be improved is the animations on the faces of the charecters when they are talking.
-The voice acting is really good and really enjoyable.
Hopefully this is useful to you :D, also if you could subscribe that would help me a lot :)
Regards
Thanks for playing and making a video!
I'm glad you like our voice acting :)
I agree, the facial animations are really basic lol... would help if at least the eyes didn't move constantly haha
But overall, Noa, as always did a fantastic job with the art and environment design.
You are welcome ^^
Very funny game, i like the simplicity of the game.
Thanks!
Nice game! Well done!
Thank you!
if you right click too fast you fly super high its funny, but overall fun experience !
Haha yeah that was discovered by some of our players pretty much immediately after we launched it :D
We didn't catch that one while testing but oh well, it's kinda fun to do ^^
Beutiful art, no bugs found, overall great game
Thanks!
I want to get to this level of all round game design, this is just fantastic.
Thanks a lot! If you're not there yet, with time and practice, you can surely get there! (Also remember we're a team of 4 game makers and everyone did something for the game - couldn't have done it alone, especially in this time)
I liked it a lot the voice acting was really funny. Can you check my submission out. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/lostbrother
i'm on trackpad, cant play it :(
Ah, I'm sorry about that. We should probably think about adding controller support in an update...
it's ok. i have a mouse, but its right click is broken. :D hope i can fix it!
P. S. thank you for replying!
You can just swim past that guy at the end
Huh, my change to the collider must've gotten reverted in a Unity collab hiccup then. I guess that makes a pacifist run possible :D
Loved the feel of this game. Great work!
Special congrats for the sounds! Loved the brbrbr sound when inflating.
Hahaha yeah that sound was recorded by Klara. Was happy we got it implemented in the end.
Thank you for playing!
Honestly what a beautiful experience, full of juice and full of polish! Amazing work to you all!
Thanks a lot! :)

the suspense in the game was very nice, at each step I was curious about what was waiting for me ahead, very nice game and art...!!!!
Thanks! I'm glad we were able to create enough content to keep it interesting throughout for you :)
I love this so much! Amazing art, even the voice over it's really fun and great for a game jam, impressive!
Thank you, Tomás! I am glad you like it!

Thanks! Always a pleasure to work with Noa and Jonas. First time working with Liam and it's been great!
