Fish Collector Boy by sparksgently

[raw]
made by sparksgently for LD31 (JAM)
After an afternoon wandering on the ice, it's time to head for home. But first, collect the fish that the fishermen have left behind!

And watch out for weak ice...

Controls:
WASD to move
SPACE to jump
Z to zoom out

Goals:
- collect fish
- make it to the igloo

The HTML5 version runs very slowly; if you really want to try the game on the web and are willing to put up with a little slowness, here you go: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6435217/LD31/index.html

I love the art style and the idea. The instructions where shown a bit shortly, I had to reload the game for that. Also the character was moving very slowly (sometimes). Not sure if that was wanted or lagging.

Cool concept, but the lagging/slowing issue makes it kinda boring :S Nice entry though!

Enjoyed the music and the art. The shifting Ice is a cool touch. Very simplistic gameplay - but quite enjoyed the scenery and the walk! Good job.

Idea of breaking ice is great, but it's irritating when a big chunk of ice suddenly disappears under your feet. Also, the music is cool.

The lagging really cut the game experience a lot, but the concept is very nice!

The concept is excellent, though I wish there was a bit more strategy involved in where the ice breaks. I just kept jumping everywhere. Good Job.

It was an interesting mechanic but needed more development to be made fun.

I loved the graphics but along with the camera angle, they made it seem a bit disorienting.
