Frank the Fish by eastes

[raw]
made by eastes for LD29 (COMPO)
Throw rocks at pigs and Pepsi Consultants!

My first ever game and Ludum Dare.

Style is low poly geometric.

It took 12 hours to bake the textures, hence the delay in porting to windows.

Windows version is recommended over the web version to take advantage of the graphics.

Jump from platform to platform to find new enemies to feed frank the fish before he eats you. Jumping is supposed to be fun and difficult.

I really liked the art style and colors. Throwing rocks at pigs was not as rewarding as I first imagined. But I had some fun. :)

The game looks really good, at least for 48 hours that for sure, but man it runs poorly. I have like 15fps all the time. Gameplay-wise - i didnt get it. Menus were bad...

Runs well on my laptop and the visuals are great, nice use of colour.

Very difficult but also very interesting. I think I need a more power full computer to play these 3D games.

It's got a cool N64 platformer vibe to it. Seems like there's a few bugs with the menus and all the little hops make it a bit of a slog in the end, but it's extremely impressive for 48 hours.

Love the low-poly/flat-shaded art style!

Ran great; This was your first game ever? Did you know Unity beforehand? Well done!

The jumping doesn't feel quite natural, it feels like I'm in space. Other than that, the Pepsi rap is fun and the concept about the game is just crazy! :D Good fun

Graphics are nice and so is music. An invert mouse option would have been great.
Also I don't see how theme based it this game.

Nice overall first entry.

The graphic style is gorgeous, but jumping felt quite uncontrolled (this does however add to the difficulty). Overall a good game though!

Frank the fish lives beneath the surface of the ocean. Feed him pigs and Pepsi consultants

This is a wonderful game. Throwing pigs of cliffs to become friends with a giant fish named Frank? Absolutely fun.
The only thing that bugged me was that I had to restart the game to reset the Level. I don't know if that was done on purpose or not, but it felt better having pigs to throw away after restarting. ;-)

Very weird game, but in a good way.

Really really poorly on my computer (Mac Mini), but from the 10fps I got it looked really nice.

Ran alright on my machine, though I had trouble with the web version not locking my mouse. Liked the visuals, gameplay was simple, but worked.

The low-poly look was awesome, as was the audio. Shooting rocks at pigs has never been so much fun!
Definitely a must-play. Congrats!

The controls (arrow + space + mouse) are very hard. On azerty keyboard it's "impossible" to play, except shooting the 3 firs ts pigs.

Haha, genius! xD I really had much fun with this one. At some point my aiming messed up though, because when I minimalised the game and then opened it again, I would have to aim down to shoot forward. But that may have been my fault, it was great! The music was also fitting well.

Like roaming about in a salvador dali painting turned video game. Great fun when so many other games can take themselves too seriously. The only thing tweaky was frank can clip all over the place. Otherwise great game. Loved chucking the Pepsi Salesman into the drink.

Got featured in a showcase video on youtube ta boot: http://youtu.be/ZqtwPW9QMLk

I love the low poly art.
Game not so challenging but cool.
The gravity is weird. (or the jump is too slow)
