ECHO THE DOGEFIN RESCUES FLIGHT MH371 by matt_j

[raw]
made by matt_j for LD29 (JAM)
such hero!

HOW TO PLAY ---
Direct Echo around with the mouse. Click/hold where you want him to go.

You can only carry 3 people, and you can't carry an oxygen tank and people at the same time.

Use the oxygen tank to shoot bubbles at the plane to fill it up with more air.

Shoot bubbles at any stray humans that are trying to swim for it to help them out!

Such people. Very sound. Much like. Wow.

Simple yet pretty challenging game, especially on hard difficulty!

Got done to 18 left before I died! Fun game, shooting bubbles was a bit confusing.

Fun game, the way the player moves the character worked very well except when going above the water where it seemed to falter a bit. All in all excellent entry!

Nice game. Didn't figure out shooting bubbles though.

Very fun. You nailed the controls! Would've been more fun if there was a larger area to swim around in!

Aside of the title being a bit too early (tisk), the main game mechanic is fun.

Nice take on the theme, it is pretty fun to be a dogefin.

The first time when it said "press Z to shoot bubbles" caught me by surprise and I subsequently let someone drown. It would be nice to tell beforehand that the Z key is needed in some way.

Other than that: wow, such swimming, much fun, so music.

A cool mini game, however Bubbles are more annoying than useful..

What an awesome little game! Such jokes, much comic sans, wow. Great solid fun entry to play, getting Echo to become Doge is an awesome idea. It took me only one failure to understand the mechanics and two more plays to finish the game on normal. Solid controls, nice graphics, nice dificulty range, great music and sound effects, wow. One of the nicest entries I've ever seen

I was all set to dismiss this game as meme-y garbage, but then I realized that it's actually really fun and well made. Controls are simple and fairly intuitive. I wish you could right click to shoot bubbles so that the entire game could be mouse controlled.

Also, I think it's possible for you to lose because the plane is out of air, even when all the passengers have been rescued. Not 100% sure though.

Cool game! Solid gameplay, and decent graphics and music. I think the 'doge' thing is a bit overplayed in general, but whatever floats your boat. Still though, fun stuff!

I thought this would just be a random use of the meme, but the mechanic is pretty fun on its own and I must admit that I have a soft spot for doge-based memes, so...
Such dlophin. Wow. Much fun ;)

Didn't know how to shoot, but the premise is funny and the dogefin controls well.

Love that you included the apple rejection notice haha

Controls felt a little wonky, but I guess that's part of the challenge is learning how to effectively control him. Mechanics felt pretty solid for the most part other than that. Game was pretty hard, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I was confused about the plane itself losing oxygen. Am i supposed to take the O2 to the plane, or use it to put a bubble around survivors, or both? It was a little confusing.

Overall though, I had fun messing around with it, definitely not bad at all for one person in 72 hours. If you're gonna continue working on it, though, I would recommend maybe adding some mechanics eventually, like sharks that come to attack that you have to fend off as well and such. Anything that adds to the total mayhem of the game and challenges you to spread your attention even more thin is likely to add to the excitement/fun. Will say that I'm absolutely so sick of this doge meme though :P

You had so many posts on the compo page I HAD to try it. Being rejected by Apple for 'bad taste' also helps ;)

I also like crude graphics like 'just put a dogs head on a dolphin body' (which is well done by the way), so you rate high on the humor category!

Nice music, that gave me the strength to keep going!
