Pelican Challenge by Green Lightning

[raw]
made by Green Lightning for LD29 (COMPO)
In Pelican Challenge you have to dive into the water to catch as much fish as possible within one minute!

This game has no music in it, because I did not have the skills or the time to create something decent for it, but I suggest you turn on your favorite relaxing song while playing it.

I live streamed and recorded the whole development of this game. You can find links to the videos on my homepage.

I hope you have fun and a happy Ludum Dare to everyone!

Very solid and smooth, smoother than a lot of LD games. :)

A fun mechanic :) Took a while to figure out how to do it really well, but good when I did.

Plays really fast and smoothly. It took me a couple of goes before I figured out how to dive deep enough to get most of the fish.

Really like the presentation, and the neat touches like the moving clouds and the bubbles. There's a nice satisfaction to getting a dive lined up and scooping a whole bunch of fish in one go as well.

The control mechanics is a bit confusing to me, though is a good game. Nice Job.

I like this game, it is relaxing because you aren't being attacked by anything. Interesting because you get to watch the underwater environment evolve and try and scoop up the largest load of fish. Controls were fluid.

I'll be honest, I was thinking flappy bird! This game was fun to play though. Very unique!

Beautiful and so nice to play! I like the intuitive controls a lot. I wish the clouds matched the cute cartooney theme, but it's a tiny gripe!

Really neat game, very relaxing. I feel like the movement could flow better, but as it is now it feels like a very old school PC game :)

Looks awesome. Good concept. Control isn't little bit comfortable. May be because big inertia?

Really pretty, fun. Controls aren't as tight as I'd like, but it takes some getting used to.
