Interesting little game, I like the control feedback and the art style. The only feedback I would suggest is turn off debugging and when the projectile hits the player they move forward? Aside from that pretty good well done!

So when I first opened the game, the title was all blurry and I couldn't read it. The mechanics and theme made sense and I really liked the 3D work that was done. One of the things that seemed a bit off was when you change direction its possible to look towards the screen and a side scrolling game should just be left or right facing. Other than that it was a cool game, good work!

I like it! It feels a bit like smash but with dynamic buffs/debuffs!

Sadly I can't try this out with a friend, but the main idea about it would be fun if it was a bit more fleshed out and balanced

The fact that you hit yourself while moving forward and firing would definitely be very annoying however!

Awesome shaders! When you get a buff, it might be nice for that not to stop the gameplay entirely. Otherwise, fun idea!

Had a lot of fun playing it with a friend! Although a little bit buggy the game is fun and the way you interpreted the theme kind of auto-balances the game!

really nice art and graphic but the movement and shoot is a little bit unbalanced - needs a little edit. :hearts:

Unable to play with a friend at the moment, but the art style is really strong. Loved all of the characters. Movement felt good and liked seeing the Peixaralho cruising in the background. Look forward to playing this with a someone.

This is the most brazilian game I have ever seen, the filenames and the game name made me chuckle a little. Aside from that, very interesting mechanics, wasn't able to really play very well thanks to not having a right ctrl button though.

I loved the graphics. It wasn't really playable - that's too bad. It has potential to be a catchy game if you keep working on it. :slight_smile:

I asked one of my siblings to play this with me. He won by disabling my ability to USE GUN.

The graphics were adorable, and I loved the fish floating around in the background. Sometimes the physics did weird things, like repeatedly launching me off a cliff, but it was pretty funny.

The fish powerups were interesting, although I couldn't figure out how to activate them? (my brother did, somehow.) Watching him fly across the stage while i am helpless and unable to shoot was terrifying.

Yeah. The game is nice and looks awesome, but the mechanics were somewhat wonky.
A single bullet would sometimes throw me across the whole screen, off the cliff.
Idea is great and I can see the effort put into the game, but I guess it's the time constraints of LD that made it a bit unbalanced.
But that's just a small issue. Otherwise, the game is real nice.
