Re-uploaded after deadline to add bug fix for not consistently advancing to next level upon level completion. AKA, would very frequently not advance past level 1 or 2 even after completing.

Solid entry. Love the pixel art work, especially the bear. Also the music and sfx is a nice addition given the time limit. There are a few times where I cannot get the range of the water splash correct so some nice usability enhancement there would be nice.

Love the pixel art work, easy to pick and play. It is hard to save more then one fish.. I think the fish it is too small so it makes it difficult. Sounds are nice. Love the little pixels animations around!!!

@ruoyu & @dani-desa thanks both for the comments! There was a lot lacking so I understand that feedback. I ran out of time and didn't get much time for level balancing and initially planned to have different kinds of fish and upgrade to a bucket of water, but oh well. Thanks for the compliments!

The graphics are great and I thought the concept was cute. Would have liked the area to water the fist to be a bit easier to hit. Also, I thought the pace of the bear movement was really solid!

great game , i like the graphics is very cute!!

It's a good small game with simple but unusual idea. Gameplay is fun and captivating.

We loved the art and I especially liked that it has gulp reviews. Great pun! I do wish the post-level screen stayed up a bit longer though. The game got frantic very quickly but it's a hilarious concept. Great job!

Nice work Lou!!!! Fun gameplay, ace graphics and super cool tune too - especially like the tone switch between levels, that bass works so well. Great job!

Nice job, fun concept and pixel art :)

Good idea! Nice graphics!

@boltzmannsbud thank you and I agree, I did not get around to fine tuning the hit area for watering the fish so wasn't perfect!

Thanks @nekoruma & @artyom-volkov !

Thank you @epiphanyg and I was very happy to think up gulp.com and was planning more with the end game screen - like an actual Gulp.com rating out of 5 stars - but didn't get to develop that out or do much balancing, ha! It is impossible to keep up with those fish!

Thanks @scowsh good to see you here!

@maytch good to see you here too! Did you submit an entry this time?

Thanks @gonzo13 !

Welp. That was a bloody fish massacre! The bear was eating well with my skills.

Really liked this. Made me LOL when it started and found the music and application of the theme very interesting. Good work.

:laughing: haha love the idea of this game.. and feel sorry about the fish too :fish:

What a sweet and hillarious idea! Love it, great job mate!

I found this really funny and charming - I definitely agree that it was quite hard to hit the fish, but I got a laugh out of it anyway just because of the absurdity of running around with the tiniest cup ever trying to keep things under control :joy:

This was really entertaining! It was a great idea, but maybe you should increase the hitbox of the water to make it a bit less frustrating.

What a wacky concept! It's stuff like this that makes game jams so interesting. The end of day stats were a good touch, they really encouraged me to keep playing. Good to know that even if the fish weren't making it to the motel, someone was putting them to good use!

This was so funny. But I think it was a bit too hard. Needed more variety after 3 fish.

Very cute! I love the bear concierge! Absolutely adorable. The concept is pretty funny and it fits the theme well.

Very cute and unique

@kuiefs yes, that unfortunately did not make the cut - level balancing and adding different types of fish. Wanted to be able to at least upgrade from a solo cup to a bucket as well. Hope to do that after the rating period ends.

@perpetuummobile thanks for the feedback - will do that after the ratings period is over.

Thanks @jin9310 - good to see you around!

Such a great concept! With cute graphics too :)

Cute and fun little game, Lou! It kept me playing for 20 minutes because.. It was fun trying to keep them alive, haha :smiley: I really like that cool bear character, also

Really good job, I especially liked the spritework for the main character and the music.

Thanks all!

Very nice! I definetely agree with the feedback about the watering hitbox. Also, having WASD controls would be great.

Really cute and funny take on the theme! I had a little bit of a hard time aiming the water at the fish, and the difference in the sprite when the cup of water was full vs. not full was fairly subtle (and without a sound effect or other cue there were a few times when I failed to fill it or already emptied it but almost didn't notice). The visuals feel good and cohesive with nice little polishing touches like the particle effects, and the audio goes with it really well I think. Great work overall! :)

It's a bit hard to tell where the water is going to land when you need to move your hands faster than you mind can go. Having a little target as to the splash radius would help immensely. Otherwise, the graphics are fantastic! I love how the bear kicks up sand / water particles as they move around. nice touch! Great work!
