Made with Godot, Audacity and GIMP. All sounds and graphics by me. Yes, I really hit my face to produce the slapping sound...

I think the hitboxes are off for this kind of precision game. I was eaten by a fish that I swear was a few pixels away from me. Not a huge deal, but I think you could increase the size of the main character, make the main character's hitbot smaller than the graphic, and increase the hitbox of the pickups larger than the graphic to compensate for the smaller player hitbox. Then getting the items is a little easier (which is satisfying) and you can skirt your way past the fish without dying (which is also satisfying)
Nice work
Like the slap sound!
Sometimes the small hit boxes made it hard to slap a quick moving fish
It seems though that I can have Walter Wormington move offscreen and never be attacked by any fish there. Adding some boundaries to the game would pervent me and others from cheating. Overall a nice simple and funny game.
The game is a little difficult for me (I try to play with mouse only), a faster worm could help :)
I'm slapping every fish but it's hard to get the points :smile:
Good job !
