Nice jam game. Definitely fits the theme and good use of lighting. I felt like the up/down movement should be faster though.

@rhoff95 Had a few issues trying to get a webGL version to build and wasn't able to get it successfully uploaded on Itch.

The lighting was really cool ! It'd be nice if there was a web version, maybe try and get one online ?

Nice idea, the movement is a little bit slow and the little fishes are hard to hit

@forsakenbacon - try disabling compression under publishing and also I had a crash which required me to "ignore" errors... Found a long explanation on the issue ...

Would love to see a web build :fingers_crossed_tone1:

I enjoyed this one. The art was nice, and the ambience was effective. At first the movement felt slow but it provided a nice challenge for lining up shots with the quickly moving fish. However I never really felt much in danger, and only lost a couple of hearts over the course of the game - I would recommend making each stage a bit longer, and increasing the density of fish. Overall great job, especially as a first game! :)

Love the cool graphics and it fit the theme. The game has a full mechanism. But iIthink the control​ will be better if you can shoot by pressing the ​key on the ​keyboard as the mouse don't control​ the facing

The flashlight flare is a great addition to the game's graphics and at first I thought that was the only thing it was for. Then I got to the darkest level and saw that flashlight is pretty vital to actually seeing things lol! I also love that level for having angler and viper fish swimming around, nice work on their sprite art!
