It's kind of like a puzzler as well as an action game, as you have to work out which moves are certain death.

Yet another jelly fish game! The concopt is simple and somehow fits the theme as the deeper could be used to describe situation :) the control is a little cringe and I can not start up for so many times though. Nice job anyway!

Took me a couple of seconds to figure out that I was the jellyfish and not a turtle ahah
Music is really catchy.

You should add a screen with controls (but having a azerty keyboard is not helping me to quickly find the keybinds for sure)


Congrats for your first game !

Nice work! It's interesting when you think about next steps to take, as some paths might seem possible at the start but lead to defeat. Maybe it's better to make the collisions more tolerable (i.e. the colliders are smaller than they look), as I died many times when I think there might be enough room for this jelly.

Life is hard for jellies! :D

Interesting game idea. It's quite difficult but I think you can extend it to a nice game! Good job! Playing the game with the keyboard but having to click to restart was a bit annoying - maybe add a key for restarting the game, too?

Nice game. I found it quite difficult and would have liked it easier at the start to get me into the game.

Also found it difficult, would have liked arrow keys for left-hand controls. (In my games I always just map both WASD and arrow keys so people don't have to choose)

And as a rule of thumb, games should start with the player in a safe zone. I clicked away while the game was loading and the turtle ate me almost instantly. Then I had to learn the controls under time pressure, and eventually gave up

Hello,

It's not easy to do a game. And for a first compo, it's nice.
Compo is very hard :)

Good points:
- The control of the player is interesting to solve the game (with the long distance when you up dans the short distance when you use left/right keys),
- You finish the game and it's very playable
- You do the music ?
- Art is correct

One improvement:
- Make a more smooth controls :)

Congrats and welcom to Jam :)

I found the controls so frustrating. Why does it jump so much in the vertical axis, but almost does not move on the horizontal?
