The mood is amazing, the aesthetic made me feel like it was some sort of modern version of Takeshi's Castle. And the gameplay made me recall Crash Bash party minigames, so that's two cool things I liked reminded in one game. :)\n\nI agree with others that it can be confusing at first (during my first playthrough or two I thought I had to eat the fish and the iceberg sank because I got fat :P), but you can get used to it and figure it out after a couple of tries. One thing that felt slightly weird to me is I couldn't tell how many fish it took to start sinking the iceberg. It might be because the gameplay is pretty hectic, but I thought that sometimes it went down with a much smaller amount of fish than before. Or do the fish get heavier with time? Maybe it would be good to make the sinking a more gradual process, or at least give the player some more warning signs that things are starting to go wrong.\n\nThe sounds are well fitting the game, but the music is just banging! Good thing you don't pause and mute the game when it isn't focused, so I can listen to the music while writing this comment. :D\n\n![ssm.png](\/\/\/raw\/3cc\/31\/z\/602ab.png)","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1024657,"author_name":"SleepyStudios","author_uid":"sleepystudios","epoch":1697323662,"text":"No idea what the fuck I just experienced but loved every second of it.
