You have been Summoned. I mean, Salmon'd -- both, actually.

Great entry! Loved the game!

Guess I'll come back sometime when there's people about but gosh this is a production.

Really fun game! The movement is fun, but, besides the hats and new bikes, there wasn't much incentive to keep going after a bit. The radio was a really nice touch, and it had some crazy good songs too!

Fun take on the theme! Could perhaps make use of different tasks, but for a jam game, really solid work. :)

Wasn't expecting to play GTA salmon-like, but here we are. Very cool that you guys got MP going. Dig the vibe!

Very fun, I _love_ the radio.

It took me a while to realize I could just drive out at the beginning. But after that, very fun little experience.

I got a lotta salmon love for this game

This game is so cute, I love how boxy everything looks! Had a really great style, had a lot of fun playing it!!

Very cool! Unexpected to see online multiplayer in a game jam game! I love the aesthetic and the AI and different camera perspectives make the game feel pretty fleshed out. If you wanted to continue building it out, I'd recommend including some sort of tutorial at the beginning since I didn't immediately understand the gameplay of needing to roll over the delivery zones and then accept the quest. Overall, a very fun concept. Awesome work!

I am the party leader! Let us wheelie our way to the gerbil store!!!

Well executed! The visual style works nicely. Riding the bike around town felt really smooth and the music gave it a chill vibe.

I liked the chill vibes of this, just cruising around, the FPS cam was pretty neat.

gotta love Grand Theft Aquarium

I love how kuviman makes multiplayer game on every LD. Awesome game!


Immortalising my significant, definitely non-fleeting achievement. Always love a multiplayer LD.

This is quite fun, there's some interesting art and a nice game loop. The movement feels a bit janky and there's probably a few too many cars on the road (it doesn't help that they move slower than the bikes). I could definitely see a polished version of this with some more gameplay mechanics being something people would play a lot. Nice jam entry, thanks for sharing!

I love salmon, so obviously I like this game. Great job.

So chill, I love the music and art style. I'm having a good time hopping over pieces of grass. Had to get all my buds on to play and had a blast following each other. I really like the teaming up

I am surprised by how much game ended up coming out of this one little pun. A super fun experience especially with more people. Really good work as always everyone!

WoW I didn't expect an online multiplayer game.
I really like it a lot, and of course the radio is the best XD

Meeting another salmob, ring the bell, they ring their bell back. Felt more like human interaction than most multiplayer games i have played recently. 10/10
And the first person camera feels very fast, and kinda empowering, if that makes sense?
Good experience

The game has a very cute look! It being an online game is a welcoming surprise! I was just a tad confused by what to do but, I enjoy cruising around the town. :D

This game looks great! I love the colors and the chill vibes. The bike works well, although I feel like there could be less cars driving around since the map isn't that big. I love the little details, like the bell and the radio. Also cool to see an online game.

Insane entry. Congrats

Really fun online experience with Tobugis' stream :D Loved cycling round underwater, took me back to my childhood :) :)


Fun little game! It's cool to see people biking together to deliver stuff. Controls are great and the art is very nice. Thank you for the game <3

Also HUNGRRYYYY!!!!11!!!1!

this is super fun! incredible work for ludum dare, i couldnt imagine doing anything multiplayer. lovely art and music, really fun gameplay. and above all else, that title name!
great stuff guys :)

GTA 6 is looking good!

This is so enjoyable, I could spend hours in this! Super fun, super innovative and I love the use of the "summon" mechanic. Thank you for making this wonderful piece of art for all of us to enjoy! :)

Lovely game! I really liked biking around the town. The mechanics feel good, and it's just funny looking like a silly salmon on a bike. I would've liked a time limit for the tasks, for something more of a challenge. It's really cool that you made online multiplayer. The music is a bit too short. I think changing the pitch between a number of repeats is an easy way to get a bit more variety. The 3D pixel art (or however you call that art style) is really cute. Well done!

Omg this game is so fun. I am still playing it at the moment, I just want to share where I am in the ranking at the moment, I have already invited my friends to play it, it is incredible. The radio is superior xd
Edit:
I keep playing it with friends

Absolutely loved the vibe (and I'm blown away by the technical prowess)

 the best salmon game ever!!

There is so much content! How did you guys make this in a weekend?! Great job! :thumbsup:

Whew, quite a funny game and interesting take on the theme! Loved the fact it's for multiple players so I could play it with my teammate and someone else even joined :D

WOW! I love that you made an entire radio station in your game. I had to keep delivering just to make sure I heard it all. And that there's a billboard in swimtop city for the radio station explaining how to open it.. Just fantastic!! I love it. Really enjoyed the art, too. Those are some pretty anemones! Swimtop city seems beautiful, except it has some seriously aggressive drivers. A salmon is just trying to make a living here, man.

Cool game, I liked it!

I was really impressed by the art, I LOVE the hats, variety in cosmetics. Also, doing multiplayer is so cool. I watched a stream play your game and it was really fun to see all the bikes go by. I enjoy the color palette and combination of graphics. The map is large, and very engaging to navigate around. Really great job. Very funny title and take on the theme and again, really like the world you created.


GTA is normal,this game is better,love the game art style ,wish for more content to play,we need some guns and common people

Wow, I love this game! we need more friendly GTA games. I like going around as a salmon. I like the radio and the town is adorable. the cars don't seem to respect pedestrians at all though I guess salmon have different road rules then we do. Maybe there is some hatred for people who don't own cars in salmon society or something. Anyway, great game! I need to stop though, or I will just be a salmon for the whole voting and not actually try anything else.


We had lots of fun chasing the dots together! It's a really cool little city layout, the art, the music radio, the driving, all of it is amazing!

I love how the cars just bump the players around. It's just annoying enough to incentivize trying to avoid them while keeping the multiplayer space friendly and happy without stress. I also love the inclusion of little features like the high score table, the selection of social hats/bikes, and the ability to ring a bell to greet other players. You even have a team mode that is kind of cool, because we had to learn to wait for the other players to make sure everyone gets paid without any communication besides ringing bells or emoting (bouncing, really).

If I had to be super picky: The meta of a high score and clothing selections only go so far before they get dull. It would be cool to get actual performance upgrades, or perhaps harder but better paying mission offers. But honestly, what is there is great and rather relaxing.

This is insanely impressive for a jam project. I can only imagine how much coordination it took to both develop and troubleshoot/try out the multiplayer stuff on a jam deadline. We didn't want to leave, even with the limited gameplay. It was such a welcoming, peaceful world in which we could just hang out and ride all over the city. Big two thumbs up for this one! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :smiley_cat:

This game is super cute! I loved playing in first person, gave me a weird rush, and I loved the Spongebob-y aesthetic. I played a little bit with a friend and that was very freaky and cool that I could play alongside him and we could be fish bike/unicycle bros. Great game!!

this is amazing, very fun!

great jam entry! love the color palette, the art, and the overall vibe of this entry. super impressive to make it multiplayer under the deadline!

Maria we used to play Salmoning when we were just children. I do miss you so much. You were the coolest salmon I knew. But now when I press R and hear sad Sims 1 build mode music I remember that you are no longer here :(

Press B to pay respects :( :( :(

I spent more time on this than I probably should have lol. Not quite enough to buy the unicycle unfortunately, but enough to buy some hats :D

Initially, I was having fun playing impressed by the presentation, sick radio stations and overall polish, but when I saw another player and realized it was multiplayer I was blown away. Very impressive for an LD, and a cool way to make the gameplay more engaging. Awesome job all around!!

This was really addicting, love how silly and goofy the overall aesthetic is! Live multiplayer is incredible as well, and there's so much freaking content here omg. It's like when a team overscopes, but this time they actually fulfill all their promises and ideas.

Special props to the name of the game, that's an incredible pun lol

Had a lot of fun getting money for the hats!
It's amazing it was done for a ludum dare. Loved the art and the radio!

Swimtop city was a really nice place to explore. I found this game through Dante's Delivery Service. There didn't feel like there was much of a game here but I really liked the vibe of it and it was fun to drive around. A very satisfying experience.

I wanted the unicycle!!! Had a lot of fun playing with all of the options in the game - so many of the keys did something! Doing deliveries in first person mode was pretty sick, but the 9999 price tag on the unicycle proved a bit too steep for my fingers. Loved all of the silly bloopers in the world too, great job!

Very funny submission!

Had a good time zooming around town doing wheelies!
Thought the art style was cool.
Loved the music and satisfying bell ringing.

Overall great work!

Really awesome that I got to play it with the whole gang! I’m still not exactly sure what’s up with the coop mode, but was still fun just running around, filling orders and blinging out my guy! :heart:

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2122044081

TIL fish people drive on the wrong side of the road.

Amazing work. There is MULTIPLAYER. Really relax game. I love it!

a very interesting and addictive game, we played together with friends, laughed

A fun and stylish game. There is something to do. The camera is not comfortable . But driving around the city is still interesting. Good job

this is an incredible game, I love it, very funny and groovy!

That is a pretty big world you created here! I played a bit too long on this one, I had fun ^^

The graphics are fitting very well together, and the cars are pretty cute :-)

Having different hats is a very welcome addition.

Edit: After reading that this is a multiplayer, I was blown away! I saw one other player "badcop" and thought it was some kind of NPC. I never dare to create a multiplayer, as 40 people tops will play my entry. It would be a very lonely multiplayer then

"GTA - The Ballard of Spongy Bob " - I love It!

Can't understand why camera isn't centered. Game quite boring and seems to me not in the theme.

hardest game you made yet.
5\5

Man this is cool! It's so chill and fun, I just love the world/atmosphere! It's kind of similar to my concept but executed totally different (and much better!). Well done! :)

Edit also love the use of theme/word play!

Fun game. I looked inside the building and saw there....

i love the gap between all the features (i mean you have FOUR camera angles and three emotes) and the actual gameplay. it was fun to play, really fluid, all the little things written on the phone or on the billboards are funny. i mean this game won't be a revolution in the world of video games, but it was very funny for a game jam. also it's cool to see you've all worked together on this!


oh! and thanks to a mysterious "dave" that engaged in some emote action with me tonight

this is me right now :arrow_down:


Fun! Played enough to get a new hat before I started feeling a bit motion sick (a known me problem) and now I'm *listening* to the sardines game on Ategondev's stream. Might try again in top view in a bit. I don't know if the lack of back face culling was an intentional choice or not, but I don't hate it. Feels right for the game. Love the sprites, love the collectables, love the music. Good work!

Forgot to mention here earlier: one of my favorite things about this game was learning that salmoning is the actual term for what happens in it; for a while I was thinking it was just a random pun away from "summoning" 😅

always love seeing these multiplayer games, especially being able to join in during streams and playing with a bunch of other jammers xD the emotes is always a nice touch that really adds to the charm <3

I am having fun with my friend playing this entry and this is so amazing! love the miniworld here but I can't afford $9999 sadly - could you provide a cheat code for unicycle please please please

What if "go made GTA in a GameJam" became true ? This is insanely cool. Liked the CJ street reference !

The music on the radio is so good when driving angry :)
Impressive muliplayer skills here.

I liked the GTA references, but the game felt very empty and not particularly fun, also I don't see the point of this being a multiplayer game

What an absolute dream-team. Thank goodness the stars aligned to deliver me this experience~✨

Discovering salmon radio with the bill board was such a blast experience ! Swimtop City is my new town !

Impressed you managed to make a multiplayer game in the time! Loved the look of the world and the radio, just wish there was a bit more to the actual gameplay.

I don't know what I expected when hitting R but it most definitely wasn't a song about "saunaklonkku". Absolutely glorious.

I LOVED THIS GAME! wish space was the jump and not 1, but otherwise wonderful entry. I LOVED how you did the plants to make them appear 3D, I'll have to remember that. About the only thing I have to say bad about your entry was how dare you show me up when I tried to do networking too lol. And you got dedicated to work too! Great game as always. I look forward to your teams EVERY season!

That's a really impressive amount of stuff done in such a short time!

Great job!

Love the radio and very impressive that it's a multiplayer game. Are you hosting the server somewhere? Would've loved a bit more variety on the tasks but I bet it's already very fun as it is when played together.

At first, I calmly played, drive and delivered parcels, and then I read that there is an `R` button and how the game was immediately transformed after it, xDD). It became so much fun right away, hah). But overall it was a pleasure to play. I would also like the path to be shown on the stage itself, but this is more of a quibble.

Very fun! Long live to overscoping!

That is a wonderful banner art LMFAO

What I do know is that this is an excellent game, what I don't know is why I am now the proud owner of a unicycle.

There are so many features in a 72-hour game that it's almost unbelievable that it was made in that time. Congratulations.

Wow, such an ambitious project! It's amazing that your team managed to pull off a game so huge in so little time. So much extra content that makes the game more charming. I especially liked the secret audio track.

Maybe, a few in-game hints would be nice. I didn't realize at first that you have to drive out of the garage to start actually playing. And maybe some people are going to miss some keys for unnecessary things like emotes and radio.

Great job! Good luck to your team in your future projects!

Ahahah so many references ! You had my heart only with the name of the game <3 Personalisation of the character : love it. The feeling is realy good, I like the visuals too. Very good concept ! Great job

I'm playing on a small laptop and I don't know why but the window of the game wouldn't stop scrolling top. (like in the screenshot)

The best part of this game is the mood. It feels like playing GTA in Bikini Bottom :)

It's crazy how many features are in this game, also nice GTA font haha

Very funny

Thank you for watching the stream and sharing your game with us yesterday.

GTA in 72 hours, no problem for the team! Congratulations on the submission!

This reminded me more of crazy taxi than gta tbh, but either way, it's remarkable how much you guys accomplished here

Really love the presentation overall. Gives this a pretty chill and fun vibe

Gives me early GTA vibes with a fish on a bike humour. I can see why you recommend the multiplayer, but unfortunately, there was no one online. Good work on getting the GTA vibes!

That's funny :) The game would be more suited to one of the previous themes - delivery. But it's a cool play on words too, so it counts!

I am such a huge fan of Kuvi and Sarah and who else made this game, it was super fun and I'm going to play it again cuz. Pomo the Mood played with me too... mood.

_\*Darth Vader voice*_ Impressive... most impressive.

Amazing... I enjoyed the Salmon Radio particularly. Nice relaxing game, and although it made me dizzy (which I can't really blame the devs for) I played for a while anyways :)

All you had to do was follow the damn train, Sea J

(great game btw)

Very impressive entry for the time we had!

I'm sad I didn't play on day one, because I bet it was an absolute blast to bike around with tons of people. I still had fun though. I love the sounds of the bike, and riding around in the first-person camera was my favorite. The bike controls are great, and the speed boost from staying on the roads being balanced by having to avoid traffic is just really well done. The GPS works so well, that's really dang impressive. This world feels very alive, and I really enjoyed spending time in it. I would have loved for a couple different tasks to complete, but the deliveries kept me entertained enough to buy a crown! Great job to everyone involved.

"How much do you enjoy driving around in a city in a video game?"


Seriously though, driving in games feels so therapeutic and addictive, and that's true for this game too. It was a very enjoyable experience to just drive around for like an hour. Great entry!

Had a blast playing this, especially since I could play in a team. Movement feels really good and the world is just fun to be in and see. Love the vibe, the sound, the looks, basically everything here is just great. And then it's even more impressive when you consider it's for a game jam too.

Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to watch it again in the future heres the vod of the stream (with a chapter for your game)

https://youtu.be/eQrmE5W6CWU

"like a fish in water"!

I had a lot of fun and relaxed... as a team!

It's really easy to play and works well, different view, humor and more... Thanks for a great time!

Congratulations!

finally 

I kinda liked technical realization, including the avaiability of multiplayer. And stylish graphics. But the theme is Summoning, not Delivery. The latter was on LD53. There's a huge gap between summoning and delivery, or summoning and taking orders, IMHO.

@denismarasan summoning sounds like salmoning sounds like summoning

also, from merriam webster:
3. to call upon for specified action
4. to bid to come : send for

idk what more you want tbh

@badcop yeah, I notices the title, its' great, btw.

> also, from merriam webster

I think you'd better add that to the description.

Unique take on the theme and a generally fun game.
Also please more salmon metal (please).
Concerning feedback, I can only think of asking for additional content in regards to the game play loop, making summonings more variable, but I couldn't tell you what.
Thanks for making this!

Love the art style

"At least we've got the Salmoner cleaning up the streets!" Thanks for sharing this onstream Kuvi, and thanks for carrying me Rincs! Great job team <3

Really cozy little game, loved the art style and feel!

Great work!

Great fun stuff!
Now I know why there are bicycles in the kanal! Haha!
I watched this being played multi-player on a stream
a few days ago and there was much fun!
Great Stuff, I dig it!
Really lovely work!

god i love spongebob and all this vibe!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing that you made this in the jam time constraints. Love the artstyle, movement feels very fun too. Well done!

I am amazed by all the little features you were able to add in your game, although some of them feel like they could have been replaced by some gameplay elements :laughing: but I get the idea of making a hyper polished game and it honestly does the job, congrats !

[Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2124420925?t=01h48m02s)

Despite the bugginess of the teams, we still had a great time playin' it! Somethin' about multiplayer shenanigans always brings out the best/worst in us. :smile:

This was super creative and well executed! Nice job!

I will always be impressed by multiplayer games made during a game jam. Great Entry !

Being summon to work as an ubereat driver. Pretty sure that's not my dream :p The game is really funny and beautiful though. Love it !

A very well designed and crafted game and total hit to the theme. Great work! I expect pretty high scores for it. As for the game, it would be awesome to show the middle finger with the fin, like how it was done in the original GTA. Apart from this drawback, everything else looks convenient and playable.

There was a lot of cool things about this game. Multiplayer, multiple music options, cool graphics and did I mention multiplayer. The main downsides on the game for me was the massive difference in volume between the two music options and the gameplay didn't have a great deal of varience. Really cool and solid entry :thumbsup:

The GTA, Spongebob, parking mania crossover we didnt' know we needed! Very much appreciated the radio, had me bopping, and I upgraded to a fish hat which was very dapper. The 2D-ness of the bike was very amusing

The music gives me a good vibe. Hella chill. The game looks like a combination of SpongeBob and GTA.

FUn little game, cars are little bit bugged but the game is great otherwise ^^

It feels like I accidentally created some kind of prequel to your game :smile:

I loved that you used signs in the game world to show the highscore and screenshots. Was a very cool moment when I saw the radio advertisement, pressed R and got to listen so some fantastic silly songs :smile: In general I liked the vibe of the city. Great work, especially when you consider that this is actually an online multiplayer!

Really fun! It felt a bit repetitive though that's the only critique from me. Loved the spongebob feel of it! Good job!

It has something strangly satisfying that leaves the need to play more of it :)

The most over-scoping underscope game

Ambitious but well executed and funny! It's a great start of an interesting multiplayer experience. I was told there might be an update soon that adds more to the gameplay after the reviews are done-- can't wait to see it! Thank you for sharing this!

Awesome! Loving the radio :D Unfortunately there was no one online, but I still had a great time

Very original and fun! By adding some surprises or power-ups, it could become much more enduring! Good submission.

5/5 for humor and graphics!
