I really enjoyed playing Nom, what a great game! From the get go, the art style is simple yet elegant, so is the game control. They're very intuitive and capture the feeling of a huge fish preying on small fishes very well. In real world, if big fish makes a bad maneuver, I guess all the small fish run away. In this game, I felt the same disappoint from breaking the streaks. Also, the game is well polished and the feedbacks of every player action feels right on point.\n\nThe only improvement I felt was from the streaks. Sometimes I would have just caught the fish from the airplane, and feel that I had played the game perfectly, only to see my streak breaks. It's a little unpredictable in that way. Audio also feels a little weaker comparing to all other aspects of the game, as it is neither serene, nor is it exciting. It is kind of in the middle, which I personally feel would help shaping the game's mood more if the audio has a bit more character.\n\nI definitely learned a lot from playing Nom. Hopefully that one day I'd design a game as elegant as this. Thanks for the work!","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1099195,"author_name":"woona","author_uid":"woona","epoch":1728480973,"text":"I really appreciated how many creatures there are on screen and it was satisfying to nom them. \ud83d\ude01 I wish there was some kind of an end to the end, for example, if some bombs actually exploded not in food but in bullets.\n\nAlso, I would prefer if the controls were a bit different: W, S for forward, backwards, and A, D for turning. With momentum, it felt like I was playing a racing game with weird controls.\n\nStill, it's a very polished and fun game with minimalist look and design.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1101893,"author_name":"DashVirus","author_uid":"dashvirus","epoch":1728513559,"text":"Really nice polished game. It drove me crazy I always wanted to reach a higher multiplicator ! I reached x512 hehehe !\nThe graphics are neat, extremely simple yet super polished, with nice particles and good feedback choices. The only thing I regret is that the controls are not what you expect from a shark (or whatever swimming). I wanted, like @woona to have a turn feeling, especially because the shape of the character you control leads you to think that it will turn. Anyway, still a really good rating for me, on this addictive  little game supported by really nice ambiant sounds.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1120568,"author_name":"designernap","author_uid":"designernap","epoch":1729880233,"text":"Gah this is a diamond find.
