Fishy World

What's there is good, but I wish there were more there :)

Can't really complain though, it's a short gamejam after all. Well done!

It was simple game, good it had funny ending screen :)

It's pretty simple, but it's also kinda fun just driving the fish around the bowl and seeing how big it can get. I was a bit worried it was just going to keep getting bigger and bigger forever... The controls take a bit of getting used but they were fine after some practice.

The presentation is similarly simple, but not unappealing. The graphics look nice enough and the music is okay. I really like the "nom" sound effect for eating. Something about sound effects made using someone's voice just amuses me.

Stayed for the nom

I felt this was all a bit too simplistic, gameplay, music, graphics.. I think a a few little tweaks, the game would have been much more engaging, like some sort of enemy or different things falling from the top you had to avoid. Because technically, the game played itself. You could theoretically stay still and you would eventually grow to the maximum.

The take on the theme was good tho, and the ending was really funny :D

I really liked how the screenwrap made it feel like I was a swimming around in circles in the bowl. Maybe that's what you were going for with that mechanic, but if not, happy coincidence! :D

The current control scheme makes the fish VERY difficult and annoying to control, if you want to use a turn/go forward method I'd suggest using something where you can point anywhere instantly (like a mouse or joystick) and giving the character a lot of friction. Also, the wrapping is a bit confusing since only you wrap around, not the food, and you can only wrap horizontally. If you want to introduce a game mechanic, then make it universal and reliable, otherwise the game feels bugged.

This game was very cute and simple, and I enjoyed playing it. Although it was not anything mind-blowing from a gameplay perspective, you executed it well, and I'm glad to see you used the jam as an opportunity to learn more about Game Maker!

It was part of my Twitch stream last night, which you can check out here if you'd like: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/600892007

I play your game from around 44:00 through about 48:15. (I unfortunately didn't realize until watching it back that I set the resolution incorrectly so you can't see the whole thing on the stream.)

Nice work! Hope you had fun with the jam and that you'll participate in future ones! :)

Made me smile and was strangely relaxing! Good fit with the theme and funny ending. Good work :)

Nice gotcha at the end!

I think it was an engaging and accurate gold fish simulator. I made it to the end! The world is too small for a fish!

lol what did i just play amazing nonetheless

This was somehow both distressing and calming. I love the win screen XD

This is certainly one of those games that gets easier the further you play - the food was much harder to catch when you're tiny! I was a little gutted that I didn't grow any further after I scored 1,000 points and I would've liked to have seen some enemies in there too to give it more challenge - but overall I hope you carry on making games and developing your skill and I hope you enjoyed it!

I like this take on the theme! ;)
