Really cool mini metroidvania-style game with great art and music. The checkpoints, extra weapons, and buffs are nice additions, and the boss at the end is a great bonus. Good game!

Feel free to check out our game as well!

This is an amazing game, I tried to find a way to give you a 4star on any category but everything about this is top notch! You are contesting with Astral Bloom in terms of quality and precision! Well Done!

Perhaps you would like to try out my game :D

Amazing work! The level design and how things interact with the player are honestly top-notch. My absolute favorite part has to be the checkpoint animation—I loved it so much! Definitely deserves 5 stars

if you have some free time,I'd be happy if you tried my game.

Very polished game overall.

The gameplay feedback is excellent, and the visuals look great.
There’s a good variety of enemies, and the environment is well designed.
Really clean work! 

Game play was awesome, it's crazy you got all this done in one week! I think a different font could work better though, the antialiasing made it a little bit blurry and hard to read. Amazing work!

Very polished little platformer, pretty nice. It's hard to dodge the bullets but at least the enemies drop health consistently so it's forgiving. Love the particles and how the environment is responsive to your actions, and the artstyle is solid. The fish character reminds me a bit of earthworm jim combined with megamind's minion. You achieved a lot in a week, well done!

Impressed by the beautiful environmental effects and quirky animations, I loved the fish swimming in the checkpoints! Really fun to play with the laser gun :D Great work!!

Great Game! I love this style of game and the artstyle and animations were so fun. Especially the save

This game looks amazing, i really like the little firefly things in the background 🔥

Not gonna lie I immediatley pulled out the auto clicker and made the first gun into a minigun. Until i figured out about the laser rifle. Great game though!

Everythigs is great, but being able to shoot only horizontally is such a pain. I have to purposefully jump into enemy bullets just to shoot back and gamble away my life because im not sure will my own bullets reach the enemy. Everything else, the movement, mechanics are great. I loved playing Metroid Zero Mission so this feels like home to me

Really well made game. Would love ability to crouch to dodge projectiles. Liked the save point animation. Good game.

Small things, like your save animation, honestly makes games pop, and your does! Well made level design, strong world building with the environments. Polished level art and poppy colors. Really well made, and atmospheric music with sfx that fit well. Now, except that it's strange, cute, and the save animation (<3), it's basically a space marine with a gun. Wish we focused more of it being a fish somehow.

very fun little game, my fav weapon was the laser

That's fun! Really liked the save animation 

This was fun, tight and pretty to look at, and as a fellow fish lover its good to see representation of crab hate. Crabs are bad and more people need to know.

If I am nit picky I would have liked to see a matching pixel art light system, and a little more game juice for effects and hits would elevate this so much.

This is a fantastic resource would help the game feel alot:
