Species by JaviCepa

[raw]
made by JaviCepa for LD35 (JAM)
Life is easy when you are a fish in tropical waters.

Relax and enjoy swimming around and avoiding predators while you pointlessly shapeshift by swallowing weird pink pellets because... theme!!!

-------------

CONTROLS: drag your mouse around, your fish will follow the cursor.

GOAL: try to stay alive as long as possible, enjoy the beauty of the bottom of the ocean, avoid collision bugs.

Tips: eat the pink dots by passing through them to shapeshift.

Nice game! Look great, love the shapeshifting effect. And 360 degree camera is a neat idea - the game effectively plays in 2D but feels like a 3D environment.

Feels like it was missing some mechanics behind the shapeshifting though.

The collision is a bit off and the theme was not well explored. But you did created an ambiance and a mood, for that good job.

Good 3D graphics, i'm not sure why the fish transforms (or for what), i saw some fish in the background having a physics seizure but was cool xD

Once the big fish starts chasing you, it's matter of time you let him eat you (you go at the same speed!)

Nice experience. Relaxing... until you are hunted down by the bigger fishes :D Seeing the shadows on the bottom of the sea is cool. Maybe the distortion effect for the water is a bit excessive sometimes.

Wow, those graphics are amazing!. Low poly worked very well in this game.

Really relaxing but a bit frustrating because, for some reason, my fish buddy didn't want to eat most of the pink dots :S

Great work guys!

At first, I missed the difficulty and a abstract goal (survive). But I must admit I have been playing for several minutes because of the music and animations and feeling.
