I really loved this, good job! What a great take on the theme. Simple but fun design. I found myself playing multiple levels and the staggered difficulty progression felt really good.

Wonderful game! The art is adorable and the gameplay really fun! It gets harder and harder pretty smoothly and it makes you to wanna play it again! The only problem is that it bugged at one point, when i finished the 5th or the 6th level. Overall, excellent game for real :)

Nice concept, simple but efficient ! Graphics and sound are really cool perfect for the game. Maybe you can add a time to increase the challenge or a scoring system.
Anyway great game in mobile style ! Good work !

This could be a whole mobile game, it was fun but I felt it was too easy, maybe scaling a little bit the difficulty in the last levels, but great job, launch it on the play store if you can!

Nice puzzles!

How does the game end? I don't know if it is a bug, but on one level the octopus kept touching the treasure but did not pass to the next level.

I liked the Puzzles system, I recommend decreasing the resolution that is configured for the game display in the itch, as it ends up cutting a lot of pieces and the person has to keep looking for where the fullscreen button went, I had to reduce it to 70% to make it ideal , but nothing that gets in the way of fun, there should be something more noticeable that should catch the ball, and an answer saying that you have to hit the pass when it is more than once, congratulations again a big hug!

I loved the art, and the one button hit puzzle concept is successful. Well done.
Some nice ocean style chill music would be perfect.

I guessed from previous comments that it was the end when my little octopus started being way too happy about his treasure :p

I really enjoyed this game! Also fits the theme well. The early levels are a good introduction to the mechanic so the later ones can be really interesting to play. I'd suggest adding some more details to the rings to make it easier to perceive their direction and velocity.

I could imagine that this concept could also work well with an infinite level, if you want to look into that. Great entry!

Gameplay is nice and its not too repetitive, it is also managable to beat within 10 minutes, exact the right size to rate it appropiatly. The Audio was fitting but it felt a bit empty with just the bubbles and the SFX. Otherwise a nice game!

Thank you Guys for all the kind word,
it means a lot for us, @yword great to hear you enjoyed it!!! @tino he is a happy octopus LOL, but sirecely that is what we managed to squeeze in the 72 hours, working on the rest as we speak. @thewustache we do plan to add some ship wreck elements on the ring, and what did you mean exacly for infinite level? sounds interesting. @feraligatr we recived a lot of feedback reagrding the sound, defently one of the first things to fix!

thanks again!!!!!

Nice little puzzle game!

Here are my feedback:

_Positive points
- Clever usage of the theme
- The main character is cute
- It controls really well, it felt responsive
- Good SFXs

_Negative points
- No music during gameplay
- The LD elements are quite simple visually compare to the main character

Overall: gg for your work!

Pretty fun overall but could use a bit of polishing: an ending screen after the last level would be nice as the octopus just got stuck into the treasure for the last level, I thought it was a but. The ability to move around the circle you currently are (with a and d or arrows) would add a bit of energy to the game as waiting for the opening to come back to you was sometimes a bit long when you miss it. Menu music was nice so it's a bit sad to not have it during the game.

Quite a nice result, I loved the graphics and you made a pretty good level design :D

Also, you can add your team members to the author of the game: it will allow them to rate other games to get a better smart balance ;)

What a charming puzzle game. The first few levels were very much the same, but once you added the mines and other lethal obstacles it really came together. Pretty solid art, decent sound effects - all that was missing was some music.

I wonder if there's a more in-theme solution for the black circles, maybe some kind of whirlpool effect, but it's hard to give critiques other than that. Good job!

Sweet game! The puzzles are well thought out :)
The only thing I was missing was an end screen or something similar when you finished the last level. But nevertheless, well done!

Fun Game! No complaints here. I thought I'd add this image so you could see where the octopus gets stuck.

Fun little game. Didn't think i play so many levels as I did :D Got something interesting here.

The character design is super cute!
The game design very well-rounded! I like how each level fits into the screen, every time you know where to go, the structure is the same, but the layout is always different.
The idea to add a pink sphere to deviate player movements from going only straight to the center to make him go somewhere else first is a fun and easy to digest deviation.
Overall a very polished and pleasant experience)

Love the artwork! Very vibrant. The game is fun to play and I like the difficulty progression. Excellent use of the theme as well. One suggestion I have is I think collecting the pink orb should make the boundary disappear rather than let you pass through it.

I ran into a bug where once I hit the chest the player jittered back and forth and the level wouldn't end. Not sure which one it was because I couldn't back out but I'm attaching a screenshot if it helps.

[We played your game on stream this weekend!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/781046795?t=01h36m44s)

Our first piece of advice: Please please PLEASE put screenshots of your game on your game page! Y'all have a very cute game on your hands, and more people need to see it! :slight_smile:

The game itself is also very fun! It's a super unique premise while at the same time being nice and simple to understand. I think y'all deserve more attention for this one.
