Furious Fish v1.0 [EARLY ACCESS]

BUG: Game crashes when you get  stuck on the jellyfish while falling straight down. The video  is what happens after I relaunch it.

BUG: my laptop lags when I use ludwig skin.

yes, I don't own a high end pc but I think a skin that makes your pc lag is an issue.

PS. please disregard if the Ludwig skin is made to actually destroy low end pc.

Welp game done :) 10/10 would play again if i could, the wind at the end very annoying, would probably want to speedrun the game, if it was not there. Will make a post later with all the bugs in ran into getting to the fisherman. was a fun challenge.

The "flat"/"landing" sprite for the different skins is too small compared to the default skin's "landing" sprite. Please make it bigger so Frederick lands more satisfyingly in his different skins!

Net!

The game is in fact possible but I'll never get the last 8 hours of my life back. I definitely got super lucky and oh my god that last wind section was abysmal. I got stuck there for five-ish hours. I feel fulfilled and I'll go to sleep with a smile on my face. 10/10 game.

the first air wave thingy that the mermaid chuchu provides glitched me out o the map or pushed me too high

There are times when the cursor suddenly changes position which in turn max out the charge of the jump

Just having some fun modding :)

So you can get stuck at the very end against the border of the level reloading save works for a fix.

Add a settings menu to toggle stuff like sound effects, voice lines and mouse sensitivity with slider bars, pick resolution with auto by default, also master volume and music if you guys add bgm.

Need to fix the formula for the voice lines, they are not activating most of the time if you fall over 30m, even after falling like 100m, or vice versa they pop with a small one. You can also make it so it triggers mid air rather than when it stops falling.

Also after certain points/stages it's pretty much impossible to fall to the bottom, the most i've seen is about 150 to 200m fall, and games like this usually have moments where you can screw up and fall to the beginning, like Getting Over It or that Chained Together one, so maybe you could position some blobs, jellies, inclined surface, etc., where you would expect the player to land to achieve a harder fall if they do it in a specific way like if they over shoot to the edge of the screen, or some other very bad jump at a certain point?

You also wanted to make the bubble pop when it touched an urchin, if you do that you may also want to make the bubbles be more sensitive to touching stuff, specially blobfishes, so maybe like if it touches another surface add an effect to show it's affected and reduce the duration by like a second or so, harsher if it touches a blobfish, like 2-3 secs, and maybe not affected only if it touches a jellyfish since that's like the softest thing in the game? And you could also add an indicator when the bubble is about to pop since the duration would change depending on collisions now?

BUG: There's a bug with the turtle where you just kind of bounce on its neck and fall through even though I'm pretty sure the head doesn't even have collision?

BUG: Struck 

also need: Settings with volume control, Sound too low 

Some platforms are invisible. They're still there, but you can't see them. I don't know if this is a problem on my end or not. This applies to upcoming platforms as well as platforms I already pass, but it isn't consistent. Also, some of the platforms reappear when they're about to go off the screen.

bro I can't get consistent in this jump

Absolutely love the game, for someone who has never played platformers before its extremely fun and hard but addicting. One suggestion I'd like to make is to change when voicelines trigger. I know the voicelines trigger when you fall a total increment of X meters (and gradually scales up to 10k meters) but there are moments when you have fallen say , 49 meters, and then jump up 1 meter and down which results in a rather awkward voiceline activation timing. Vice Versa, I have fallen a huge distance of 80-149 meters and the voiceline didn't activate where it'd have been funny if it did. (I'm a noob so I fall alot)

I know Albert has said that the voicelines might get annoying if played constantly but personally it adds to the charm of the game waiting to hear the different voicelines. (Apparently 1.1 will have more so I'm looking forward to it) 

So my suggestion would be to have a chance for certain voicelines to play depending on the distance fallen. E.g (30% chance for voiceline to play at 30-49m fallen , 50% at 50-79m fallen and 100% at 80m or more fallen)

I'm not an expert at coding nor am I an expert at platformer games so what I suggested could just be ignorant rambling (in which case please ignore), if anyone else agrees and have better suggestions please do comment them below this post! 

Once again, thank you guys for hosting this gamejam and I can't wait for the game to be released on steam + watch streamers play it!

I feel like I have to pull too much back for max power it feels weird. Voicelines would feel better with min no play and max must play. Intro is a little too soft compared to the volume of bgm in store. I also have the same voiceline played for my 1st and 3rd voiceline

Some things for Albert and some things for Michael. Albert is 1-12 and Michael is 11-15.


1. Bubble Pop on Urchin
You wanted to add a bubble pop on urchin touch. RN if you hit an urchin with a bubble you stick to it and are in the bubble aswell.

2.  bubble growing on creaton for untouchable indication
You jumped a couple of times through the bubble yourself, because you tried to use it to quickly.

3. make right mouse button cancel jump.
But you have a lot of Event-Mousebuttons that need to be set to leftclick then instead of all mousebuttons 

4. Moving the camera with mousewheel.
same thing with the eventmousebutton for this

5 falling on urchin triggers no voiceline.
A lot of people were complaining, that 100+(arbitrary) meter jumps on urchins don't trigger a voiceline and they should.

6 Forbidden voicelines.
People wanted a minimum fall distance to play voicelines, because it feels dumb to get mocked for repositioning.

7. Forced voicelines.
Maximum distance travel until voiceline is fored. Basically if you fall 150m(arbitrary) there should ALWAYS be a voice regardless of if your other threshholds are met.

8. Stun duration,
in the pufferfish/urchin insanity section stacks up your stun duration A LOT and it stuns you on the clam so long, that you cannot jump off before it triggers.   That could be left in, because it is kind of fun and it only happens there. But you should know about it so you can fix it if you don't like it 

9. aim bug.
pains me to say, but my code still didn't fully fix it. Try the stuff the other guy gave you or your idea. SADGE

9. bottle cooldown indicator. 
A second sprite for the bottle when it is on cooldown, so you don't have to guess when you can spawn a second bubble. could be a little crumpled or smtngh. lilly will figure it out.

10. some people are still experiencing the thing where some assets don't load in for them, but no idea where you would fix that other than....recode everything :D

11. I love you guys, this is such an amazing project and it was so much fun watchin you guys. Thank you very much

12. a settings menu for volumes (michael) and optional inverted controlls (albert)

13. Restart.
A way to restart a run for speedrunning/timing/training purposes.

14.  Main Menu.
A way to get back to the main menu from the game and a way to quit the game inside the game.

15. Fullscreen.
It can still be 1080 with LARGE pixxels, but people really hate windowed mode.   OR maybe just ad a black background around the 1080 window. just so we can hide our desktop and are confined to the window.


That is the list I made while you were playtesting and people said that in chat and some of them you said throughout the day on stream.

PS: suggestion:


Use pink jellyfish as a one time mechanic.
instead of bouncing you like the other jellies. it allows you to charge and release your jump mid air. and you need to use that to reach the hook. so a new mechanic you need to figure out to make it onto the hook. it could be a fun ending. but it's another object and we all know that will only take 15min right?....right?

It could make Frederick glow, so it is more obvious, that he has a new ability.

The power could either be for just one jump, but then the jump should be pretty easy and not punishing imo.

Or it could be a very difficult and punishing jump, but then you should get to keep the power for the rest of the game to get back up.

PSS: In your fluke state when you were dying of sleep deprevation, you made a very weird solution to triggering the ending scene.
You should have just created the hook as an object. basically a plattform. give it a hitbox. make it act like a pufferfish, so you get stuck on it, when you collide with it. and when you collide with it you trigger the cutscene.
The cutscene should also not instantly play, it should allow you to admire your hook touch for a bit.
But brain is brain, when sleep is gone. you were a champ!

PSS: also reset player position to start, when ending plays

Maybe add resolutions, since the UI isnt visible for some people, Im not sure about godot but other engines offer built in solutions for this

BUG: If you fall the fall distance keeps flashing untill you move again.

BUG: If you get clam'd while aiming, your mouse stay hidden after mousebutton release.

game is hard enough, but plinko w/ puffer fish section should still have the chance to drop you even further/ not serve as a check point imo!! Like chances are low that you'll fall below ~620 m but not guaranteed safe ^-^

The first pingpong got me stuck in the wall, then this eventually happen:

my fish won't stop doing a handstand T_T

We really need to be able to resize the window in some way; at least switch between a full-screen mode with black bars on the sides (to maintain original aspect ratio) and the original windowed mode, like with F11. Right now on lower resolution displays, it gets cut off, and on higher resolution, the mouse going off the edge of the window tends to cause control glitches.

no voicelines are being played if you have a deep fall onto an urchin 

The mouse capture isn't perfect, if you do multiple fast jumps in the same direction it wonders of screen.

Edit:I think it happens, because in the fast movement I click and the cursor locks while I'm still pulling back my mouse to get enough space for the next jump.

The game window is bigger than my screen and not resizable.
