v0.2.1 Released!


Version 0.2.1 of the game is now available! This features 2 pretty important changes:

  1. The instructions have been updated, which should more clearly define how to move and what to do!
  2. If you get too far away from the food, you will start the round again. This should help avoid situations where you get lost in the ocean with no way to know where to go!

Let me know how you go!

Cheers, Bowman

Nice update!

This resolved the issue that prevented me from finishing Stage 1 in your previous version. I got Rank D on my first try and then Rank A on my second attempt.

You’re right that the volume differences are subtle. The toughest aspects of getting under par seem to be understanding which direction to turn is most optimal, and then not overshooting your turn before echolocating again. Once it’s in the center with full volume, it’s pretty easy to advance to the next round.

Also, the later stages are very smart in how they introduce more systems and mechanics that build into the very satisfying Stage 5. I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to progress enough during the jam to recognize the depth in design here.

Cheers!
