This is really nice and relaxing! I'm getting the same vibes as those old 2000's Shockwave.com games. I think it would be just a bit better if the maps didn't tilt and there wasn't a sound effect played every time you moved, I think that kinda disrupts the quiet, relaxing nature of the game (especially if you spam the controls).
Thanks for the feedback Mark! I do agree that the sound effect is a bit jarring, I want to change it to where it only goes off once and doesn't play again unless the character becomes completely still again. However the tilt goes with the story: the pond is supposed to be floating in the sky and you have to tilt it to make the fish move, it's part of the core gameplay. I think it's associated with that loud sound effect and that might be what makes it seem jarring to you, so hopefully when that's fixed it'll be much less disruptive to the calm nature of the game! We all appreciate your support 💜
hey no problem!! 💜 with the tilting you could do something interesting where the pond tilts a bit smoother, i think there's an add-on for Unity that helps gives things a smoother movement/rotation to stuff, but BurtBot knows more about that tho haha
That was originally the idea, with the harsh tilt originally only used for dev purposes, but BurtBot himself said he preffered the jolted tilt! I don't have a preference personally. However, I just built v1.01 with some bug fixes, and that includes changing how the SFX works for movement! I think it will be a bit better for players. I don't have access to edit this page, unfortunately, so I have to wait to be given access for me to add it.

Overall, this is some great work!
