Demon fish #12 is Sifl!

It started to look vaguely like a sock puppet of the same name that I enjoyed as a kid ๐Ÿคฃ

Anyone remember that show?

After fixing the initial jam bugs, enough people were enjoying the game that I decided to double the content and this was the first of the new common fish!

One of the oldest areas in the game, that barely had any visual modifications since 2022 now has a redesign, i think it looks pretty cool, like a mountain

Bonus image, a dungeon using the same tile set but it bugged out because it surpassed the tile limit

The 6th Demon Fish is Stagfish!
๐Ÿ‘ฟ๐ŸŽฃโ˜ ๐Ÿงญ

After the game jam was over I went back and more than doubled the content in Demon Fish Dead Ahead.. Then went back and doubled it AGAIN! ๐Ÿ‘€

So the upcoming steam release has over 4 times the content of the jam version!๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฏ

The 5th demon fish made was Floppy! ๐Ÿ‘ฟ๐ŸŽฃโ˜ ๐Ÿงญ

...Probably my favorite, but I'm not really sure why ๐Ÿ˜„

The jam version of Demon Fish Dead Ahead was made in 7 days and included a bug that set the players health to 0 after leveling up!๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Bigeye is the 4th demon "fish" I made for Demon Fish Dead Ahead ๐Ÿ‘

The jam's theme was spooky so I decided that not all the sea creatures in hell needed to be fish shaped ๐Ÿ˜„

GBJam12 was a 10 day jam but I was 3 days late in starting ๐Ÿ‘€

This one is called Spike, since its got a horn on its nose ๐Ÿ‘ƒ
The last was Beard Fish btw, since it appears to have stubble ๐Ÿง”
