Very well done project. From the get go you can tell exactly what type of character and feel you are going for. I love the cartoon effect of the shark, it’s very unique. The clouds and sky look great and compliment the music and sound effects very nicely. I don’t really have any criticism to offer except that the movement feels a bit unintuitive at the start but is easy to adapt to.

Sorry for the confusion. You can change directions by using the arrow keys.

Sorry if I didn’t make it clear, but you can change directions by using the arrow keys.

Nice job. The first thing that jumped out at me was the toon shader that you used for the shark. It does a good job of reinforcing the dream like feel. The clouds, ambient music, and waves reinforce the theme well. The moving is fluid and flowing, fitting for a dream like state.

It would have been nice to be able to change directions, but having the shark rotate around in a circle furthered the dreamlike state. Also, the clouds seem to end after a while. I feel that it would be better if they stayed throughout the duration of the play through.

Right from the start you can tell you’ve chosen a shark for the avatar and once you move it’s clear you chose for “dreamy” movement, good job! I think you did the dreamy style of movement very well, I like how the shark seems to drift about as you move it! The environment for this is also very creative and fitting in my opinion. Perhaps a little more interaction could occur with the environment. Overall though you did an awesome job, continue the good work!

Good thought, very creative. I like the cartoonish rendering, I think it supported the dream state quiet well. Clouds, avatar design, and little shark movement are just awesome.

But I really wasn’t able to turn around, I was just rotating and going back and forth.

Sound also goes very well with the theme.

Good job, it was a very good experience 🙂

I like this project a lot! It’s very creative, very different than the skeleton. The model and space are well made. I especially love the tail movement of the shark; it is very cute.

You did a good job of conveying the theme. The cloud definitely gave me a dreamy feeling. The sound did the job too but I wish it wasn’t that harsh. The sound gave me more of the feeling that I was a pirate sailing in the sea at night.

Nonetheless, I was having fun flying around. I was flying way off the cloud zone before I figured out the arrow keys change direction :P.
