Fish Well is a mysterious knowledge-based puzzle game inspired by Animal Well by Billy Basso

@ GMTK Game Jam 2024, Theme: Built to Scale
> Overall: #287/7569, Style: #124/7569

Me and Dusk initially thought that the theme was dogshit, but then, after some brainstorm whiteboarding, we found 4+ things related to "Scale":

• Scale of an object, obviously
• Scales, the thingy you use to measure weight, whatever
• Major/Minor musical scales
• Scaling/climbing a mountain/something
• Fish scales

We combined all of them into a complete idea:
A game where you use major/minor melodies to alter properties of objects to solve box-stacking/climbing puzzles.

I took care of all the programming, game design, level design and audio.
Dusk made art for the character and the flute, plus tiles for level art.

The game turned out very ambience-focused, there are no menus, no ui, everything is in the game world, including the volume slider!

It's also kinda hard, you'll need to take a couple notes.
(As well as perfect pitch for a single puzzle, which i provided a solution to in the description of the game, lol)

The game is freely available on itch.io.
