why is the momentum like that? the momentum seems to be kept unless you release all keys, which means diagonal movement basically forces you to drift
the gameplay would feel more standard if the fih always kept the same slippery momentum and were forced to manually stop it every time rather than secretly having a "stopper" mechanic only when you release all keys, though i guess it can be worked with. maybe instead of changing the mechanics, just having a large open area without bumps where you can swim around and experience this drift would be enough to at least inform players about it? idk
also i personally would recommend a circle instead of square hitbox for the spikes and definitely for the fih so we dont get caught on the corners a lot but that's just because i have skill issue and need to get better at game instead
As someone who really likes the "simple to understand hard to master" games, I really enjoyed this game! It's difficult in a fun way. The chekpoints are placed, not too kindly, but fairly for the difficulty the game's aiming for. The controls are slippery but not uncontrolable and random. Only being able to dash horizontally also gives some cool level designs.
that was an INSANE game omg, call me a fish filter the way i...got filtered... but as a fish.. like yk the thing in the fish tanks? ykw nvm, it was very hard but very rewarding! get this game to a youtuber immediately! i feel like markiplier or someone like him would love playing something like this, esp the ending that i got the first time i played. also i LOVEDLOVEDLOVED the music! 20/10 vibes all around, spectacular job!
So what endings are there? I got Gilbert ending (which has a swear!) and if I turn on red mode I can get a butterfly ending. Someone mentioned a cat ending, would love to see a video of that! Are there others?
Did the key part first try, but idk whether I completed the game or not. I got to some crimson dimention and then the cat showed up. I didn't have a chance to use the shooting ability.
this game is pretty good, i could not beat it because the game had this really hard section, and then after that WITHOUT A CHECKPOINT there was a very hard key focusing minigame, and then i died and uninstalled the game out of anger. but other than that its pretty cool, love the art especially.
Yeah I did not appreciate that either, but now you can do it easier a second time! I was unable to solve the key minigame but through slowing down a video I discovered the answer is ((7^3)/20)-14 rounded down if you want it.
Really cool game. made me laugh a few times in these 20 minutes. I can also tell it was inspired by Super mario world Underwater theme. The game is like a rage-a bit bullet hell game. 9/10
Hi, I recently noticed some strange traffic on my old project, and now I know why—my project is called FIH (Flash In Hand), and I see that because of the name, people are sometimes redirected from Google to my game instead of yours. I’m going to fix this issue and disable project sharing since it’s been canceled.
I'm leaving this project active for another 3–4 days:
1. so you can see that this link actually existed
2. because I gave people the chance to download it for free so it wouldn't become lost media
PS. Next time, though, I recommend checking to see if the name you're choosing isn't already taken, because this time you just got lucky
The key rotating part was crazy, the first time I thought it was a joke and after failing it a bunch I made a recording and watched it in slow motion to solve it. For anyone who wants the answer, it is key number ((7^3)/20)-14 rounded down.

The music and pixel art is also wonderfull! :D
Got three endings. yay (:
many fih/10
I wanna be a fih now
I agree.
slippery fih and cute car

this game fulfilled my dream of being fih
this game is very fun and has fih (and also Gilbert). 10/10
GILBERT!!!
when I press up and release up and press right. The fih is going upright rather than right, very annoying

Hardest game I've ever played 10/10
i managed to find my friend dilbert and beat the game on red mode, very fun and challenging game
i love it. i am fih

Yeah, i probably won't play it again. Its too hard
Why is the hitbox of the cannon so huge?????

Only play if you love getting fucked over by ice physics ( I am mad because bad)
tbh wasn't too bad, i guess gilbert was somewhat difficult
waiter, Waiter! more crack cocain please!
looks so much fun!
planning on a mac ver anytime soon?
Is it compatible with a 32-bit computer?

fih
Every good game, especially for the first project! Though I really would consider it to be a ragebaiting game by all means
