Salmon Cycle
Warning: Game may contain flashing lights
Salmon cycle is a game where you play as a salmon going through the life cycle! You will need to survive harsh environments competing against other salmon for food, and surviving many types of predators. Salmon cycle is a short one-and-done experience, and it shouldn't take any more than 10 minutes to complete.
I made this game for the GMTK Game Jam 2025, and my goal was to make a game that looked good, and to some extent I think that goal was achieved. I hope in future years to learn how to better optimize my games, especially since they are running on a web platform (sorry for any lag by the way).
Thank you for checking out my game!
Note: If you are having issues not being able to jump high enough, lower your monitors refresh rate.

salmon racing game
Quite enjoyable. The whole experience is very polished, but the swimming levels could use a higher jump height and some awesome racing music
This is a really fun game. I love the different gameplay modes. And I love the way it ends. The upstream level was the hardest -- almost like a final boss -- and I initially went the wrong way and fell off a waterfall. It was all very fitting and I learned a lot about the Alaskan salmon, too.
