Beautiful art, great and peaceful music and simple but enjoyable gameplay. Really great entry! Totally enjoyed the tranquility it brought to play. Nice job!
Good Game
Very nicely done! You absolutely nailed that Zelda feel, it looks really great. The turn in order was not super complicated but you also didn't just swim around in a circle. The islands were just far enough apart that you could drown on the way there (and I sure did) if you missed or ran into something. I really liked the success sound effect. I liked how the docks led you from one island to the next, it gave me a sense of direction without needing a map.
The first time I played I was a big dumb dummy and didn't realize that the egg lady was putting out the basket for me to pick up, so I wound up swimming to every island and getting all 9 aquastones without making a single other trade, thinking that something would be on another island or was behind a tree or something. And the yellow bananas on one tree being different from the others made me think I could pick it up and give it to the monkey. Again, very dumb of me, but that is what happened.
Really great job on this game altogether! Seriously smooth and polished.
really cute game it was fun to go around giving everyone their stuff! love the art and the music as well it was really cute. One thing I noticed is some islands didn't have the docks attached that led to other islands so it was easy to forget if I was going the right direction. But i really loved it it was so cute and a really wholesome game, great job! :D
Simple and fun game, I've always loved the old Zelda quests in this style. Nice to see it being reimagined here! Soundtrack, art and gameplay all worked great together!
I liked it. As in it was enjoyable. Can't wait for more to be added to the story. perhaps it could be adapted to a phone game or a tablet game. Make a whole bunch of random level designs and launch it on the appstore or googlePlay?
Cool game, love the art. Like others said, it would be really neat to have a story/personality behind characters.
I think it's really cute and cozy!
Pretty relaxing. I would love if the NPCs had some kind of dialogue or story to them!
Yeah, I wanted to add some dialogue, but didn't want to rush it so I kept it super simple. I might add it after the jam.
Thanks for playing.
Feels very polished! The Y-sort of some objects could be better, and some collisions felt kinda frustrating in the water, maybe reducing the collision size of some obstacles would help.
I really like the pixel art!
The atmosphere and the overall environment is perfect, for me. Good job!
Spot on! Cosy feel and nicely paced. Would love to see a version with dialogue!
Great game! It should be more popular! If you want, you can play my game here: https://itch.io/jam/-pixel-game-jam-2024/rate/2718966
What a great looking game! I love how simple and clean it is and how intuitive. I can't wait to play more!
Those damn whirlpools kept getting me! I almost had all 9 aquagems! lol. Loved the style. And I liked how the islands were placed juuuuust close enough to barely get there lol. Nice entry!
wow a mixture of creativity and fun nice work!
Good art and music! Trading was fun. Thanks for the great game.
This game is so cute, I really like the art and music! It has a very nice vibe to it! :) Amazing job!
I loved the visuals. I was just left wanting more of it ;)
