This was such a heavy-hitting topic you made the game on. Thank you for using the theme this way. It was an amazing and very creative way of thinking. The gameplay and art were just amazing. I think even animations were really good except the walking animations but it's a game jam and you have done a marvelous job. Thankyou for this game.

Please consider playing and rating my game as well. I would really appreciate it!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words. I played your game as well. Really liked the ambience and animations. I kept dying, but that's probably because of my gaming skills : )

I like the environmental angle and creative take on the theme. The menu art is gorgeous and it feels good helping out the wee turtles. It might overstay its welcome a bit with the simplistic gameplay, but I really enjoyed it. Good job.

The music really does bring soul to this title. Really well done! ♥

Almost everything about the game is super polished! The music is calm but not overwhelming or annoying! I dont quite see the theme for the jam, it might be less pollution means more turtles?  Great job! its only fair i play your game after you play tested mine :)

On mac, it says that the game was corrupted and couldn't be installed. But it looks beautiful.

Developer

It worked on my mac, so it might have become corrupted during the compression. I'll try uncompressing that file and trying it out again. Unfortunately, we cannot upload a fix until the game jam is over. Thanks for letting us know.

I hope I'll be able able to play later! Being vegan and having worked in animal sanctuaries, I really like the concept. I'm kinda tired of shooting ennemies in video games...

I loved this game! Everything about it is so beautifull, the art, music, gameplay and the message.

It's stupid but I just loved that moment when you let the clean turtle swim off to the ocean. Only for that I cleaned them all :D

Cheers and congrats on the game!

There's something very soothing about these simple types of games. I also love the message you presented, a wholesome idea and well executed within the game medium.

Love this game, really nice visuals, a nice calm and peaceful atmosphere and a wholesome message.

 Feedback-wise, it took me a while initially to find a turtle, maybe one could've been place near the start as a tutorial. Also the medical tent was a bit tricky to find initially until I learned the layout of the map.
