The hand drawn artwork gives a peaceful vibe to what would otherwise be a sad topic - a dead whale sinking to the ocean floor. Maybe the point is that it's not really sad at all, because as we learn at the end, whale-falls support amazing eco-systems.

nice game, it gives me relax vibes even if it's a survival style, I love the fact that the sprites are hand drawn, awsome,
I invite you to play my game and give me some feedback as well ^^

I love the squishy whale, kinda satisfying to see it moving around in that very squishy fashion ... the soundtrack is dope was really vibing with it ... I thought whales could eat those fish things ... with the bombs and all this gets real crazy ... pretty stunning hand made art in the whales that was awesome

Love the sprites!  The game itself was fun with a melancholy tint to it.

Amazing job! Very visually stunning game with a cool art style. It was a creative idea and I think you did a great job making it work. Nice job! It's always great seeing what newer game developers (especially those using godot) can make.

Looks beautiful, and seeing the environment/enemies change while going down was really cool.

The music doesn’t really fit though.

Very nice game, TIL of a really cool fact at the end of the game, that's quite poetic when you think about it...

Great music, nice pixel art graphics, lovely color transitions as the whale goes deeper, and simple / fun gameplay that keeps you on your toes until the very end. 

Great job!
