HI randomphantom, thanks a lot for playing. I agree that the dual purpose theme is a bit weak; part of the idea that didn't end up getting done in time was that there would be multiple whales on screen at once - so you would be trying to catch whales on the mattress at the same time as dodging bricks.

I found that "hug the wall to win" problem too but couldn't think of a solution :< maybe whales should be able to pass the sides of the map, which would count as a miss?

Thanks again!

A couple of minutes of entertainment is all I was looking for :D Getting hit by bricks makes you lose score (-100 from the whale's 1000), but the lack of feedback certainly makes the stage feel pointless. Some flashy text when you land a whale, plus even more flashy text for a perflectly unbricked whale would have probably added a lot to the experience.

Thanks a lot for the feedback :D (I'll be able to play your game later today)

Thank you :D After submitting I think I might have preferred some derpy whale sounds, but I guess either works
