Fun game with an important topic, but is it really about saving Earth or saving us from ourselves? Anyway, very nicely done.

Submitted

verry relaxing game, good job

Developer

Thank you :)

Submitted

Great theme! Really spoke to me!

Developer(+1)

Thanks.  I learned a lot about the state of the world's oceans as part of this jam.  I had a much longer and worrying intro written that I did not use.  It's scary stuff and I'm certainly looking at the plastic I use day to day now.  Did you know that microplastics are now found in 80% of human blood?  I hope we fix this mess.

Submitted

Yep! Even found  in the blood and brain tissue of fetuses!!! And it's not chemically inert either! Have you read about pm 2.5 in air pollution? We've got to create change and educational video games that create really feelings around these issues I think are a great idea! I was kinda going for a similar thing but much more abstract with my game. I love your efforts here and I think we need more of this!

I didn't find any mutated fish :(

Developer(+1)

Literally, one line of code prevented the whole gameplay loop of pollution management, combat with mutated fish, making families, fish dying, even going to other biomes from triggering after the last quest.  I just ran out of time to test and had to literally throw it on itch.io in the last minute of the jam.  That's Jams for you though.  It was great fun making and I learned a lot.  I'll fix the bugs afterward and I am sure it will get a few plays :)  I'll make damn sure there are lots of mutated fish :)

Amazing game, with a great message, a beautiful atmosphere, superb style, and calm gameplay. 10/10

Developer

Thank you.  That is very kind

Submitted

That was really good, great theme, really relaxed and sooo polished for a game made in a few days, incredible. Great job

Developer

I'm chuffed to bits you enjoyed it :)

Submitted

Very pretty and relaxing. I could get lost for hours.

Developer

I was aiming for that.  Thank you so much

Submitted

Very chill, very good-looking. I know you didn't finish the gameplay loop entirely but you pretty much showed everything within the tutorial so I got a good idea of what it would look like.

Developer

I really appreciate that, thanks :)

Submitted

Relaxing yet powerful game with it's message. The atmosphere is nice and chill and blowing bubbles is fun. Sad you didn't have time to add the main gameplay loop in, but I'm glad you submitted anyway. Awesome job!

Look beautiful , and music is really chill (and is fun also). Only complaint I have is that after some time i ran out of orphan fish to collect so I was just left to wander. Aside from that awesome game.

Developer

Yeah, I don't know why but the timer that's supposed to trigger on the last quest to continually spawn fish and pollution does not work.  So effectively, the game ends up being just a tutorial for the game that is there but...  Oh its so painful to think about how much is there but.. isn't.  Just 30 mins more... lol. I love and hate Jams :)

Submitted

Lmao yeah, I know the feel last year I submitted with 49 seconds left.

Developer

We are bonded in our pain :)

Submitted

Really like the message, beautiful background too , was fun to make fish families while it lasted

Developer

Thanks :)

Submitted

Wow, nice graphics.

Developer

I taught myself how to use magica voxel and stacked sprites for this jam.  I love all these 2D tricks :)

nice game, the music so sad :( great job.

Developer(+1)

Thank you  so so so so much :)

Submitted

Fun and wholesome game with a great message.

Appreciate the direction you have chosen :). Beautiful chill game, absolutely love the music, did you made it youself?

Developer(+1)

Music came from alkakrab on itch.io.  Find him here https://alkakrab.itch.io/ or  https://alkakrab04.wixsite.com/music-alkakrab   Work of a genius!

Submitted

Super chill gameplay and I love the art style. UI looks great and is fun to play. Not sure what else you were planning to do with it, but what you have is really cool! :)

Developer

Thank you so much

All artwork was done by myself apart from the backgrounds and waste piles and jellyfish which were created in mid journey.

Developer

Totally ran out of time on this one.  Uploaded 14 seconds before the deadline.  Please please forgive the fullscreen/viewport glitch.  Please forgive the fact that it is unfinished.   I aimed way way too high on this one given the time I had.  I hope it gives you a sense of what I was trying to achieve.  Thanks for playing
