Great visuals. The squids were cute. It took a lil while to figure out the goal, had to read the description so I think some indications in the beginning could be helpful. Doin donuts was nice! B) Great job

My squid doesn't move. Keys get recognised - as I can press SPACE to read the dialog/story. But pressing WASD does nothing.

very cute game, I luv the squid designs... overall swimming around is pretty fun, but some clarity on what to do would be nice :3

Thanks for trying it out. The goal is to "enlighten" all the other squids by making them swim through your ink trail. I should have made the reaction more obvious or added a bit of dialogue I guess.

yeh including it in the starting dialogue would have helped... but some visual cues, would be alot better basically making it obvious the little squids are supposed to be swimming on top of the trails u leave behind

Yeah they do change colour and pulse, but I think it gets lost in the rest of the visuals, especially since the camera is moving around constantly.
