Ok I have an idea: to summ it up theres a parasite and you need to beat it and in the areas you push back the map slowly recovers/heals back to normal which also affects otherthings like a real ocean would work. Basically everything has it's reason which you can figure out on your own/make your own spin to it and since you play as a marine bioligist you can use your scanner to get information about the area/animals
Does this fit the jam's theme?
