This was a very cute and fun and original game. Super cute and appropriate for a gamejam in scope for sure! I loved the art and colors. I chuckled at the story as I went along. The gameplay is very simple but the visuals and audio are great and add a lot to the fun quirkiness of the game. I liked your sprites and menus. The first time I clicked through I didnt really get the point of what I was supposed to do but I guess its simple enough. Not much of a challenging game but just fun and enjoyable little text-based adventure. I did notice a couple aspects were not strictly 64x64 pixels but that didnt really affect my rating. I was a little bit disappointed that the Hammerhead shark and Mako shark I unlocked didn't have their own sprites, but maybe that's a stretch goal! I'm sure all the sprites and animations took so much time! Great job! Keep up the good work! I love that both of us had a cute aquatic theme but I loved what you did with it!

Thank you for playing and your kind comments!
I tried to make a game that uses some brighter colors this time to emphasizes its childlike silliness. I try to adhere to strict pixel perfect as much as I can but with modern engines it’s pretty easy to break away from it so I think I tend to not be able to in the end. Maybe some day haha.
And yeah the sprites and the difficulty not having much variations is something I that had to cut. I put in the system to tally scores which was supposed to affect your final success rate but it ended up not doing anything so you basically just play a reading game haha.
Either way I’m glad you was able to enjoy some of it. Thanks again for playing!
