Wow I feel like this game was made for me. I see a seal and I click! Really interesting idea having the different seals in the pod acting as lives. The effect of watching your previous self die is surprisingly effective from a narrative standpoint and very interesting. I hope you keep expanding on this after the jam, I would like to play more levels and see the ringed seals frolicking free across the beach. Nice submission!

I'm glad you liked it! Unfortunately I'm not sure if I'll have time in the near future to finish the project, but I'll let you know if I do! There's many things I wish I had time to implement, since I only had 3 1/2 days to do this. For now, you can imagine what I imagined for the game...
- Plants and moss around
- Glowing vegetation giving the lights in the dark cave (multiple colours)
- Little fish swimming around giving some extra life to the scene
- Extra obstacles: cracks in ground / wall with steam/lava coming out, maybe an angler fish mixed with the glowing plant lights
- Sweet particle systems for various things like swimming animation, rocks colliding etc.
- Cutscenes for level transition (have the animations done, just didn't have time to implement)
- A more varied cave with different paths
- Sound effects
