It's a bit challenging to control at the beginning, but then it's a lot of fun to play. It seemed like a strange idea to me, but the truth is, it's really enjoyable hahah

Relaxing movement indeed. The romantical story is so romantically romantical I could not keep my tears. And it is a lot challenging. Great job

The physics can be a little wonky. But I loved the atmosphere of the game; the lighting and music really set the mood. The gecko is really cute, and it was very satisfying to crawl on walls super fast. I really appreciate the IK on the gecko’s legs and their floppy tail. The angler fish reveal was super cool, too!

Great job, I had a great time! I beat the game in a little under 7 minutes.

Rate no. 10

The good stuff:
- I love the player movement and had no issues with it on keyboard
- The music and sound effects fit the game
- It looks great, I love the rain world style player character
- The story was nice, makes the game feel more complete
- The levels all felt unique and connected, even if they all looked the same visually
- The liked the different kinds of enemies

The stuff to improve in:
- the UI is just basic text, it would be much more visually appealing if it was an icon and a number next to it. The oxygen could have been replaced with a bar.
- The weakest part of the game is definetly the theme; putting it into the story and calling it a day is not enough to get a high rating in it. Think of it this way: could you guess the theme during gameplay? Here, you can't.

Overall a really good game with a couple small problems, I had a lot of fun playing this one!

Agreed with BiggestBoof - the opening cutscene to this was so sweet. Really appreciate the effort you put in to giving the game a bit of a story!

After that, I felt a little lost; like I was just sort of swimming in the dark for a bit, the walls were kinda hard to see and it felt like I was already doing something wrong haha. Weird that you have to do that before seeing the controls; would have been nice to see the controls sooner maybe?

Having said that, a very cool and unique take on the theme. I love the gecko's movement - though it can be a bit fiddly at times, it's really cool how his tail moves & how the movement changes based on if you're swimming or not.

Great entry, really enjoyed!

Fun gameplay and and I love the story

The opening cutscene was very cute. I would have honestly loved more of them. The game was good, but I would have loved to see some of the mechanics have more relevance. For example, the oxygen never seemed to be relevant, which was a bit sad since it seems to be the main conceit of the story, the gecko proving that he can handle the water to be with his one true love. <3

Either way though, I had a lot of fun, thanks for making the game!
