Wow, this looks beautiful! I look forward to play it, thanks for making it free :-)

Beautiful demo, wishlisted :-)

What a beautiful little game! Very immersive, loved it :-))

Uh, sorry, saw your question first today... I made them with Krita, a free drawing program. You can use it to animate, too, really good. For the critters I often use photos as a basis, cut them apart in Krita and then paint on them using a drawing tablet. You really need a drawing tablet if you want to make more advanced animations and backgrounds, too hard with only a mouse.

Btw, sad to hear you abandoned your Drake Live game!

Love the details you put into the game - like the display of the legendary Giant Shrimp. I'm curious - what's the story of the Giant Shrimp?

Another thing - haven't managed yet to get past the flying eye - it would be nice to have some health boosts there somewhere...

Have you tried walking through the left door using arrow keys?

Wow, your games are getting better all the time! Love the idea of friendly beasts that can be helpful in the game. And nice animations :)

Btw - will the dragon be able to fly at some point? It has these nice flappy wings...

:-)

You first have to find them, one in each cave, then Blue Critter needs to touch them and they appear in your inventory (mouse over upper part of game window). When you have all seeds, you return to the strange plant in the middle of the main cave and see what happens. 

Hope that helps, please let me know when something doesn't work as expected!

Very enjoyable little game, beautifully painted, good story. Play this, folks!!

Wow, cool! Looking forward to see your game grow :D

Don't worry, that's itch's algorithm, it puts always the newest games at the top. Happens to all of us... Keep up the good wok, really like your little Sisisi critters :)

Just played Sisisi, nice work! I had a problem going up some of the longer ladders, though. When I moved in the middle of the ladder, I sometimes couldn't get to the top. When I climbed on the left side of the ladder, it worked fine - maybe a problem with the collision maps?

Thanks :))

Thank you so much,  really glad you like it!!

Would you mind leaving a rating? It would help the game go up in itch's algorithm so that more folks  can find it.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks, I'll look into the sound bug! Btw, you can explore the orange cave now, opened it yesterday :-)

Thanks for posting the "speedrun"! I noticed that the background sound didn't start as it should when you first entered the underwater cave. Did you install from the .exe or the .zip file? And did that happen only in the blue cave or also in other caves?

Regarding the mazes -  you can zoom out (o) and zoom in (i), makes it easier to find your way :-)

Yeah, you're right, I should add an explanation at the closed doors! Two of the rooms will open soon, I only need to fix the sound  there. The red door and the endgame will take some more time, still not sure  which mechanics I'll use...   I'm working on this on weekends since little over one year, had to learn several programs, figure out how to animate and so on.

Wow, cool! Thanks for posting :-)

Thanks, will do :-)

Thanks! Nothing borrowed here, all homemade :-)

Thanks :-)

Is there any way to change the resolution? It's very small...

Thank you for making this strange and beautiful game, wonderful artwork and sounds! I loved playing it, hope you make more games as unique and imaginative as this one :-)

Very beautiful and relaxing - thank you :-))

A wonderful, immersing game - strongly recommended !
