Interesting. The plants especially react so naturally to the diver, it makes this pixel world feel real. Beautiful job!

Great little game, enjoyed it a lot! Did you guys use procedural animation, too?

This was a lot of fun, could grow into a really unique game. 

I really enjoyed this game - the storytelling, the world, that even has some really strange beings, the classic mystery and the beautiful artwork. And a secret ending, too :-))

Wow. Just wow.

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!

:-)

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!!

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 !
