Sadly the ship get's caught on the corner so i had to retry several times until i knew what i should do. Mood-Wise and Audio-Wise it is very good though.

Oh is there a way to win the game? I just thought it was a little sandbox thing to play with. Anyways, I really like the art, the whale is pretty adorable :]

I had a lot of fun repeatedly clicking and making the whale fly above water, I even got him on top of a boat haha. Even if there's no goal, the game is pretty fun to play around with, especially with the sound effects.
Though it'd be nice to have a goal or something to do. If there was one and I missed it, maybe a bit more communication for those of us who don't get it?

Overall, it's a cute, fun, little game :]

The game isn't loading for me in either Firefox or Chrome. I'm on a Mac.

It took some to figure out what to do and still not sure what is the point. Mood is great

Great whale, shame you ran out of time!

I like the whale sounds. :-)

I am not sur to understand the goal :(. But I love the whales !

The whale is the cutest thing ever. Sad to hear you ran out of time, but awesome you still submitted!

Weee, flying whale!

Cute game! You definitely have a good basis, just need to find some gameplay mechanics and it could be a great game!

Bumping into ships was fun and the whale looks jolly. Cute little entry.

Being a whale on the moon has been quite an experience, thank you but... is there a goal?

gigitrix 2014-04-29 22:48

Interesting toy, and I like the sound/music!

Not really a game, but grats for .. managing to make something.

I'm jealous of your tagline though. Can I borrow it?

crowbeak 2014-04-30 13:22

I like being able to fly. I wish you had gotten more done on it, but it is highly entertaining.

pancakecity 2014-04-30 19:56

I liked the whale's sound effect :D

I'm not sure to get the goal of the game,
but I kinda like the graphics, the colors give a cool atmosphere, especially the moon! nice draw =) maybe graphics could be polished a bit more, e.g. more layers for the sea.

<zwzsg> I got a ship stuck on the moon nose. Now what?
<jeffz> zwzsg: you've basically completed the game in its current incarnation

dreii 2014-05-01 06:32

Whale, grate! Cool noises :)

gagapete 2014-05-01 16:21

Nice start, not much of a game though. I had fun hanging on the boats. :)

jupiter_hadley 2014-05-02 03:38

Such a cute looking game! I included this game in part 7 of my Ludum Dare Compilation video series if you'd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/Lm7qNa6SIqA

Ha, that whale is so cute! :D
I'd love to see a post compo version with more things to do! ;)

nezzhil 2014-05-03 17:37

A bit confusing, seems like need an objective. Nice audio work.

frozencow 2014-05-04 18:45

Too bad you didn't got any gameplay elements in it, but it was great fun. I flew to the moon!

cr2crstudios 2014-05-05 05:05

I give large kudos for making a whale sim. :)

gmaker 2014-05-05 07:51

cool =)

THE MOON

rincewind_cz 2014-05-08 16:10

Flying whale crashed to the moon, and the ship was pushed into the black hole. :-)
