Nice work on the artwork. Bit of a short game, but an interesting concept.

Removed duplicate comment
I like the idea, but I unfortunately wasn't able to get too far as I couldn't for the life of me figure out what or where the magic pearls are, but that might well be user error. Good job though!
Great artwork, especially the backgrounds and the fish swimming about. Might need better instructions, to make it clear you need to get pearls from clams to make any real progress.
I found it! :smile:
The art is so cute. I have drowned sometimes before I understood how pearls work.
Nice work!
Nice artwork. Missed instructions on-screen. But managed to get some where
I like the art, its really cute! The world is quite big, I went a long way to the right first, only to discover the treasure is right at the start! It took me a couple of tries, but I got it! Good work :)
The breathing system reminded me of Subnautica! The pixel art is cute, congrats! o/
So calm and relaxing... this is my first time playing a mermaid game and I really liked it. Great work :smile:
Good job) nice pixel art, but i would recomend to remove filtering so it won't look blurry. Also fun bug when there's only half of the body appearing under the water)
PLayed for a little while, took me a few attemps to work out what to do, was a fun short game.
Ended too quickly, which there were more clams. I think it reminds me of the Ecco the Dolphin game.
Small guy, nice idea, fits the theme
Some remarks though: - It is possible to see the gray background when going on the far right when on the surface - The Game Over and win screen have a bit of size issue it seems (maybe it's just on my computer though) - There should be a bit more instructions / visual cue regarding the magic pearls
Anyway, still a calm and relaxing idea good job!
Can confirm the scaling works fine on the game screen but it doesn't on the other two. The swimming is a bit slow and the game would have needed one more day, but it does work.
Great atmosphere
I was holding down keys to keep moving, and it got "stuck" with moving in one direction. I suppose I should not complain, because this ended up taking me right to the treasure! I was pleasantly surprised a little bit into the game when I found some fish.
I tried a few times and finally understood how it works ;) at first I thought it's a mario-like pearl which extends breath when you are around it, then I found I have to get back to surface again so it refresh to a new maxium value
anyway, very lovely graphics and sound is good, got potential to expand to a larger game.
The lack of sound really improved the experience!!
Cheers!!!!
I got interesting experience, thanks!
Simple and effective game. I always love the experience of being able to get upgrades that let me do things such as hold my breath longer. I died the first time figuring out all the mechanics and was able to get the treasure the second time. Cute art!
