Art and sound were amazing! I think the controls were a bit sluggish but was honestly fine with all the animals to look at! I didn't quite understand what was going on with the player dialogue but great ambience and mood.

Art is so cute! I love underwater themes and this is amazing.
I really loved the art. But I would have wanted some things to interact with, instead of just pressing the down arrow and waiting for the story to finish.
I like the mood of this game, but it quickly gets boring.
It reminds me of Abzû in so many ways, and I loved Abzû ;)
However, the music was way too loud, to the point where at minimal volume I still had to take off my headphones. I don't think it was intended, but it also introduced some distortion (clipping) effects, causing painful clicks.
Other than that, this is one of those amazing entries that seems to push the limits of what's possible in a game jam!
WOW. Absolutely stunning! The best graphics and mood I've seen so far this contest!
It's amazing how many little details are in this game, like the fish that swim away from the player or the light. I hope more people will rate your game.
Good job!
Very cute game, relaxing
Nice experience, all the elements worked really well together. The slow shift in tone was extremely well executed and kept me going deeper to see what I'd find.
Really great experience, well done! Maybe disable the "humor" rating though?
Beautiful visuals and audio. Great experience!
Well done, this was really nice although took a sad turn in the story
Loved your concept, the progress in the experience is open enough for interpretation but it's content has striked me hard. Congrats for the project!
Very nice experience! Simple gameplay, but engaging because of the beautiful art and story. Also, there was an impressive amount of variety in the art! I think you did a really good job at making each biome memorable and distinct.
Art and sound were absolutely fantastic ! Beware that there's a couple of typos, and some dialogues don't really sound correct, but it gets the point across. Looks FANTASTIC really
Oh lala j'adore 🤿
Incroyable comme nos jeux se ressemblent dans l'ambiance et les pilliers de designs mais ont quelques idées un peu différentes pour y arriver!
J'adore tous vos poissons, les animations du plongeur sont si belles, le pixel art est très très polish! Les décors et effets visuels (lumière, particules, déformations) sont splendides, j'espère que je saurais faire des choses aussi quali un jour!
La liberté de mouvement ajoute un sentiment d'exploration, et la narration est très bonne, bravo!
Merci j'ai passé un bon moment 💕
A stunning game! Super cool graphics, a polished experience and a surprising ending!
Olalala je suis très perturbée... Est-ce que nous sommes soulmates? :D Comme l'a dit Doot, votre jeu ressemble énormément au nôtre, mais le plus drôle est qu'il ressemble ENCORE PLUS aux idées/envies de départ que nous avions chacun lancées mais qui n'ont pas abouties: - La liberté de mouvement et l'inertie côté Doot (qui codait le jeu) - De mon côté (côté visuels), l'idée de cité enfouie, les méduses géantes, le fond qui devient très rouge en profondeur, la présence de dialogue interne un peu plus marquée, les effets lumineux...
Ce sont toutes des idées dont nous avions parlé pendant la jam, et les voir si bien réalisées dans votre jeu fait chaud au coeur! :) En tout cas, l'exécution du jeu est impeccable, le pixel art très beau, la narration très prenante, les mouvements naturels et agréables... A deux, un tel résultat est incroyable! Un grand bravo à vous pour ce superbe jeu!
There was some issue with my hardware and it crashed many time while switching tabs, but I reloaded it like 4-5 times to play again, very nice concept and execution! J'adore ça!
You succed to make a nice game and give a very good mood on the theme. That, maybe, missing on something on the controls, but i'm impressed by your work, you made a polished experience.
> Well done :slight_smile:
Wow...fantastic arts & musics !
I love how the gameplay was minimalist and yet managed to completely immerse me in the mood...very clever and elegant, congrats !
Un peu tardivement, mais avec autant d'enthousiasme, j'admire comme Doot et Dodidouda les ressemblances avec Selkö, tout en appréciant les différences. J'adore le design minimaliste des rochers et des poissons, l'usage de la lumière et la transformation progressive des paysages marins. C'est un beau jeu, qui nous immerge dans son histoire... Un grand bravo !
Très sympa, c'est cool de voir des jeux qui ne demande rien de plus que de contempler et d'apprécier l'ambiance et les graphismes sans s’embêter avec des contraintes de gameplay comme des ennemis ou de l'endurance.
