nice art, sound and game feel! I have tendonitis so I can't tap the space bar all that much, but it was fun.

Great game feel and game idea!

Omg that's very creative! Very easy and chill to play, the checkpoint clam was a nice touch, and the graphics are cute!

I loved the graphics, very cute! It think you could have lower the difficulty a bit. I died uncountable times on the last challenge, but I managed to beat it!

Relaxing game with cute graphics!

Really nice LD game, with cute comic artstyle, well chosen sound effects and music, multiple enemies, a boss fight.. and OMG thank you for the save points. I made it to the second stage of the end boss.

Really cute! Surprised at how good the controls felt! I was having loads of fun until the boss showed up and it was Super hard. Very cute art and sounds, and lovely smooth gameplay. Maybe boss a tiny bit too hard :D Such a relaxing atomsphere overall. Thanks!

This was so crisp! Very well executed and super fun, those eels will be giving me nightmares but it was very satisfying to finish.

nivbeth 2025-04-08 18:28

Such a nice polished game! I had so much fun with it and I liked it very much. Very fitting entry! :)

I really like the little popping sound effect *pop pop pop pop*, oh and the crinkling sound and turning white when you die. Cute art too!

And "Clampbells" is HILARIOUS to me

Cool and fun game, I enjoyed playing it. Thanks!

Really cute game, I love it!!

Great game with lovely art :)

This game is really addictive! The graphics are super cute, and the sound effects are really cool too

Really nice level design. Specifically I like the way save points are "explained" without the need for text. The art was nice and specifically the animations of the boss were gorgeous. The whole staging for the boss is actually really well done, congrats !

Not sure if I missed something but looks like the sound effects and the music weren't done by you so I'd suggest opting out of the audio category.

Overall great job !

Very unique gameplay!

I was sweating at the last bit with the octopus. Fun game and cute graphics and audio. Only improvement would be to be able to use the mouse and click instead of keyboard controls in my opinion.

thomas-bringer 2025-04-09 21:42

I made it to the end and it was one of my fav games! It's simple but so beautifully executed. The difficulty curve was perfect to me, sure the octopus at the end was hard but it was the last level so that was fine. And the ending was so cute! Thanks for making this!

acarr 2025-04-10 00:21

First thought that crossed my mind when I saw the octopus was how well-animated it was. The second thought was me realizing how hard that section was, haha. Managed to make it through, though! Very cute and hard-to-master game with some interesting movement ideas.

ammonit 2025-04-10 05:19

A pleasant combination of graphics, music, and controls! Excellent!

johncoffee 2025-04-10 16:21

Very nice, clever start and enjoyable play

starl 2025-04-11 15:11

Great game! I found gameplay not so innovative, but every other aspect of the game is almost perfect. Boss fight was challenging but satisfying. Great graphics. Enjoyed it!

yuri-antonov 2025-04-11 16:53

Definitely this game with great style & humor. And movements controls guys. I like it!

ping78 2025-04-11 17:47

Enjoyed playing this game. The level design is top-notch, with a great balance between challenge and fun. The art is also excellent. Overall, though, this game is a real pearl. Great job!

tetracold 2025-04-12 09:18

Simple but great! I really like the style and for some reason I found the clam skeleton death animation to be pretty funny

The game is pretty easy and the design is simple but it does use the mechanic effectively

ryusui 2025-04-13 22:56

Very stylish, very well-put together. The gameplay concept is really clever, plus I'm always a fan of the old "skeletons in things that shouldn't have them" visual gag. The octopus end boss was *really* frustrating, though - I don't like how your hitbox seems to *expand* when you move, resulting in painful "zugzwang" situations where you're *technically* safe but you can't move without dying. I couldn't make it past the second part with the narrow diagonal climb.

Really nice polished game, with a fitting soundtrack and a good mood 😁

rbbhn 2025-04-22 22:14

Stylish, slick, and easy to pick up and play! This feels like it could be, with just a few tweaks, one of those infinite-scroll phone plaformer games that sucks up all my time, in the best way. Really great job!

jonaso 2025-04-24 21:34

Super polished, great style and very nice vibes! The last part was super difficult and caught me very off guard! Very good job!
