Sadly, my old fingers are unable to get through the first door :( I sure practiced my F5 skills :)

Very nice and hard game. I like it how you only have a partial control of the player character. I really enjoyed it.
So many nice little touches: paralax background, cards sliding, menu transitions, sounds, final scoring breakdown, ...
I would appreciate some visual indication of which cards on the board are interacting with the currently placed card. It would be nice to see how the score changes after playing a card. For example, when I place a Prey in the row with a Shark, I would like to see that the Shark gets two extra points.
And yes, I also discarded cards by accident :)
Very solid entry! :heart:
Very nice ingame guide! Even with the guide it took me a while to figure out what to do. I first thought that I would find some garbage and collect it. Then I noticed that I can equip items and that I have a broom. Then I noticed that some items are completely black and after moving around with the broom they become clean. Hooray! I made photos and tried to sell them in the shop but they wouldn't sell. I guess that there was some uncleaned item in it? Then I found some pearls and made more pictures and finally earned some money. Hooray!
Controls are a bit clunky, it was always a struggle to clean anything. But I guess that's how it works when you are under water :)
Very solid entry. I enjoyed it. - Combination of Z and Space hurts my fingers after few minutes. - Hitting enemies mid-jump is very hard. Especially in corridors with low ceiling. Smashing Z doesn't help with the finger pain :slight_smile: - In this level when I jumped up, the previous level appeared but then the current level did not reappear. I could still hear the walking and jumping sounds. I got out by walking blindly towards right edge, where the level entrance is and jumping up. Character briefly appeared in the previous level and then the current level reappeared. Screenshot from 2025-04-23 10-31-52.png
Nice game with nice puzzles. I really enjoyed it!
Nice game, I like the sounds and visuals. I didn't manage to unlock the largest plot even with tool level 3. It is hard to tell if clicking the tree stump has any effect or if it is just bugged or if I just didn't have enough patience :) I am not sure what some icons and numbers in the inventory mean. Oh and I didn't save the dog :(
Steering and speed boost are a bit too sensitive. Together with limited visibility most of the time I just had to drive blindly and hope for the best :) Aesthetics is great, I like the leaderboard, in general very enjoyable game!
This was more intense experience than many horror games!
Very nice and polished game. Awesome job for such a short time!
Does catching a fish that is already in the aquarium give some bonus? After some time the fishing became just a way to pass time to wait for visitors to drop coins.
After purchasing the coin collector it took quite some time for the coin counter to go from 500 to 0.
I got all the upgrades but I have never seen the rare sparkly fish :cry:
The time 72h limit is uncompromising. I can clearly see so many features that you had to cut :pensive:
Is it intentional that the bubbles appear in front of the submarine instead of behind it when it is moving :thinking: ?
Awesome art btw.
Nice game. Had performance issues in firefox, worked fine in chrome.
At the beginning I was constantly running out of ammo while being chased by large group of monkeys. Second upgrade of slingshot does 33 damage which is a bit frustrating because you still need four shots to kill a monkey :) I had a hard time finding advanced materials, I have found just a single rope during three playthroughs.
After some time the music started to glitch and eventually stopped.
Clever and funny take on the theme. Nice puzzles. This is my favorite entry so far!
