This was SO MUCH FUN! :D the music, animation, art and puzzles were so well done! really enjoyed playing through this. Adorable main character, and the sound design was pleasing.

Thank you very very much!

Fun and challenging! Really reminiscent of some flash games I played 15 years ago. I couldn't get to the end of it :P

Developer

Thanks for your nice feedback.

Very beautiful and polished game! the octocat is cute as well. For me, it's a little difficult to remember the options I have with the possible paths, but I can get through it by trying.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your nice feedback. We will think about an mode showing/indicating what each shell switch will do.

Submitted

Very polished game, the animations of UI elements are great and satisfying. Sounds and music are pleasing. The art is from another universe. The game feels like a fully fledged Steam-ready game :) Just wow! Very well done!

Developer

Many thanks for playing our game and for your kind words.

As others have said, the puzzle aspect felt like trial and error until a clear path to the flag opened up. That said, this is very polished and video-gamey; it has the look and feel of a published iOS puzzle title.

Developer

Thanks for playing and your nice comment.

The puzzles very rapidly turned into me just stocastically trying stuff.  I think there needs to be a better way to correlate what shell will do what, it's sort of too hard to remember whats going to happen and what is linked to what and will toggle which way.  The art is very cute, the fundamental idea is solid and fun, I just didn't feel like I was solving anything, because I didn't have any predictive model I was building and executing on.  Maybe I missed something, but a way to hover over the shells to see what will toggle, or a underwater view you can toggle between showing the links could make this more of a logic puzzle and less of a jiggle around the puzzle box until something changes the right way.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, someone else mentioned something similar, we'll think about it and maybe add a special mode to the game later :)

I love the Octocat and whales, art is great and polished, puzzles get a bit tedious after a moment. Still a great game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you, we wanted to have something that doesn´t like water but fits the ocean theme, so Octocat was born :)

Submitted

Graphics look great and very polished. For me personally, the puzzles themselves were more just trial and error.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback :)

Submitted

Very polished, very cute! Good job!

Developer

Thanks a lot :)

Very nice! The difficulty curve feels perfect, every level was great.

Developer

Very cute and polished!

Thank you for playing and commenting.

The cutest game at this jam. 

Developer

Very nice, thank you.

Submitted

Very polished! I kind of got stuck on level 5 but maybe because I'm sleepy. Really enjoyed it and feels like a complete experience.

Developer

Thank you very much. I think level 5 is the hardest of all, but you can do it :). Still, thanks for playing.

Submitted

Very slick and professional feeling!

Developer

Many thanks. Glad you liked it.

Submitted

Nice art and music.

Developer

Thanks. :)

The art is amazing, though the controls need refinement. Only mouse or gamepad would likely improve gameplay.  Sry the controls feel unclear for me.

Developer

Thank you for playing our game. WTBasil did an amazing job on the graphics, it’s worth following her, if you hadn’t already. I’m sorry you had problems with the controls. I thought WASD or arrow keys for movement and Q/E/SPACE/Enter for switching the shells is the most intuitive I could do, or you maybe have another problem. Try playing the desktop version, it supports gamepad, unlike the browser version. Also try to directly look at a shell you want to switch. Maybe that helps.

Submitted

Very cute art and fitting music. Like the comment below says, very polished. Something you could maybe do for a tiny bit more help without making the game too easy would be when you are near a shell, show transparent versions of whatever whales would show up. But I also like the experimentation aspect of trying the different shells without knowing what they do.

Developer

Thank you for your kind words and playing our game. Glad you like it. Your idea to spoil the changes of a shell is not bad. But I think I like it more if you have to experiment and remember what each shell does. Have a nice day.

Submitted

Very Polished

Developer

Thanks for playing.
