i liked the artistic presentation! one thing i think would have made the game feel nicer would be some more gameplay feedback to couple with the nice presentation.
I loved the music and fun game overall!
very fun game! I love the concept of this puzzle game. I would say though, I was slightly confused where the end was, the hwale or the line of Xs so a UI system would be great. (to show when you have completed the level and if you ran out of energy)
its pretty fun overall, i like the sprite of the hwale, so cute
The concept is neat but maybe some feedback (visual queues or SFX ) could really give the game a proper identity I think ! GG anyway !
There will be a story and cutscenes eventually <3
This was a fun little game! I liked the branching paths in some of the levels, and on a few of the levels I was counting tiles to see if I had enough fuel left which was fun! If there's one recommendation I'd make, I think having a "Level clear" screen when you get in the Hwale's eyeline would be good. There was a few times I was still holding a key at the end of a level and moved before I was ready in the next. I know I could have restarted, but having a bit of rest and a "good job" moment at the end of each level would have been nice. Good game!
I actually do intend to do this, I just didn't have the time! currently, the game is still being worked on. the goal is for a button prompt to show up when getting to the victory area. afterwards, a cutscene will play! (the cutscene will be hand drawn by me until i get someone who is good at art to do so.) I intend to make the game have a story about a guy who REALLYY hates a specific hwale and continues to kill the wrong one, possibly leading hwales to extinction or some other environmental message like that
something is borked and I can't play it
:{
oh god, let me take a look at this. If something is wrong I’ll make sure to get it fixed immediately.
Do you think you can explain the issue or does it just kinda not work?
I'm away from the pc but I will take screenshots as soon as possible
ok so i just took a look and the game seems to work just fine on my end? the aspect ratio is a bit off if you aren't in full screen but the game can still be played over here
gives me this error and won't run
crap... that is very likely my fault but i have no idea how to fix it or why it doesn't do that on my end.
