The collection SFX are awesome, it makes collecting the items extra fun and the pearls extra special. The music is great too. It all goes together so well with the colors and the vibe.
Dashing through air pockets was an unexpected and fun ability. Soaring through the air, collecting an item or two as I arc gracefully, then fish flopping back into the water... exquisite.
I appreciated the little bits of narrative when you could meet the different characters, and that if you go back to talk to them again they have another snippet of dialogue for you. It took me a while to explore the entire map and find the clam shell passages, but I did it, and didn't even go into shell debt!
I call this design "The Necklace of Seasons," containing the combined skills of April, June, August, and October.
