This game is amazing. I love the art and the main character. It was a bit hard to control (maybe I am just too stupid to get how a crab moves), but I really enjoyed playing this game.

I'm afraid I got stuck on the 2nd level, I might be pretty bad at 3d platformers.

The art and sound assets were really nicely done, I liked the aesthetic!

Good game! The wave concept is very unique and I liked  the overall game mechanics

I enjoyed this game, but I feel like it's lacking a little in direction. If you maybe put some marks or indicators of what to do, I think the game would be even better. I did enjoy the visuals though! very nice

Great game!

Really enjoyed the game! It’s very innovative, with great visuals and a strong artistic identity. The game fits the Jam theme perfectly and truly stands out. Controls can feel a bit difficult at first, and depth perception can sometimes be confusing, but the music is absolutely fantastic!

Looks good, but controlling of the player is almost impossible

I love it! Mechanics are quite interesting, both the movement and the tide thing. Animations are cute.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to proceed to level 2 cuz game just freezes in the end of the first level, no matter what I'm doing (I tried about 5 times).  Sound and music are great, but the jump sound is too loud. 
Overall I'll definitely play this game more once it's finished, I'm looking forward to it!

Absolutely delightful. The theme and game idea is unique and wonderful,I could see this being a full game!

the audio was lovely, although the jump sound effect slightly blew up my ears :3

and it was a little hard to see where Kera was exactly, and which way forward is.

But i really liked it!
