Game description
Play as an Anemone in this 'current surfing' plaform puzzle game. Float, drift, or sink into currents to navigate hazards, enemies, and terrain.

According to Wikipedia (which I glanced at during research for this game), sea anemones are not very mobile. So this is a one button game - press Space to sink, release to drift into currents. It's all about the timing!


CHANGE LOG:

12/03 - update to controls.js, reading event.code for the space bar was failing and keyCode == 32 redundancy wasn't working for all users. This is a one button game and somehow that got messed up :-/

Theme interpretation
I wanted to use waves as a form of movement. While brainstorming ideas, my partner threw out the title "The Anemone Of My Anemone" which I thought was hilarious, so we worked backwards from there. Currents are waves of pressure... so... waves :P

Cool idea, it was really nice touch on the sound design. I wish it was a bit clearer which way the waves where flowing. Nice entry, congrats.

Not bad! Aside from it not working on firefox it played fine on chrome.

best aspect id definetly presentation - sound, colors, animations.

Stages are quite simple considering player has just one button to control the character but this was used to its full potential.

I'am holding the space, but nothing happen. Did i miss something? 

Developer

oh no! Holding space should make you sink

What browser are you using? I tested on Firefox, Safari, Chrome. I had some CORS issues with Itch in the last hour of submissions that resulted in a mini-panic refactor and sorta killed mobile :-/

Chrome

Thank you, I think I messed up my event input reading code / right next to mobile event stuff... so... I tried to patch it, if you can do me the favor of testing to confirm I would appreciate! I have been unable to replicate on my end / version of Chrome (143.0.7485.0 ARM)

this is such a charming little game! somehow it's still complex even though there is only one button! I love the voice acting, expecially in the beginning 

"im coming to save you"
"...ok"

Great work!!
