This was really hard for me because I just suck at matching sounds but it was interesting to me still especially having to match the certain tones and rhythms.

I have a goldfish memory so this took me probably 2x the normal playtime but I can't be frustrated when the game is so beautiful. I love the art and the sound, even to the little details of the starting logo and seashell transition!

Shell: A Visual NovelLoved the art on this game! Although this isn't my type of game, I feel like your idea was well executed, and I still had fun!

Light of the AbyssVery fun! Reminds me of the mermaid show from Stardew Valley, and the art is incredible! Great work!

Hurtle TurtleVery unique game and love the art style! I am not the greatest when it comes to game so I couldn't get far. Amazing job!

ShellShockLove the all the art assets and style! The game premise is very unique too with you having to memorize short sound snippets, which was not too hard for me. Very nicely done!

Cooper's Shell Spinning AdventurePeak art and unique take on the nautical shell theme, wish the game had a little more depth but maybe im just bad at recognizing melodies.

AtOMoC SHeLiSvery unique and fun game, I thought I'd be terrible at it when first playing but then slowly I was able to understand and it was very enjoyable!

ShotgunShellGenuinely one of the most innovative games I've seen the whole jam and the art is incredible!

Banana SlugSuch a cute game! The sprite work is top notch, and I loved the unique shell designs! I do wish there was some kind of freestyle/free play element (harmonizing with the mermaid would be a cool idea)! All in all, great work!!

Shello, World!Very fun! Unsure if you're unable to click the mermaid to hear the song after you've already failed once, though, cause that was the end of my first run 😭. It'd be nice if there were more noticeable differences between the shells towards the end, cause you need very trained ears, or at least lucky trial and error, on the last couple of levels. It'd also be cool to have more shell slots to reproduce longer melodies!
Overall, loved this game! The mechanics are simple enough to understand easily, but there's a lot you can do with it! Both the art and music are very nice as well!
