You must be my fellow reddit friend! :)
I thought your game was really lovely!! The dialogs were really well thought out, and it was a blast exploring the ocean and encountering different creatures. I loved the sense of humor mixed with some fun educational facts. The music was well chosen and together everything fit really nicely. Gameplay wise, I wasn't sure if the two cards were picked randomly, as I often found myself with no other choice than to pick violence for my next move - but I guess that's what a hungry shark would do as well :D
Great job altogether!

Hey indeed I am! Thank you for playing the game and leaving your thoughts.
I originally planned to include a simple deck building mechanics as well where after each encounter you can choose to swap out a card in your deck but I scrapped the mechanic in the end for several reasons.
Similar to your game I also included unlockable sharks. If you play as the Basking shark for example, as it is a filter-feeding species that eat by swimming through swaths of plankton (similar behaviors to baleen whales), it actually doesn’t contains any Bite card in its deck haha. I thought it would communicate unique aspect of each shark species but it probably didn’t communicate well to players.
Either way thank you again for playing!
