how the game fits the uplifting theme?
Cozy atmosphere, it's about cleaning the ocean and helping nature, and I got wholesome messages from members of the public to include in the game
how the game fits the ocean theme?
It's about a mouse floating on the ocean, cleaning up the water <3

Very cute simple and uplifting! Love it
Thank you~!
Very cute simple and uplifting! Love it
I wanted to collect two of those birds... but the other wasn't getting on the boat...
And that turtle, I wanted him on my boat as well...
And that white beluga-like fish that appears as well...
The game had overall pretty chill vibes and it was relaxing....
Haha I love that! So cute how you got him on the boat!!
Thank you- I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
I think I hooked it thrice because it was running away and somehow got onto the leaf ship and couldn't move...
The second bird, I couldn't get it onto the ship. So it drifted away.
The game is really cool and fun to play! I enjoyed the chill vibe, cute mouse and overall aesthetics and music!
The water shader is a great touch too!
Thank you~! Glad you enjoyed it.
(I actually hand-drew the water animation!) :D
Very tasteful and well made. Way agree with beseda, that when you click to close the bottle message, it shouldn’t trigger the hook. That was maybe the only blemish on an otherwise perfect interface.
Collecting messages from the public was a really great idea.
Totally agree. I just didn't have time to fix it!
Thanks for playing - glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this game! The messages from real people are a nice touch.
One suggestion: when there is a message in a bottle, pause the game and remove the event listeners for the hook. This is in line with your design goal of making the game relaxing and the player slowing down.
Good luck!
That's a good idea! Thanks :)
the mouse is adorable indeed. the game is very chill and beautiful, with satisfying gameplay, and i like it
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it ^^
it's adorable and cute, very good idea wth a message in a bottle, fun gameplay!
Thank youu~ Glad you enjoyed it ^^
That mouse is SO. CUTE., omg. Very chill game, I like the vibes, and the whole concept is very cool.
THANK YOU!! <3
Beautiful hand drawn art style which I appreciated :)
Polished game with simple, satisfying game loop.
Very uplifting experience and aesthetic. I am spiritually nourished.
I wished the messages in bottles led to some kind of story.
Thank you so much!
"Spiritually nourished" - what a good way to describe the experience! :D
My original idea was to have you deliver the messages, but I only had just over a week to work on this, so I really didn't have time.
Instead, I got members of the community to write some thoughtful messages, so you're getting nice little comments from real people as you play ^^
nice but it felt a bit slow tho
That's intentional :)
Thank you for playing!
