The underwater theme was a bit repetitive, but i enjoyed it a lot! This is definitely one of my favorites.
とてもかわいいです!
Super charming! I like the combination of the land and water sections. The art is super cute and the music fits the game really well. よくやった!
I really like your main character. Some parts of the game, like swimming to hit the second-to-last switch, feel really unforgiving. I also wish the music switched more seamlessly between track versions, because I think it's a cute song and it keeps starting over. But it's a cute game.
Nice game. I think for the Swimming part. I think you should have used the WASD/Arrow Keys to move around similar to like Frog Mario in Super Mario Bros. 3. Also, you should add hit points and health pick ups. I don't think having the one hit death for this game seemed to be fair.
A very nice platformer! Didn't know somebody will actually make a save system on the jam. Great job! Also pixel art is dope
This is a very nice game. I liked the exploration aspect of it, and it was fun returning to areas with the doors gone. I managed to crash the game a few times after dying, but luckily the save system kept my progress. Great job!
All-around great entry! I don't think there was a single thing I didn't like about it, and it had so much charm! A+ :)
Very nice game. Everything is so cute. I like it.
Really cute sprites! I liked the switch between the above-water platforming and underwater sections. I played this on stream today (recording here) and I was somehow able to crash the game, but I’m not sure how it happened. I had a good time though, great job!
VERY CUTE
reall nice game! it has such a cute colour palette, the whole style is so pleasing. i really enjoyed the mermaid mechanic, that there were basically two gameplay styles in one game. super cute!
Really cute and fun game!
Nice little exploring game, levels weren't very hard and there were many checkpoints, nice. Would be bit better if checkpoints activate on single button press or just activate on walk pass it.
Very short but fun. I really liked the music and art : ))
すごい!
I have been following your progress on Twitter and was very excited to check out the finished product.
Something about this game feels very Game Boy! The soundtrack is very charming and fun. Love the underwater variation of the music when you swim. And the pixel art is very retro. Simple but beautiful!
I thought the diamond card with the three piranhas was a bit difficult, but I succeeded after a few tries.
Great job and keep it up!
Great art and theme! The game was fun to play too.
I gotta say I was pulled in by the cover art! After seeing the itch page, I am in love with the art in this game and on the page. Honestly, it is so clean and has the soul of classic gameboy games. Well done!
Really cute! I liked the art!
A delightful, charming platformer! The layout was well done.
First game I actually finished and enjoy playing! Super well done, and as a musician, music is very good! 楽しかったです、よくやった!
