Design Statement
I tried to focus on relaxing and chill vibes in an atmospheric region above the sky. Journey's Sky: Children of the Light's floating creatures inspired me to make something similar about serenity and relaxation that involves creatures and lights.

The goal was to minimize game mechanics, reading and understanding in order to make something simple to play so the player can focus on relaxing and being one with the game instead of figuring out how to play it. A lot of visual and audio feedback make it straight forward to understand. The creatures also help you understand what you have to do :)

Game Instructions (launch steps, controls, and gameplay overview)
Play in browser or download zipped Windows game files for best visual fidelity.

Only the mouse is needed to play.

- Hold right click and pan the mouse to orbit the camera
- Click on a highlighted object/entity to perform an action
- Button on the left right is the menu (honestly, didn't even check properly if the settings work, didn't have time in the end :/ )

How to play:
- Click on a docking whale that requests a destination
- Match its destination with the correct compass point
- The more you get correct, the more love you get
- Redirect correctly as many whales as possible by the end of the day/night cycle.

I like the atmosphere, and the simple gameplay setup! I did find the controls very difficult to use, especially the panning, but overall good entry!

Really nice! I found it unclear exactly where to interact and when, until a few minutes in. Also, the controls could be marginally improved, I found myself uncomfortably spinning and clicking my mouse :DDD

Thanks for playing! As long as the whales give you hearts, this is a good thing! The spinning might be a bit uncontrollable, but it also depends on your sensitivity settings. I did add a sensitivity slider in the pause menu, but I did not have time to test it properly. You can lower the sensitivity from the OS or mouse level if that helps. When the voting is done, I will verify that the slider works :)
