How does your game fit the theme?
The threat of being boiled alive is a metaphorical storm. Therefore, all clams live in a perpetual state of being "the clam before the storm." As long as they live under human oppression, clamkind will never be truly free.
Also, it's a pun.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All code, art, and music was done from scratch EXCEPT for the Godot DialogueManager plugin for displaying RPG dialogue.

The story and art are outstanding, you did a great job making this
This was a very fun and well put together game. Artwork and sounds/music were good and I liked the death animation, I thought that was pretty cool. One thing I would say is that the game resolution and size is quite smaller so in the future make games that are resizable. Other than that, good submission!
this genuinely feels less like a game jam game and more like the demo for a full indie game. it is much harder than most of the other games I have played, but the controls are so tight and predictable that I never really got frustrated. the gameplay is super unique and I think that you can totally turn this into a bigger project
Had a great time with this one. Awesome story, and thanks for adding controller support!
shell yeah!
I absolutely love the cutscenes and overarching story. The writing was funny and characters diverse, which is amazing for a week long project. My only issue with the project was the feeling of controls. I think the water movement was alright and the land movement a little clunky, but I really wished I was able to shoot by aiming my mouse instead of having to rotate first. Felt a little like an unnecessary learning curve. Other than that though, utterly fantastic. JUSTICE FOR THE SEAFOOD
I really enjoyed the art and, the music and sound effects on this! The game was really challenging to me, but nonetheless very fun to play. Congratulations!
Art and audio were both great! Also great theming (from a fellow clamjammer aha)! Solid game!
A masterpiece. An epic tale of hardship, vengeance, and love. I was awed.
I thought the puzzle platforming was neat and the bosses were fun to fight. The story was cute too. Overall, a great game.
You guys cooked with this game, movement in particular felt great!
This name slaps, tbh. Love the artwork!
The art style is ver great, love the concept of the game <3
Great story, pretty good design, challenging. Think it may be easier to play on a controller
There is controller support if you want to test out that theory! I also think it is easier on a controller :)
This is so good
The setting is genius, even from name alone this game is peak
pretty cool
Great narrative. Level 3 is sooo challenging lmao. lots of off screen threats that you just kinda fly into. But I loved the narrative, the look, and it was a fun game to play through.
Very nice vibe to the game, like the art and sounds (would be + if the dialog had sound)
Very nice water movement.
Love the story aswell! Good job!
