- This game had me cracking up! I love the chaotic feeling of being attacked by the sea monsters, and I really love the way the voice callouts responded to my moves in logical but still sometimes unexpected and humorously surprising ways.
- This was the most challenging of the games in the jam, it was really difficult to win and the sea monsters got FIERCE at the end!
- I love the pirate dialog, the voice acting made me smile and want to play more and the music was a driving force that really matched well and kept the gameplay moving
- The islanders saying “Oh my gooood” is stuck in my head, classic!
- This was super-repayable and fun, and I got definite women’s leadership on the ocean vibes!

Climate Chantey's itch.io pageTheme
Our game primarily addresses the themes of climate change and the ocean through the lens of a women leader.
Since our primary artist is female-identifying, we wanted to make sure her voice was heard both figuratively and literally through voice acting. Her role as the climate-pirate captain Kori shows how sometimes all it takes is a strong leader to make a difference.
The mechanics of the game are relatively simple, and provide accessibility to younger audiences who want to have fun while simultaneously learning how to make a difference. The combat in the game addresses how we need to unify and fight against pollution, as well as save those who have been displaced by coastal retreat (a consequence of sea-level rise). By combining these heavy themes into an energetic, action-packed adventure, we hope that they are more easily digestible, and show people that they need to take action to save our oceans.
