Really nice aesthetically, excited to see more assets get in the game! It's both relaxing and harrowing at the same time, and I'm looking forward to seeing this polished.

Hi there! First of all, Coral Gardens is looking great so far! I love the main character and their animations, and the coral looks great! The music is also fantastic and complements the cozy environment nicely.  The only thing is that there isn't much to do aside from waiting for the coral to grow. Adding some additional tasks would make that time go by much faster. Adding some more textures and assets will also flesh out the environment a lot! Best of luck on the final sprint this week!

Hello! Here's my thoughts on the game after about 5 minutes of playing:

Positives:

  • The music is charming.
  • I like the player character's visual design.
  • I appreciate the info box in the top right and the succinct instructions on the game's itch.io page. This is the best submission I've seen this sprint in terms of communicating controls and the game's objective.

Negatives:

  • Not much to do except wait around for coral to grow once you've harvested the initial coral.
  • The camera is super sensitive on both mouse and controller. I don't like that the camera has momentum to it either; it makes it difficult to look where I want to look. I don't mind floaty character movement but I do mind a floaty camera.
  • Very barebones visuals.

Good luck on the final sprint guys!
