Moby Dick heads to the stars. :)
If you miss a ring after collecting a few, you can't collect any others. Plus it's hard to steer and read the text at the beginning, which is a bit small, IMO.
We've just made controls better! The update is already available, so if you want, please check it out :)
And thanks for downloading the game :)
The idea is great :)
Thanks :)
We've made it even better with the new update :) (it's easier to control the ship)
I like this concept a lot. Gameplay isn't anything to write home about, but I'm intrigued in the story. I think that's what this game's got going. Even with simple callouts, it was pretty cool sailing in space and not really knowing why I'm chasing this whale from the sea through space. Cool idea!
I'm really confused on how to play, am I supposed to go through the rings? When I go through 1 ring, There is only a reset and exit button? Am I going to the next level?
Yeah. There are problems and we didn't manage to implement instructions also and test most implementations. It all kind fell apart just before the end of the jam, but it will improve if you'd like to check it out later and judge the concept :) Thank you very much for downloading and check back for updates if you'll have the opportunity :)
By the way - what resolution are you playing at?
I downloaded the mac version and was playing on 1366 x 768
Just replayed the updated version, it's working much better and a lot more fun! I love the concept, it was a little difficult to control, but I think thats the point. Great game :D
We've updated the game with new controls :)
We value your opinion, so if you've a minute please check it out :)
It's so much fun with these new controls!!! I actually got to the whale! Thank you so much for updating it!
