Game description

Theme interpretation
The theme of the game is inspired by a specific meme with Frodo Baggins with the text: "alright then, keep your sea crits". Mechanically, players are identifying sea crits despite some of the information about them being corrupted and made "secret".

Good video game with original gameplay and graphics
Great cosy game! :D I really liked the art and characterisation of the various crits! The characterisations were in-depth enough such that you could reliably find the crit in question, but also left enough to the imagination so that you'd have to do a bit of detective work before choosing :) Great job! :D
This game is incredibly charming, I love every single sea crit! I would love seeing it turn into a bigger game, or just another game with a similar setting.
Great work! I enjoyed the gameplay and thought the art was very good too. Cool game!
It's so cute and I love the pun in the name hjdflkjg was a bit tricky to complete but honestly pretty fun :]
Really fun, feels like a wacky version of an educative game. I like the vibe and the color palette, it's a cool entry!
Very cool! Simple yet challenging, very much contect for a game jam. Nice audio, Best title?
Great idea for a puzzle game, nicely executed with very professional graphic design! It seems simple but is quite challenging, I got two in row but also a lot of failures.... lucky that I choose software engineering instead of the life sciences! :-) Nice work.
Of course, you got a hell of a title for this jam. The concept is so simple, yet so effective. I had a lot of fun trying to identify all these cute funny creatures! You really nailed the art for those.
Just for the purpose of giving feedback, if there's one thing that I found slightly confusing, is the color information, as you don't see the greens if you don't zoom into the creatures. But I figured it out quickly enough so that was definitely not a problem.
Thanks for making this game, I had fun playing it :)
I'm obsessed with Jerry, this game was so cute and fun and the art is amazing!
I loved the art style. Saw Sponge Bob's house haha. Overall it's a greate game and you can turn this into an educational game where students have to find sea creatures on a coral reef. Really fun!
I really like the visual style and it's a clever idea. Overall really good fun.
A really cool game, specially in the sea crits design. Some descriptions are too much generic, but I could solve some of them comparing the sea crits. Nice job!
Nice interpretation of the theme, I loved the art and the sound!
Really nicely done! I am now an expert in made up sea creatures
This game is adorable. I love the art style and overall feel of the game. Really well done!
Delightful game. I've never seen a game like this, trying to identify creatures off corrupted or partial information was super fun. I am very bad at it haha but did win at least once. The artwork is absolutely adorable and the references scattered around are fun. It's clear one of the devs knew their stuff as they did some clever biology with it. I love games that merge real concepts and gameplay. The creativity in this game is strong.
