Very cozy & nice ambiance
Really relaxing and put a smile on my face!
A nice platformer with cute graphics - can't go wrong with otters!
What cute animations. The atmosphere was also very nice and relaxing. I didn't find all items, I guess was the list on the right? I found a red and a purple shell.
Yeah, the items to find are displayed on the right. There are several shells also but they are additional content, and they are not required to win the game. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I really liked this game. The otter made for a fantastic character. I really enjoyed the differences between moving on the land and in the water. I think the eating mechanic is really cool. I think I would like to see something where eating different things does different things to you. Maybe a jump boost, a speed boost, or slow you down due to nausea. So many possibilities. So good an idea and you implemented it fantastically. Great Job!
Eating some things make difference, because you can have additional food replenished or gain health regeneration. I had the idea of various other boosts, but unfortunately I didn't have enough time. Thank you!
Ah, and you can find also speed boost, but it is rare and there might be a bug that it does not work, I didn't checked that ;)
Love the artwork and ambience with the sounds! The otter hanging off ledges was a nice touch too but they seemed to get a bit stuck there often! I really struggled to find the items but it was fun exploring the world and swimming around! Fun concept!
The game is cool, the art is good, there is no music sadly, but the fauna is good enough. The movement on land is a bit slow in my opinion, and the dogs can catch you easily. The idea is pretty good and I hope you will add more stuff to this game! Great job! (Cloud)
Thanks! My idea was that it is necessary to move on land, not only in water, but because otters are mainly water animals, player's character is more vulnerable on the land. So the two spheres (dimensions - water and land ;)) are clearly distinguished by the danger and abilities. I plan to make sth bigger out of this game, working on it currently.
Great concept and art- well done!
This game is similar to Ecco the Dolphin, everything is cute and very strange.
Love the pixel art, who knew being an otter would be so fun! nice work.
Cute game!
Nice game, Love the art and the otter anims. Pretty sure it's fart he does in the water hahaha.
Well done
Great game, loved the art style and the swimming mechanics were well made. Good job

Your game reminds me a bit of William and Sly.
I have never played it, but I checked the screenshots, and you are right, there is some similarity
