It is very unusual to have your daughter make the art for your game so I'm taking this in consideration! ^^

Even though we could judge the art for its quality I personally find it heartfelt by your kid and there was honestly something special I felt through the graphics and the sound, that was super cute! :)

The controls were very easy to pick up, when colliding with the sea urchins the fact it was resetting in front of it made it fair since starting all over again would've been a reason to quit the game by lack of motivation/boredom.

The choices are also easy enough to be understood by children so that's a good point in game design.

I didn't encouter any bug so far and the length of the playing session is convenient for kids to be concentrated until the end in my opinion.

It's also nice for the git repository but it throws a not found error, but anyways, I found it very nice from you to do something with your daugther so that she can express herself in an interactive way through a meaningful cause! :)

My daughter loves to create artwork in MS Paint, so back when I did the Paint Jam she was very excited to help with the Soup Dash game and her skills were the perfect fit, and any jam she wants to help me with I'm always be honored to have her art skills help make the game better :-)

Thanks for the feedback.

My git hosting doesn't have web ui yet, you can download it from the command line if git is installed, and also you need to merge in aud and img branches to get the full game with audio and images (ignore the clickable link, the wysiwig editor won't let me remove it, this is to type into the command line):

git clone https://koreyhinton.org/git/saveturtles.git
cd saveturtles
git pull origin aud
git pull origin img

That's cool to do things together! Maybe the programming part would be for her soon! :P

Oooh of course I was thinking about github instead of "vanilla" git! It's standard cli commands then I'm familiar with it! ^^

Good game, the music at the end was a bit loud and some options weren't clear but I figured it out eventually.
