How does your game fit the theme?
Lobsters molt to grow (or scale) over their lifecycle. The idea was that as the lobster grows the game resolution and colour palette would grow with it, although this goal was not met.

Loved the retro artstyle, it's very cute. The color palette is also very good, easy in the eyes while playing for a long time. What is lacking is just sound design. A jumping retro sfx would be a very good addition in every lobster's jump. Good job on this game as a solo dev! :)
Cute liitle game. SFX would be great but I had fun nonetheless. Nice job for solo project!
Cute game, nice job for solo project!
loved the aesthetic!
The lobster has grown, the loster is free 😊 Wait what do you mean “for now” 😭
Great little game!
A cool take on the theme. Some might say tredding water is a bad thing, butttttttt... (I didn't know where to go with this pun. Good game tho)
I can never imagine of a platformer underwater LOL. Really like the idea fitting the theme well and explains itself! Great job!
Great visual! I really like this old pixel style. But the lack of sounds really upset me😥 (i'm a sound designer)

It’s a very unique idea, great job! I didn’t know this fun fact about lobsters.
Lobster?
Cute game! I loved your style, but I missed the music. Also I hope you will add more levels in the future - I would like to continue playing
Cute art and very original theme. Would've liked to have more levels. Also really liked the upward currents, neat idea.
cool game! very unique idea and mechanics feel good. only complaint is no music of sound effects.
The lobster is freeeeeee! Cute idea, would love to see a little more platforming puzzles in the future, you have the core mechanics to make it deeper. Otherwise great worl!
This is a really lovely, simple, platformer! the long character and floaty movement add enough to make it feel unique, and the art style is immaculate. 10/10 IGN
love the style and it was fun fighting crabs. cool game! :)
Really cute idea and beautiful art! It was a bit fiddly at times, and I believe that could be something to improve on in the future - but not by making it less fiddly, but by making traversing through the level itself a puzzle maybe? :D
Very cute game!
Cute Lobster. I think the Spore like Idea was a pretty prominent idea in this jam but its a solid one :) Sounds would have been great
