Nice art and well executed mood. Some sound would be great as well. I hope you will keep working on this game, the story is pretty interesting but a bit hard to follow.

Thank you! You're not the only one who'd like something to listen to according to the comments - I'll see if I can make the mod for that work. The story itself is very simple, just maybe the language a bit flowery and archaic: the Ocean King sends the gannet Halia to see why the sun is no longer shining, and it turns out Helios, the Sun-King, is pouting because they don't have a piece of Earth of their own!
I'll have the ending wrapped up soonish, hope it feels more clear then!
It's rare to see well executed Bitsy game, but this one is great! Really love the mood of it.
In the beginning photography was not considered as art but only entertainment by the society, I think the same will eventually happen to game making , some games are/will be more art than entertainment.
Your game has this feel, very poetic, I look forward you finishing it!.
That was cool. It's a shame they don't have a rating for mood.
I'll give you 5 stars for presentation instead.
The art's pretty freaking great in the cutscenes! The gameplay is simple but not nonexistent like in a lot of bitsy games LOL. Also an interesting twist on Helios, looking forward to see where this goes!
Love the movement of the avatar, the art is really beautiful and the writing is spot on!
