LOVED the music and the playing along with the melody.  Simple gameplay, like a welcome little step above a visual novel.  

I really liked the juxtaposition of a fearful, rebellious, mysterious narrator, and the player playing the very thing the narrator does not want to advance.  It really gives the player conflicted feelings about the dolphin player character with a beautiful voice! 

Brilliant and solid little story.  Didn't completely settle on which side to 'believe' by the end, but maybe that was the point for this short ocean tale?

Fantastic presentation once again! This is such a charming game that's simply dripping with personality. Not to mention it's impressive how you manage to create such elaborate art pieces with a very limited colour palette. 

I have nothing bad to say about the art and music, but I think the gameplay could use some variety, as it's not overly engaging, unless the target audience is mainly young children. I got stuck for a very long time on the final section, but I do appreciate that there's no fail state (at least none that I found). Also fun to hear your 'own' melody played back at you after the level is complete. Some more context to the story would be great as well, but I'm assuming this is due to time constraints. 

Keep up the good work! I already look forward to your next project, and I am consistently amazed at how much you manage to do as a solo dev.

Amazing art, animations, and music as usual from Steph! Glad to see you again in this jam! I especially like the squid!

The Simon Says mechanic is simple and a nice way to enhance the narrative with gameplay! There's some great, subtle polish to the notes that make them satisfying to click! 

Story was really intriguing. I like the ambiguity of trying to figure out if the dolphins calming all the creatures is oppressive or benevolent. Or perhaps both? 

Great work!

I really like the look of the game! Something about a well drawn image with just that tiny amount of animation is really charming and I think it fit the game well. Gameplay was easy to pick up, engaging, and got challenging toward the end.

I would have liked a little bit more closure on the story but overall this is a great little game. Nice work!

Got more stuck than I want to admit in the last level but this game is precious and fun and I love it <3
