THEME IMPEMENTATION

Wave theme: by making an ocean-like environment with little waves separating the sea from the sky. Also, there is a small mechanic where you can rider a big wave to progress further.

OPTIONAL THEMES:

Love: i implemented the 'Love' theme by having to meet your soul mate, that being the goal.

Whales: i implemented the 'Whales' theme by making the player be a an actual whale.

Eco-friendly: i implemented the 'Eco-friendly' theme by making a natural world where the humans did not touch or pollute. Everything is made by nature itself.

Good game. The mechanics work, although there are certainly difficulties with needing to gain speed and jump diagonally, but you can only see the wall when you get close to it. Especially on the wave level, it feels like a game of roulette, whether you’ll guess the wave’s position or not. Everything would be fine, but why did you change the level on the last stage by covering the cell with sand after the jump back? That’s a very strange decision.

Developer

On the last level, when you pick up the key the level's terrain is going to change. That's why it mighy seem like the cell is not there, but you just have to find it :)

I did find it, but there were no hints in the game indicating a sudden change in the landscape.

Wow I loved the overall movement physics and camera movement! It's also really interesting how you implemented jumping. Great work!!!!!

Btw it was my prompt!! Love to see how the themes are all included & linked to each other

I really liked the visuals of this game, the backgrounds, the tiling, the kelp, etc. I think the sounds are also pretty good, though I would like to see a way to turn down the volume.  I think the wave mechanic was a little forced and underused, would like to see more levels where they are used. Good job!

Pretty satisfying and polished game.
You should add a pause menu.
Moving by using mouse left click would be great.
Seconds level should have some indications that i have to jump to reach the other side i think.
Level 4 is too hard.
Good job with the game, whales are cool, i liked the eco friendly aesthetic.
