Thank you so much for giving it a go!! I'm glad the atmosphere resonated with you, I had a lot of fun dreaming it up. I know, everyone is beefing with the loose grip of our hero haha. Just hold on to the darn thing! It's funny, for one my previous games Drift Away I had figured out the zoomed out look and drew a lot of the water monsters that I used in the big lake level. It felt nice to get a chance to reuse them since in Drift Away the "good" and "bad" encounters are fairly random and you could play the whole game and NEVER see the creepy monsters lol. I really was going for that thalassaphobic feeling and am glad (and sorry!) it worked and resonated.
