Ahhhh!!! This game is both my favorite that i've played so far but also the most frustrating! I love love love the graphics, the music, the character, the opening, the writing, the atmosphere. In those aspects this has def been my favorite of the jam! Mysterious animal evening vibes done so well! And I loved the parallaxing that felt a little more chaotic than your average parallaxing in a good way. And loved the anchored moon, and the GAME OVER screen was really really beautiful.

But it was just really hard for me! It took me a long time to figure out how to activate the 3 abilities so I wish there was some more instruction there. I also wish there was instruction on what the 3 abilities are used for. I got as far as the green level but just couldn't reliably do the part where I have the fish through the blocks and then chicken upwards to safety. Often times I would fish a little too late. When I'd get past that but then die and have to do it again... Anyway I loved the game and just wish it was a little more generous and less precise! More checkpoints?

Thank you for your feedback, Wedgie! Your comment is my favourite of the ones we received, I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed our game.

On playing it myself many a time, I agree that the game is quite unforgiving and it can be quite frustrating! I like to think though that this evokes helplessness and futility in the player. Of course we want you to keep playing till the end and not just rage quit. But the nature of a natural disaster such as a flood is completely unforgiving. I'd like to think that this difficulty spurs people to keep fighting for survival, as there's no greater prize than life.

OH when you said "I like to think though that this evokes helplessness and futility in the player" that REMINDED ME that while i was struggling and consistently dying, i did think to myself "damn these crushing game over messages are literally how i'm feeling... impressive..." so... that worked! <3
