I was hoping to play a section involving having the mermaid tail lol, but nonetheless, I love the art, especially the character design. 

I think having some music during the collecting would've contributed really nicely to the dreamscape atmosphere rather than only at the end when you've collected all the water. 

As for the water vision mechanic, there wasn't any incentive, gameplay wise, to turn it off other than to just see the world. I think having some other mechanic to incentivize you to turn off your water vision would be good.

And as I stated before, the atmosphere and the character design really interests me, I kinda want to know what sort of world you had in mind for this game when you made it.

Thank you for your feedback !! <3 You're not the first to tell me that they want to play the mermaid ^^

Basically, my plan was that once all the water items where collected and the fountain reactivated, rain would fall and the water would begin to rise, and all the animals calm down. Like a second part of the game.

And indeed, the use of water vision is missing a restriction ! Do you have an idea ? :) Perhaps it could only be accessible once an action is performed (defeat an enemy (but I don't have a fight system lol), find an item) or accessible in limited time or resources...

Also agree about the music throughout the game :)

Hmm... A few simple way to do it would be to make it so it's limited and you can only use it for a short time before needing to recharge (though it will be a quick recharge). Another would be to make enemies or only certain enemies be invisible when you use it so the player would need to deactivate the water vision in order to see incoming dangers. You can also try restricting the player's movement so they move slower when using it.

And about the visuals, I don't know, it kind of came about like that. I had already created these trees before and I thought it was great to put them at the bottom of a sea empty of water, visually it pops even if it's is absurd. Because I'm in love with the forest (and flooded forests like mangroves!!)
And besides that I love creating cute characters haha.

I don't know if that answers your question :)
