Very great submission, nice art and music. Even though there is no tutorial/instruction it didn't take me much time to figure out how to play the game. I like how everything was cute and peaceful at first then suddenly everything turned dark and evil. Would be nice if you can specify what is the platform for the uploaded file. Noice job.

Very cute seal adventure with a twist! The lil squeak whenever it hops is super cute, but i find the movement a tad bit finicky(?), waiting it to turn to the direction i want to go takes too much time, and the wave just takes my trash away. It's a really simple game and I got a good chuckle out of it! Good job :D

Very cute graphics and audio. I played a couple times and stil wasn't sure everything which was good or bad. This could be helpful in the description metadata.

Tried a play, but didn't really understand if I do things right or wrong. So yeah. Would be great to know how and what todo. Great job on audio and graphics.

Interesting mechanics, would be nice with a button to rotate faster.
And you could also fly if you clicked fast enough :)

Very cute game! :slight_smile: I love noises the seal makes when he moves, and the background music is very chill and relaxing. Also, regular ocean turning into blood ocean was unexpected :sweat_smile:

Also found a little bug while playing: when I lost and restarted the game the score didn't fully reset. It showed 0 at first, but jumped to 3000 with the first object I've picked

Very cute little game! I love the round little seal and the squeaks.

I'm not really sure what the intention was with the movement - but it reminds me of a toy RC car thing I had as a child, where the remote only had one button and pressing it switched from "go" to "turn left".

I recorded my gameplay experience in this video,
your game is at the **15:43** mark:

Music is good, graphics too, but I don't like the turn system of the main character. Good job by the way.

What an interesting little game, the little twist with everything changing was fun and caught me really of guard the first time around. I like the way the game controls, I am just wondering if it would be a little more fun to control if the spinning changed direction on every click. That way you still have to wait sometimes, but it would make it easier to go in a straight line. Either way the graphics and soundscape work nicely. Well done!

This was fun. The controls were a little confusing at first. I didn't really like how the damaging items could spawn underneath the seal and be unavoidable. If I hadn't made it at least as far as the blood, I probably wouldn't have given it a second try.
