Simple, beautiful, and well designed. Fantastic job!
SO MANY FISH.
That said, it was really fun and cute and beautiful.
The theme interpretation is the best I've seen so far as well.
Thank you.
I got to a point where I could defeat all the fish by just spinning on the spot between two of the.. pear seeds? So I let my ardvark die. :(
But yeah, game's fun, music's great, visuals are absolutely exceptional. Also, do you have some kind of obsession with Aardvarks? :P
v/ cute game!
Great idea
makes me want to stay there and hear it all day
you have got some skills!
The game looked promising but it felt later on not really challenging. The idea behind i like a lot also the graphic style looks neat. Good luck!
(Although it get`s a little bit repetitive once you get down to 2 or 3 nobs..)
You used Game Maker right? ('Cabinet not valid')
I think I could emulate it if you include the related dll, had the issue with other gamemaker games before.
I can't say I didn't enjoy it, its really calming experience, I wish there were more stuff/skills to use, for example playing with the whale was much more enjoyable since you are actually doing something and not just clicking on the apples.
It's simple, easy enough to pick up and understand (though it took me a minute to learn the manatee was defending the food). It's also very beautiful in regards to the artwork and visuals. It works well overall, but I feel like there's something lacking and I grew discouraged after a while when I realized it was a seemingly endless cycle. So my manatee lost its will to continue defending the fruit and the aardvark ran out of food :(
The art is superb [but a little lacking in the animations] and the music is really relaxing.
The gameplay is the lacking part on this game.
