Pretty good game. I thought the facts at the end was a nice touch.

Nice entry, a bit simple for a jamgame. Need some depth added and to get harder a bit quicker. Like the music in the game.

Pretty decent free runner. The collision detection is a bit unforgiving. I'd love to see the "barrel roll" mechanic be a press-and-hold type thing, where your stamina goes down as you hold it rather than it just being a one-time use. The difficulty of the game scales well, but after a few minutes it just becomes impossible because of these two things. Fixing one of them would greatly extend potential play time.

I really liked the messages each time you died, very informative. Made me want to play more just to find out what else there was to learn.

Audio was very nice. The swimming tune was peaceful and the death tune made me feel bad.

Overall, a fun little game. I would love to see the changes I suggested and maybe a mobile port!

Not bad, the gameplay is a bit too basic I think. I appreciate the environmental message of the game though. Music is lovely as well.

This could be a really nice educational game! I love the song and the overall mood. Could progress a little faster, though; sometimes it feels a bit dull until it picks up the pace. Great job!

I liked the graphics and the chilled music. I also liked the facts at the end (distracted me from my guilt over accidently killing a turtle).

This is indeed my first LD, and I think it went quite well. It's definitely great to get feedback and know that people like my work. Will definitely try to make it to every LD in the future! Also, I do read your suggestions on how to improve, and even though I won't be touching this game again (I have other stuff to do :P) I keep the ideas in mind for future projects!
