WHALE of a TALE by moltanem2000
Really unpolished, but I rather like the game. hope you enjoy! NOTE: SORRY FOR THE HUGE FILE, DON'T HAVE TIME TO UPLOAD SOURCE SEPARATELY AS I GTG.
from the readme:
once you get to the game screen click to selecl where you fall, make a good decision because a bad one could cost you the game.
the little brown things are docks. clik on them then release over water to summon a whale, step on the
dock to ride the whale. you can then get off at a dock.
collect coins and open chests to get coin, use coin to buy a lumber mill (buttons at bottom) it will produce wood.
wood is used to build bridges and docks, which you might need to get to inaccessible islands. I recomment getting enough wood
for a dock once you have enough coin for a mill. you can not kill enemies. and I didn't really have the time to implement
death, so if you want to play "hardcore" then quit and restrat when you die.
there's probably more but I don't recall. sorry there's no theme, I didn't have time to squeeze in a story, and it would have been
a shameless plug in anyways.

Asides that, the concept was nice, but the gameplay was a bit slow..
Although there are bugs and balancing-issues, the biggest annoyance would be the fact that once inside the game, you have no idea what to actually do, and only trial+errortofind out.
Still fun though :-)
I liked the part where you rode the whale.
It does seem like a nice concept, and the graphics are nice as well.
