I do have to wonder though, how do you make a mermaid your lover exactly :wink:? Hmmmm. \n\nIn any case, I liked the graphics and the ridiculous story set up! The gameplay is very simple, clicking around is usually not what keeps me engaged ;), but because of the fast pace of the game, you don;t get bored so easily.\n\nGood job for a jam game!
