Mermaid Treasure Quest by gamerjenn

[raw]
made by gamerjenn for Ludum Dare 52 (JAM)

Use the arrow keys to move. Swim over treasure chests to collect ("harvest") them and swim near fish if you want to see what they have to say.

Note: The current WebGL build has been tested in Firefox and Edge and it works, but has a slight delay with a blank screen when first loading.MermaidTreasureQuestScreenshot2.png

Lovely art and music!

One thing I noticed - the collision for the treasure chests weren't consistent. Sometimes I was hitting them a bit further away, and sometime I was clipping them, but didn't get a score for it.

A little bit basic, but well done for getting it over the line

I love your mermaid design! It's a very quick game, but it accomplishes its goal.

Music is chill, and I really like the artwork and the colour palette. The chests being the same single-toned colour like the other objects would feel that little bit more cohesive.

It played fine, and I didn't run into any issues.

Cute game, I love mermaids :) The graphics are very nice, although I was confused by those colored squares that should probably also have been images?

Even for a jam game, it is very short and simple, so it doesn't feel like much of a challenge. If you're planning to make a longer version: some kind of obstacles, traps, or enemies to avoid would probably make nice variations. Maybe one of the fish could have a hint on how to get around them?

Very cute, although it's also very short. Looks like a promising start.

I think the speech bubbles / boxes of the fish acted as obstacles, which kinda confused me.
