Green Shell by Kekwu
A tiny turtle wanting to escape from its aquarium and away from where he lived. the turtle was one of the pets kept by a chemistry professor, noting that the other pet was a cat.
One day, the turtle saw the cat rip a turtle plushy into pieces while thinking that the plushy was his species. this convinced the turtle to believe that the cat was a dangerous animal, which led the turtle to want to escape this hazardous habitat.

This is our first time attending the Ludum Dare game jam, and also the first time attending a game jam. as the first try, we want to make this project into something outstanding. As a developer, I have put a lot of effort into assembling and developing this piece of work. and our artists had contributed the entirety of their minds and hearts into making this project what it is shown right now. although their wasn't weeks or months given by the Ludum Dare team, but we still maximized every millisecond to make this project function. We tried to fix all the bugs that was detected during testing, but I doubt their would still be more. if their were more bugs, please make sure to leave comments, describing what they are. we will put all our effort into fixing them, so you guys can have the best gaming experience.

I really love the idea of the turtle spinning and accelerating. The controls of this game are a bit challenging for me, but that doesn’t affect me to play. The game is very complete and even has a unique ending.
As others already said, the controls can be a bit odd and sometimes I was a little lost, but I saw that you already did quite a bit to explain what to do.
Has potential!
Regarding the game I got fairly confused by the controls and although I managed to break multiple times out of the aquarium it was a bit tedious each time. The turtle would frequently end up in a static state and I couldn't make it move no matter what I did. Maybe I missed something obvious ?
Some respawn at the beggining of the sequence would have been great as I was quite sad to start all over again when I fell from the bookshelf.
You got a really nice 3D art and the little audio and achievements you implemented were a nice touch !
Good job and congrats on your first ludum entry :sparkles:
I only had one bug, which was the animation for legs getting pulled into the shell being opposite the slam attack. It didn't affect gameplay, just looked a little silly.
