Nice tiny game with a story! Quite nice with the levels becoming increasingly challenging.

The ship minigame could be more difficult, but it was fun anyway!

It really reminded me of Super Mario Land and its ilk. It was also really nice to go through the whole game, with a good ending. Nice job!

this game reminded me a bit of a great game called Minit. Movement could be improved, but that's already a solid start. Good background music choice as well

Love the cheeky name, but damn, you have to hit z to start, and it doesn't tell you to do that anywhere? That's rough, you might want to put it in the description at least, and as close to the top as possible. I tried two different browsers before figuring it out.

Other than that it's a bit of a mixed bag, love the artstyle, but not a huge fan of the music, great that you've implemented checkpoints, but those slippery platforms could use some sea salt on top. That said, you've got all that, two different movement styles, and cutscenes, and that's a lot of work in 96 hours.

Nice little game. Very impressive for a first game jam. I'm very glad I took a little time to reach the end.

GG !

Loved the retro look! It looks amazing and well done, and the story makes it so endearing!

I thoroughly enjoyed playing through your game! the art and music were both very pleasing, huge congratulations on finishing your first game jam! I really appreciated the regular respawn points, my only constructive feedback would be that the player felt very slidey and I think the friction could have been higher :)

I forgot that GB Studio existed so it was super cool to see a project using it!
I loove what you did visually! Its pretty authentic to the Game Boy, but also not quite? I'm not sure how to describe it? I guess its kinda like an enhanced sgb game? Well regardless, I really enjoyed the visuals :)
Gameplay-wise its pretty basic but still enough (would've been nice to see some more complex levels tho)
Theme-wise I think its a bit of a stretch but I'll let you off because I liked the pun ;)

Really nice art style and fun game! The first time I played I was able to walk straight off the dock without doing any of the caves and still beat the game.

The game appears to just be stuck on the intro screen showing your website. I tried in both Chrome and Firefox.

I enjoyed this game so much! It is incredibly cohesive--the art, story, and sound all blended together to create a simple but unignorable atmosphere. The ending was a pretty fun twist as well. One thing I would suggest would be about keybinds--the [J] control was hard to infer and a prompt in-game would have been helpful. Apart from that, though, awesome job!
