Wrap Up

It was a race to the finish and then I didnt want to think about it for an age. There was a Mozilla glitch post entry deadliine that really frustrated me, but I still love this one. I really appreciate Alex and Cassie’s contributions, which gave the game a lot of charm. As usual I spent too much time focused on minor details (shader color stuf and the currents/animation wobbles). Anyway, here it is:

The Anemone Of My Anemone

I’m still aiming to land in the top 10% next time, but still a respectable outcome :-D

Some lovely comments from the commmunity below. As I said, I was DONE with it after launch and the Mozilla bug, which made it hard for me to go back in and contribute as much as I wanted to. I played some awesome games though - my fav had you play as a turtle navigating pollution and human construction to save other turtles, all while monitoring you air levels.

Comment from Wafflenaut Games: "this is such a charming little game! somehow it's still complex even though there is only one button! I love the voice acting, expecially in the beginning. 'im coming to save you' '...ok'. Great work!!"

Two comments. Introspection Games: "Nice concept and cool art. Addition of level editor very cool!" bryengx: "Not bad! Aside from it not working on firefox it played fine on chrome. best aspect id definetly presentation - sound, colors, animations. Stages are quite simple considering player has just one button to control the character but this was used to its full potential."

Two comments. Greg Molot: "Incredibly cute art! The idea was also very cool and really well executed!" jam_bone: "Cool idea, it was really nice touch on the sound design. I wish it was a bit clearer which way the waves where flowing. Nice entry, congrats."
