A wonderful game full of charming art, catchy seaside tunes, and little nuggets of humor. A good variety of mini-games propel the story forward before it comes to a satisfying conclusion :)

The sequence of different mini-games kept me engaged. I wish I could have moved through the dialog a little faster. Definitely a fun little story-driven experience!

Thanks, Jonathan! A key press to speed up the dialog is a great idea.

really good, though i think the "smoothness" of the gameplay makes it ironically more enjoyable
