This feels like an ethereal interactive picture book.  

I love the mood. This is great. I was a bit disapointed by the controls. I found I could push and arrow key to move the whale down, but that feels wrong. It feels like only the down arrow should move it down.

I learned a lot of new words, too!

Really beautiful work. I keep coming back to play this and the mountain every so often.

Great job on this. Loved your use of language. 

Very nice game! Very tight, real simple and yet effective and catchy.

What I like the most are the graphics: they are really gorgeous, especially the gradient when reaching deeper and deeper.


oh duude. this made me tear up :') this is so good. what a gift you have

I loved this! I knew it would be good because the last short poem/game I played from you was good, but the imagery of this one in particular super resonates with me because I just love the ocean. This was so beautiful, amazing job. It's always so clear what you are supposed to interact with [and the directions "when in doubt go right"] so I never had to think about "how" to play I could just focus entirely on the experience. Fantastic work.

Very cute and emotional - but it's not really a game? Some of the text is clunky .

This went deeper than I imagined...
