Dugong
A gentle platformer-puzzler about a very large sea cow with a very small set of problems, all of which are somehow urgent.
Big animal, small sea, several regrets
Daddy Dugong is our second game and our quiet one. You are enormous, buoyant, and not especially fast, moving through a warm shallow sea that was clearly not designed with someone your size in mind.
Levels are part platforming and part puzzle: you drift, you nudge things, you wedge yourself somewhere you probably shouldn't, and you work out the order in which the sea will let you through.
Being large is the mechanic, not the handicap. Momentum is hard to start and harder to stop, and most of the interesting problems are about deciding where all of that is going to end up.
It's early. Things will change. But the tone won't — it's the calm counterweight to a game about ice cream falling over.
Nothing here is in a hurry, including you.
