Shipmates! What lies BENEATH THE SURFACE of a child's imagination? Join a grandfather and granddaughter on their fishing trip.
A little girl's imagination turns a boring fishing trip into a pirate adventure. The boring reflections turn into a pirate's dream. Help your grandpa fish by blasting some fish out of the water and he will help by giving you some targets to plunder. Voiceovers by my 7 y/o daughter :)

Very fun and interesting, the topic leaves me remembering my childhood and all of it's imaginary scenarios. The only two true issues I can think of are the audio of the two main characters seemingly being unbalanced between each other, and no record of fish being caught.
Fixed the OSX link. Webplayer is working for me. Anyone else seeing the webplayer mess up?
RE: Controls, yeah I'd love to have tweaked them a lot more. Ran out of time/Zzzz....
RE: fish caught.. there is a record and used to dictate ending. Ending dialog is based on if fish were caught and ships sunk. Basically... simply if fish were caught and ships sunk happy shipmates, otherwise one or both complain.
It is fun. I love the style and illumination, and of course the voices :D Great game! A nice touch would be to be able to rotate the entire scenario and swap between the two points of view.
jomacel, great feedback. We originally planned to have the imagination/reflection and reality sides swap depending on which was winning out and fading to normal reflections if losing out... but about 3/4 into the 72 hours it just wasn't in the cards to get that far :)
I never figured out if there was a point to this, but it didn't matter. I had fun playing around. Graphics, sound, mood, everything is awesome about this one. And interesting interpretation of the theme. A lot more could be done with this reflection/imagination thing :)
You forgot to include the data part in the Linux Download. Please drop me a tweet @tinyworlds when it's ready (or under my game) and I'll check it out! ;)
What a lovely entry! Really nice mood, superb interpretation of the theme, and oh that voice acting :-) Really enjoyed it, wished there would have been more to the gameplay to be able to play longer.
@Maschinen, thanks for the kind words. This was my second gamejam and the biggest regret was not putting more time to the core game mechanic. We had so much more planned that just didn't make it. Oh well, there is always next time right?
Visuals and sounds are beautiful and so refreshing ! I feel a "soul" in this game, I mean it is not only 0 and 1, but characters are alive... even if I was unable to understand what to do !

Good job with the art, audio and controls, it all fits together really well
