This is like a masterclass in game design, mobile UI, wasm, character design, game dialogue and interactive paychogeography. I'm gonna show this to my kid's computer club next week. Really fantastic, bravo. Is this seriously a solo developer project??

If anyone knows of similar games / apps / software tools that I could show as examples of solo developer small scope simple UI games I'm always trying to find more..

obligatory list of similar stuff.

- alba: a wildlife adventure. more gameplay but somewhat similar controls/feel

- a short hike. isometric but similar feel (thanks thrance)

- the legend of zelda: the wind waker. haven't played, but mentioned in a few other comments

- proteus. first person and more subtle gameplay

anything else?

If we're going off vibes alone, I believe "A Short Hike" would be closer.

yes, thanks! i was unsure whether to include it because it looks quite different. but you are right, it has the similar exploratory vibe and is a great game.
