for gladis!

who's.. gladis?

you might have read it in the news: orcas have been sinking ships off the iberic peninsula. people have come up with many theories to try and explain the sudden phenomenon, as orcas have been known to be curious and friendly (except in captivity). one such theory is that an orca named White Gladis has been injured by boats and acted in retaliation, a behavior which other orcas could've learned from Gladis.

this became the backdrop for this little jam game: you're an orca, and you must sink the ships of these pesky, rich, aggressive and/or polluting humans.

i didn't have a lot of time for the jam, so the scope was kept low, cuts were made, and overall you should be able to play through in a few minutes.

controls

game requires a mouse for the menu, and WASD keys to control your orca. these keys can be remapped in the settings menu.
