Squid Savings is a short, casual, open-world exploration game originally made for a local non-continuous 24 hour game jam. I decided to touch it up a bit, put in Newgrounds integration, and upload it here.


The challenge was to use this art kit by frecklebars in the most creative way possible. Check out his itch page, website and/or twitter for more awesome stuff.


You can download a standalone version of the game from itch.


Music is by yours truly, and can also be found on Newgrounds.


Control scheme

  • Hold the LEFT MOUSE BUTTON to swim towards the mouse
  • Hold SPACE to swim faster.
  • Press the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON to throw a bomb if you're holding one.
  • Bomb throwing distance depends on how far your mouse is.


If you get stuck, then here's a video walkthrough

pretty interesting gameplay as well as the game itself

This was a cute little fish game its like a platformer except in water and the collecting of coins was nice, A nice entry for a game here It's not everyday we see these kinds of games but you really bring on a unique and stylish game, The graphics are nice and fresh too controls respond well, So nice job here and honestly I had fun on this game of yours even if it was just a simple one you gave it some nice depth, A fun game nice graphics and entertaining

way too complex, needs a map system. good game otherwise

11/10

SwiftVector responds:

Lol that is some high praise, thanks man!

Hmm I didnt get the medals. Might be due to a timeout idk. +1 for a minimap or a map accessible from menue. Good game.
edit: It worked after restarting and defeating the last boss again.

SwiftVector responds:

Oh man, that's not good! I hope I didn't break something 😬
If you want to give it another go then pressing "continue" from the main menu after finishing the game will load from the boss chamber. If you do try for the achievements again and you see anything in the web console (something like ctrl+shift+J or ctrl+shift+I), please send it to me!

Otherwise thanks for the rating and feedback 🙂
