VERRY COOL! BUT KINDA HARD!

Maerl Bay is a deep-sea diving game about finding and cataloguing algae beds of maerl found within Swedish waters. Pilot Calvin the Drone and snap as many photos of maerl as you can before bringing them back up top—watch out for the treacherous marine life below and keep an eye on your battery!
This game was produced in 45 hours for the 2023 GBG Science Jam in collaboration with marine plant physiologist Lina Rasmusson, whose research focuses on seagrass and other hydrophytes. Her current area of research revolves around finding and charting maerl in her ongoing project, "Fantastic Maerl and Where to Find Them".

IF THE GAME CRASHES: Turns out there is a specific pop-up blocker on Chrome that somehow thinks the game is a popup and makes it crash, disable the blocker for Newgrounds and it should be fine!
it would be really cool if there was a story mode and if progress saves! Overall, it is a really good game!
I really liked this game. Unfortunately it does not save progress.
cute and relaxing game
very silly game. i love the little drone
the game is such simplistic fun, taking pictures and scanning everything around you is a nice little experience that im likely going to come back to sometime
