Turtle & Melody Update v1.1.0


Hello there!

Here’s a big update, bringing the game to version 1.1.0! So what's new?

  • Eïko (the main character) now has a little surfing animation when the turtle moves at medium speed. At high speed, he still crouches as before.
  • The turtle can now perform a little trick while jumping! Just press the jump button again during the leap and enjoy. It has no gameplay purpose—it's just for fun.
  • A new collectible item has been added: the compass! When using the turtle, it displays a UI showing the cardinal directions. This should help you choose a global direction on the map and stick to it without constantly checking.


  • And this new item is hidden in a small, optional new area: the Pirate Base.


I've also been working on a new mechanics to help you find these last missing items/animals/flowers. Some of them can be pretty hard to find (yes, I'm looking at you Prison levels), so here it is! From now on:

  • There's a new very expensive melody sheet you can buy at Aqualums Painting shop
  • Each time you play this "Revelation Melody", light rays will appear around animals, flowers, chests, paintings and a few key items too. This will only work 30 seconds in the local/current level.

Here's how it looks like:


Guess what? It also works on sea creatures:


  • Anyways, if you've already reached the 100%, your completion rate will go down to 98% in your save slot (because of the missing melody sheet and compass). But you'll keep your 100% Steam achievement.
  • By the way, I improved the computation of the completion rate because flowers were getting all the attention (given there are more than 600...). Now it's more balanced, giving equal importance to quests, inventory, status or animals.

That’s it! I hope you'll enjoy this little update. As always, thank you so much for the kind support!

Have a great day! Take care, peace!
