Beautiful but short, & desperately needs a continuation
I loved this game so much! I played using iPad Pro & experienced none of the bugs others had mentioned.
The graphics were beautiful, gameplay controls were smooth, & the story was gripping — although, my only disappointment was how it ended. It was so sudden (it only took an evening to complete), I had unanswered questions (what were those marks on the whale’s back?), & to end where it did was kinda depressing (to just sum it up in an end animation kinda felt lazy & rushed)… I would’ve enjoyed a few more sciency bits too — like comparing identifying marks with photos to ID the whales, pairing whale sounds with behaviours to find their meaning, perhaps some photography missions, etc.
Obviously the dives were the primary game… But I would’ve appreciated some extra bits too, to draw out the game. Perhaps even some further investigation with regards to the illegal mining & exposing them; or how we help the whales when toxins are in the environment; or more information about how ocean discoveries can help people (e.g. treatment for illnesses, etc). I don’t know? Something. I just feel like it had potential to give so much more, & it was cut off too soon.
But regardless, I enjoyed it, & I learned a few new facts about some cool animals. I even enjoyed the extras (the videos), found them interesting. I really do hope a continuation comes out at some point though 😊

Crashes
I can’t even play it, as soon as I start the game for the first time and is loads to the first actually time you get to play and move your character it just crashes out every time. Really wanted to play this, this is a EXTREMELY HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!
