Corrupted Killer - Uplifting Game Jam Entry

You are an orca - nature's "killer." Instead of hunting, you deliver for the ocean.

Swim through a world where trust has fractured. The reefs are dim, the kelp is still, and the other orcas eye you with fear. Accept deliveries from the ocean's last friendly faces, carry parcels through shifting currents and dark waters, and prove that the scariest beast can be the kindest of all.

How it works

• Swim & deliver: Fluid movement through a hand-crafted ocean world. Read the currents, plan your route, carry the cargo.
• Earn trust: Every delivery lights a node on the trust web. Watch the sea glow brighter as you reconnect it.
• Redeem the hostile: Encounter corrupted orcas blocking the way. Show them kindness. They join the network.
• Restore the whole sea: Light every node. The ocean turns gold. Marine life gathers. The title card lands.
