Calm Sea

A Playdate game where you play a mermaid swimming in the ocean. If you don't have a Playdate to sideload this game on, you can use the Playdate SDK, read below.

Controls are A to select / start levels, and arrows to control movement. Alternatively, you can use the crank (mouse scroll wheel in the Simulator) and down arrow to swim.

**Note** If you're playing in the Simulator you can choose whether to use WSAD or arrows as arrow keys, and A button might be mapped to "S" or "." instead of "A".
