Test level done! I definitely learned a lot about the strengths and weaknesses of the game's design by making this and letting people play it. We'll have to rethink how we approach level design going forward. Read more about The Tides of Ys :

Sometimes, research for a game means going on a beach and recording a rusted chain Getting some good sounds from the sea and the sand for The Tides of Ys, as well as plenty of visual references.
