Spoiler:

So, once I'm in the submarine...where do I go from here!?
Am I supposed to do something with all this floating seaweed (or whatever it is)?
There seems to be a pipe at the bottom here but I can't go in it.

*SPOILER*
The clue is in the word WORRY. Specifically the letters W.O.R.R.Y.
*\SPOILER*

So you can't play the submarine part? Hmmm, the one difference between that and the rest of the game is that I use a wave post-effect. Try out the sample post-effect program with SFML and see if that works, then I'll be able to tell if that's the problem.

Yes! So that was it. I don't get how I was supposed to come to that conclusion.
Was I really just supposed to 'Worry' and basically try all combinations?
Anyways, sorry you had to spell it out for me.

Awww darn, I finished Act I!
This was a fun game!
Thanks for sharing it.

And if you complete Act II, I would love to play it.

Cool, glad to hear you liked it. I know that puzzle is a bit hard, but some people actually do get it immediately, while others just don't see it coming. I might add some sort of extra dialog clue if I ever do Ovid 1.6, which is unlikely to happen.

I probably won't get started on Act II until next summer because I'm extremely busy this school year. Things I plan on including once I get around to it are running, along with a more fluid movement system, a camera that zooms out in some places, voice acting (possibly), cooler level design that feels a little less constrained, slightly (not much) more epic story, and whatever else I plan on sticking in there.

With Ceylo's mac port of sfml, the mac port of Ovid the Owl is now finished. Just a word of caution to everyone who is making a cross-platform game for the first time: Make all your file reading/writing endian independent. This will save you from a whole lot of pain afterwards, believe me.
