A siren, half-woman, half-bird is doing her very best to live peacefully on her remote little island.
But how can one hope for some peace and quiet if, for some weird reason, human sailors just won't stop washing ashore?

Family friendly gameplay but she appears to be topless?! :confused: 8-0

Congrats on the release.  You seem to be really getting into this MAGS thing mate...

She's Barbie doll style topless though...

Since the purpose of breasts is to feed children, I think it's weird that kids should not be able to see them ???

Love the graphics, fun dialogue, and I'm so close to the end, but then -

Spoiler
I can't find the man-made item.  I've got everything else in the cauldron, the wood under it, I know where to get the magnifying glass, the conch is ready to go.  I'm curious if the brown thing I see over on the left side of the screen, just up and right from the raft is supposed to be something, but I can't click it.  Am I missing something or is this a glitch?

Kastchey

Thank you for playing, glad you like it so far!
Not a glitch :)

Hint 1:
Spoiler
The mermaid says she doesn't have any, and would the mermaid ever lie to you? ...oh wait, she totally would.
[close]
Hint 2:
Spoiler
The mermaid will only reveal her precioussss when she thinks you're not around.
[close]
Hint 3:
Spoiler
Perhaps you can hide somewhere close enough to still see the mermaid?
[close]
Full solution:
Spoiler
Fly to the ledge behind the large rock (the one with the cave) and speak to the mermaid when she starts playing with her find. Then fly back and ask her about the man made item again.

Ahhh, got it!  Thanks for the hints!  Cute, fun little game!

Spoiler
I'd tried landing on the ledge but didn't notice the gold item appearing.  Just curious, what is the brown item that the water keeps splashing under?

Spoiler
The brown item is my first shot at drawing a conch. I didn't like it very much because it wasn't very readable, so I re-drew the conch and left the first attempt as a non-interactive part of the background.
As for the mermaid, I initially wanted to make a nice animation of her playing with the figurine to catch the player's attention, but just didn't have enough time so I took a shortcut.

Thanks for playing!

Okay, the shameless topless temptress is no more ;)

(though cat definitely has a point there...)
