Mana Tide is a cozy pixel-art sim where you raise magical manatees in serene underwater lagoons

Mana Tide is a relaxing pixel art simulation game where players raise a growing colony of manatees in magical underwater lagoons. Inspired by My Singing Monsters, the game focuses on relaxation, exploration, and the natural beauty of the ocean, blending casual breeding mechanics with soft interaction and ambient storytelling.

Tasks

UI Responsibilities

Handle all user interactions related to clicking and feedback: Manatee Interaction: When a manatee is clicked, display an info panel with options to feed or delete. Shop System: Manage user clicks in shops for purchasing biomes, manatees, and food. Resource Clicks: Handle interactions with food or currency icons to show information or trigger relevant actions.

Biome & Manatee Management

Biome Transfers: When a manatee is moved to another biome, ensure the save/load system works correctly. Manatee Spawning: Manatees should spawn depending on the selected biome, with randomly generated names. Leveling System: When fed, manatees should gain experience and level up progressively.

Breeding Center Logic

Ensure the breeding feature functions as expected: Players must select exactly two manatees before confirming a breeding action. Once confirmed, the system should validate the selection, process the breeding cost, and generate the new manatee accordingly.
