i actually play a new game!

oh! hi! so this was an interesting way to play a new game. so v had been having issues getting mr. wheel to work and it seems like the problems have hit us too. so now what? seems like we got a new friend joining our group! her name is mita and yes, it is the one from the game miside. the game v had been playing lately. and she offered to be her own wheel and pick a new game for me.

logically she picks an edutainment game because... well i am a math teacher and i love edutainment games! freddi fish and the case of the missing kelp seeds. freddi fish being another series in the humongous universe. though i don't know if this gets nearly the recognition as pajama sam, spy fox, or putt-putt. either way, i'm still interested in trying it out. so freddi visits his friend sam, no not pajama sam. pelican sam. and sam gives freddi flowers to deliver to undersea friends! like snappy turtle and grandma grouper. seems like grouper's treasure chest had been stolen. that chest filled with food for her now dying garden. damn we better get that chest back! she gives me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich before i head on my way. so many questions with that. freddi meets with his friend luther. who seems to be trying to do loopty-loops. but fails miserably because he keeps hitting his head into stone. but in the process, they find a bottle with a note in it that gives the first clue as to where we can find the treasure. on the way! but uh oh, seems like we meet our antagonists of this story. a couple sharks that are also seeking the treasure. back to freddi, we meet with herman the hermit crab. poor guy's shell is so bright, he can't sleep. well we need to fix that too. so yes, even freddi fish has side quests. i can also meet with king crab at free will. not even the guards stop me. they're just like... "yeah go ahead you're cool". doesn't seem there's much i can do here though besides look at his shells and pearls. headed the other way, mrs. halibut's son seems to have gotten stuck in a cave here and needs us to free him. unfortunately i don't have anything right now i can use to free him. but i do find a nice shell that'll work nicely with herman! i head up first to the beach and find fiddler crab. poor guy stuck in a cage. another side quest. got to free him. there's also a minigame i discover. nothing hard just got to chuck jellyfish at the slow moving monsters. i could do this all day but i have a bigger quest in hand. back underwater, the key to free fiddler is not far from here. i collect it and continue onward until i get the next note in a bottle. now we have to go to the junkyard. i also collect a bone before i leave. i didn't even know i could collect that.

those sharks are on my tail. literally. seems like big guy placed these bottles so he could remember where the treasure was. but because i've been collecting them, he can't find them, and he doesn't know where the treasure is. and if big guy doesn't find the treasure, then squid father will be more then delighted to meet with them. as for now, i free fiddler and take his fishing rod as a gift. nope i can't use it to free mrs. halibut's child. but i can give herman his new shell. in return, he gives me his glowing one. now herman can finally sleep! there's a... weird area i find with a bucket and a gate. i'm able to get the gate opened a little but not much more from there. i don't ever end up fully opening the gate. ah well i'm sure what was there wasn't that important. the junkyard is in sight. but first, some math with mr. starfish! and believe me, as a math teacher, i just wanted to do this minigame forever! i got every question right! but alas i was reminded that i had a game to play. oh alright. so i give fish doggy the bone which gives me access to the next bottled note. find the 3 caves and enter the one on the right. sounds easy enough. not before finding an old car that's been sunk here. i find a clock here. i don't know why i have a clock but i have a clock. i make it to the caves. but now i have to get past eddie the eel. despite him saying that... no one gets past him. except if you have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. i guess he loves those things. the cave is dark. thankfully i have that glowing shell i can use to find our way to the next noted bottle! so the kelp is in the sunken ship. victory is so close! not before our shark friends hit up the squid father. who seems to be displeased with both of them that they couldn't find the treasure. it's only until the father sprays the sharks with ink that the big dumb one finally remembers where it is. so that's what it took huh? freddi and luther can see the treasure right behind a window. but have no way of opening it. deep into the ship, we meet fineas mcfinn who definitely loves singing about arrgh. after his song, his music box handle breaks. i need that. where do i find another instrument though? well there was a crutch i found in the ship that i could give to the pirate fish outside this ship. giving it to him and we get a mandolin in return.

i can give fineas the mandolin for the handle to open the window and get the treasure. but uh oh! those sharks found us! that's not good! quick! find a way to stop them! seems like freddi has an idea though. he suggests just sharing the kelp. so that everyone can grow it. i mean there's plenty in the chest to share! to my surprise, the sharks agree with that idea. and freddi and luther are able to grow kelp along the sea and still have enough to return to grandma grouper! and... that's it! that's the game! i am shocked it was that short, i thought it would've been a longer game.
