''[[Swim, Ikachan!]]'' is an exploration platformer with RPG elements made by [[Studio Pixel]], who would indeed go on to create his [[Magnum Opus]] ''[[Cave Story]]''. The game is often cited as a 'practice' by Pixel in preparation for the aforementioned ''Cave Story''.
In this game you are Ikachan, a young squid who lives in an underwater society constantly ravaged by earthquakes and facing a food shortage problem. He must explore the world, gain powerups, eat fish, and eventually face off against the tyrannical ruler Ironhead.
The game can be found [http://tinsanity.net/ikachan/ here].
