Nice and chill find and seek with a story attached. I couldn't find the last shell in the first level... wasn't sure if I could continue or not without it, or what would happen if I did. Movement was a bit weird. I think I'd prefer if the direction keys moved in a flat plane. Thanks for the game!

Well done on your game submission. I like the art style and the relaxing music.

Good work on hiding the crabs and shells, took me a while to find them at first because I'm clicking on the big crab claws in the sand haha.

The mouse sensitivity was quite low even when I put it up to max, but that might just be my browser was being slow.

Great work.

Thank you so much for playing! Other players have mentioned the mouse sensitivity issue, I can definitely improve the settings for the future!

Thanks I appreciate it!

Cool, chill game. The music goes well with the premise. Nice job setting a scene that shows a story.

The controls are a little tricky. I think part of it was that W and S still impact altitude while shift and space do as well. Part of it is the maybe less conventional layout with space and shift. The right click movement of the mouse also caused some problems, even in full screen, it got clunky. If I played it long enough, my brain would probably adjust. I think it was starting to.

I like the colors of the scenes with the sunsets and twilights, too.

Thanks for playing it, I appreciate the feedback! I agree about the controls, I think it would help in the future to implement rebinding to let the players choose what comes naturally, but setting up the settings UI in general took longer than I originally thought and I ran out of time. Next time!

This was relaxing to play. Good job

Great, that's the tone I was going for! Thanks for playing!

Bright Darkness

Thanks so much! I had a lot of fun making the models and levels, probably spent too much time doing that haha

Wow very fun 3D hide and seek style game! I hadn't played one of these before so I at first, I thought I was stuck to the ground like I was a player character but when I realized I could zoom and float all around the map I got a lot better at finding those shy little crabbies and the conch shells. The visuals were very appealing and combined with the music soundtrack created a really cozy yet mysterious atmosphere.

Great work!

Dracs After Dusk

baron_elmwichDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks so much! :D I thought about limiting the player to the ground, but I like having you fly around because not only does it open up more hiding spots, but you get to see the levels from different angles. It was a lot of work for one week but I had fun!

ericghaugenSubmitted1 year ago

I think the flying around decision was definitely the right choice for your game!

baron_elmwichDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks!!

Firstly, amazing job delivering something so polished and cohesive. I think you picked assets that complimented each other really well, from the models, to the water shader, and even the music and sfx. The gameplay was simple but the level design was interesting enough to keep me playing. Moving the camera with the right click was a bit difficult or perhaps I was doing it wrong. Amazing work!

Revenge Of The Tartans

baron_elmwichDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks so much! I had a lot of fun searching for music I thought would fit the tone. I’m glad the other assets felt cohesive, I had to make them pretty quickly! My texture painting skills can be improved haha

Dadbod_actionfigureSubmitted1 year ago

This is the first ever 3d seek and find I have ever experienced! very creative!

Submitted

baron_elmwichDeveloper1 year ago

Awesome, thanks so much! I recently played a game like this called Hidden Paws Mystery where you go around and find cats, and I was like, I think I could make something like this :)

PabloIRSubmitted1 year ago

A nice and relaxing game, it took me a while to finish but I couldn't stop until I found every shell and crab. Good graphics, original mechanics, and fitting music and sound effects. The right-click camera could use some work and I'm not sure how much it fits a last-stand theme but nonetheless a good game.

GDTV Last Stand

baron_elmwichDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks for playing! I was thinking that you are kind of an observer to somebody else's last stand, in this case some pirates that stole some treasure and tried to flee to this island but perished in the end. But most of all I was going for nice and relaxing at the same time lol

SemicolonkidSubmitted1 year ago

Very good 3D assets, nice work! I agree with what others have said about right-click camera controls, but I understand the time constraints. Well done!!

Thank you for playing it! I appreciate the feedback, I'm always learning!

Odyssey FrontiersSubmitted1 year ago

Reminds me of those Seek and Find books but in 3d! Really cool concept! The camera controls were a little weird in that I had trouble turning it sometimes, but a fun game for sure!

Submitted

baron_elmwichDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks so much, that's what I was going for! Yeah, the controls could use some more finesse, but thanks for sticking with it! :)

Akaki AkakievitchSubmitted1 year ago

Relaxing game.
Some controller mechanics, especially looking with the right click are not very smooth.
I loved to explore the three levels. It was nice!

Submitted

Sylvania: Last stand

baron_elmwichDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks for playing it! Yeah, I ran out of time to improve the feel of looking around with the right click, but lessons learned. You did it! :)

gurenbergSubmitted1 year ago

Immediately thought about this PMD cutscene

Submitted

baron_elmwichDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks for playing! I think it should be possible to look around if you click and drag with the right mouse button. I've learned a lot of things I can do to improve the movement experience though, thanks for the feedback! I thought that too about the Krabbys! I was like, what would crabs even do? ohh blow bubbles! lol
