Honestly, movement feels janky and I don't feel nice when moving, for me, the most crucial part of any game that involves movement is movement, if you get the feel right, just moving would be (kinda) fun, visuals aren't bad tho, and the audio is nice, but i got too confused, overall, i didn't really enjoy but with the timelimit for the dev process, quite nice, good job!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback.

I understand about the movement, because short development  time, and I was focused on matching animation with movement,  I cut the diagonal option of movement, I wonder if this is why you find it janky. 

Hopefully, in future updates, you might give it a go again.

I probably didn't find jr janky because it didn't have diagonal movement, 4 direction movement is what I prefer anyways, i also make (pretty much) all my top down games in 4 dir, it's probably because you can't go from going right to up without having to stop pressing right for example.

Really Nice Game

Developer

Thank you, I am glad that you liked it, did you find the way to escape the island?

Only The Ghost of the black beard :)

Nice game! Feels like an escape room on an island. Considering A short jam like this it’s very good.

Developer

I am glad you enjoyed the game, and your comment about an escape room has given me an idea.

a good start – if the data engine behind is easily extendable, this can become something nice!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback.

Cool game,  this has a lot of potential for growth.  I like the use of sound effects a lot.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback; I am glad you enjoyed the game. 

There is a lot of potential for this game, and I intend to develop the game further, so look for an update.

Gameplay : 3/5 - I really liked the exploration, but found little to do finally

Visuals : 4/5 - Coherent and effective. Clear. Some animations

Audio : 3/5 - The seagulls sound is fine... but it's isolated

Enjoy : 3/5 - Frustrated! I wanted to explore and escape, and I only could dig for sure death. No hints, no message

Theme : 4/5 - The story sticks to the theme

PS: for next version let me shot at the seagulls to stop their noise!

It would be really nice to see this as a full game! I love the seagulls because they have a cool sound emitting pattern(they animate when they make sounds), but I think that time may have been better spent elsewhere.(though, they are super cool, and this is a great proof of concept, also without them the island would feel empty.

6.5/10

I got carried away developing this theme idea and game concepts, there are a whole bunch of concepts on paper to add. There were sharks that I had to remove because I didn't have the time to do animation. Killer frogs and falling coconuts had a buggy issue. So I will develop this idea after the Trijam as I had a lot of fun with it. 

I like the work I did with seagulls; frame-wise, there are only four frames. I am still learning code in unity, but I managed to link sound with animation the first time. 

Thank you for your feedback.

Cool! I'll play it if it gets a finished version!

Enjoyed the different ways to die - i didn't ever escape though.

Developer

It is there and when you find it, you will realise it was so obvious and always in sight.

I am glad that you like the game
