Oshan: Exploring The Endless Deep Ocean Humans Left Behind by kiririn51

[raw]
made by kiririn51 for LD29 (COMPO)
Made in a day because I scrapped my original project.

This is a experimental game where you just wander around discovering stuff in the deep ocean.

"The world has ended, and Dana has the mission of exploring the great ocean in search for what humanity left behind"

There is no goal, the game is about wander around discovering items, which are generated randomly everytime you start the application. No scores, no enemies, just you and the deep ocean.

Really lovely art. Sometimes the text go out of the screen and you can't read them.

Art is gorgeous, love the palette. Neat take on the theme-- loved the NOPE skeleton. Must admit I also nope'd right out of there.

That's very nice art. Pity there wasn't more of a coherent story built through the exploration though to up the mood.

totally agree on what nxT says =D if you could have put some atmospherical music in there it would have been even better=)

A very nice game, simple mechanics, beautiful art. For me, not really fulfilling the theme to much, and lacks some basic audio, maybe.

Great choice of colour palette and I like the art style altogether. Would have been nice with some soothing music with it :)

I love the art in the entry. Perhaps some more time on gameplay would have made this entry really amazing. Never-the-less, great job!

Too bad you had to scrap your original project, althought this wasn't too bad either. Don't lose your way.

Lovely graphics, just slap some audio on it, fix the bugs (objects spawn over other objecst) and give the player some inertia and it'd be pretty good already.

Is the endless deep ocean perhaps made of LCL ._. I saw that empty uniform!

Not bad at all for 24 hours. Like the other posters, I'd like to see this fleshed out and polished a little bit more, with more sound and gameplay added.

Something you might want to pay attention to: when you just press the right or left key, you don't go in a circle. Instead, it's an oval... It looks like you might want to go under the hood of your physics engine a little bit more.

Thanks for the game!

Actually I listened to "Ichinen Nikagetsu Hatsuka" while playing it, which makes up the absence of audio a bit, and then the game playing feels quite good! I can see you put much endeavor into making this game! Also, saw that K*** la K*** reference... XD

Hard for me to rate this as it's largely an unfinished work. I would've liked it more if the rumble of the ship when it's moving was present when it stopped. As someone else mentioned, inertia would be nice.

It's interesting that the "treasure" is random, but I don't know if I can call this a game so much as some lovely artwork.

All the same, I appreciate the art and I hope you flesh it out later. I'd love to see what it becomes because I feel like there's high potential here.

Thanks for sharing!
