10s Castaway by meszka

[raw]
made by meszka for LD27 (COMPO)
You're stranded on a strange island where the day lasts only 10 seconds.
The main goal is to fix your broken boat and get back home.

Made using JavaScript, HTML5 canvas and the Jaws library: http://jawsjs.com/

Edit: If you're using Chromium on Ubuntu (possibly also Debian) and don't hear any sound effects, try installing the "chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra" package.

Nice game! Pretty hard, but that's okay :)
I just could not get the treasure chest. Never :(
And I've got no idea what the fishing rod is used for :P

I made it home! Great idea for a game... I didn't get the last tool though... will have to try again tonight. It would be cool if you could create new huts, so you could explore further

@zedutchgandalf: The fishing rod actually helps out a lot... it's used for what fishing rods are normally used for ;)

Great game! Getting the treasure even was challenging. :)

I had a great time through this =) It's a nicely condensed version of the island survival experience!

Nice and neat! Great mood and gameplay.
Did you make the hut sleeping area bigger than the graphic? I had a few close calls with night but it allowed me to sleep. That's a very good thing to be lenient with players if it was intentional :]

This was really cool. Once I figured out what the fishing rod did I was able to make progress.

That was REALLY hard for me. Maybe I didn't figure something out to make it easier, but dang, that could be really fun! You should definitely keep at this game, it has potential!

Some background music (even just a small looping audio bit) I think might have added a little bit, but overall, excellent entry!

I loved the concept of the game! I guess the worry-wart in me never lets me wander off thinking I'll never make it back in time! :P
I can't seem to get the treasure safely back home though!

Great job on this! The sprite of the character is so adorable!

Nicely done! Obtained the treasure and got home in 8 days in my second play :-)

Interesting game, pretty hard but interesting. Probably having some huts around the map would help to survive longer and have more fun!

I beat it. You have a nice start here. It was fun, and I liked the setup you had, but I was hoping there would be more. I can see the potential in this though... tons of ways to expand the game.

I loved this! Great art style and I enjoyed the pressure of figuring things out one step at a time and having to be super safe.

Hehe, nice! I like that you can finish it with some undiscovered tools "?", makes you come back for more!

Not sure why this game is believed to be that hard... The hardest part is having enough time to retrieve the treasure, everything else goes smoothly within 10 secs.
Solid survival game, congrats!

Cute little game. I haven't finished it yet, but I'll come back to it. Having the days be only 10 seconds long was a nice way to incorporate the theme.

Quite challenging, but fun to play. The 10second limit is a little bit short, and I don't like the always repeating eating ritual. Some more berry places would make the game more interesting to explore.
