Ark Survive by Pusheeneiro
40 days, 1 Ark, 100 problems
Dozens of decisions, just one good ending.
The fate of the world depends on your decisions.
==========================================================================================
Hi! Me and 4 of my friends gathered around to participate in this gamejam. We decided to make a story driven game keeping in mind the subject of this event “Keep it Alive”. In our game you’ll be playing as Noah trying to keep as many animals on the Arc as possible. Remember choices matter, they are going to guide you and hopefully make you laugh on the way.
We created all the graphics. For most music and sound effects, we used copyright free sources. Main theme "Loop The Seven Seas", comes from freesound.org, created by Morten from LittleRobotSoundFactory, licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution License.

But the idea to make a Noe's Arc game like this is very nice, graphics are very nice and animations are perfects. The music you have choosen is perfect, but it become quickly repetitive.
I hope the text's cards problem would be patched soon to play it again !
(sorry for my english I'm french)
It's a shame there is an issue with invisible cards and I agree with @monkey-knight. I died 2 times and I didn't really know why.
Please @me once the cards issue is fixed, I'd love to play this game to completion!
Also I had a problem when resuming game options were set to the first day questions, but I didn't impact the choices made before (yeah I was trying to figure a way to stay alive)
Thanks for the feedback, could you explain your problem better, because I don't quite understand its essence.
God is a prick.
The writing and the jokes are super and the music really lifts up the funny mood.
Died quite a few times, but really enjoyed going forward with the story!
Maybe some choices felt a bit "easy" or forced and I kinda chose by humor and not by looking at resources that much.
Great work really and I swear Hedwig you should break up with that guy.
I tried. But god messes around with me too much xD this is how far I could get.
The music was also very good and added to the funny mood. Great game <3 x

Never knew I wanted that, but I really wanted that o:
Really love the humour of your game, really right up my alley :D That being said, usually in these type of games there's a common logic behind answers, sometimes I really felt screwed over by the game. Maybe give indications of what which card does? I understand that you probably deliberately chose against doing that, though.
What was also really weird is how I had playthrough after playthrough landing at Day 19 approximately, and then, when it finally clicked, I made it to day 40. That is because after a certain storyline ended, the cards just repeated from the beginning, so there was no problem making it to the end.
Overall though it's really a great game you did there and I had a lot of good laughs from it :D Thank you for your hard work!

@wzqxrys Thanks.
@axefall Welcome on The best Ark captain list and thanks you for your time.
@terristen Thank you for opinion. We didn't have so much time, so we decided to add some humorous deaths. Deaths may seem illogical, but you they think it over, they just follow twisted logic.
@jake-marks Thank for feedback and playing our game on Twitch. It's a mouse deer wiki for U https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrotain
The one problem I had with the game is the gameplay itself. I didn't really get what I was supposed to do. The choices, while funny, felt very random. In the end I failed my way through and learned the answers where I wasn't dieing by heart.
In the end I still enjoyed the ride because of the nice humour :)
Day 40, Animal Count 37.
If you want to know the timestamp of when your game was played you can see it in this spreadsheet:

And then look in my latest videos and find your game being play (after the current stream ends)

But while playing I encountered few issues:
- the story seems to be 0-1 situation, where there is only one perfect solution. I felt I had no impact on the story, I just needed to find the right answers.
- I didn't like that one decision (like removing my shirt) can make me suddenly dead. It was very anticlimactic. I would rather have some health bar and every sniffles from cold, accidents would deplete my life eventually. That way I would be able to try to shield my health in some cases.
- the graphic is nice but I find it strange that when the text talks about kangaroo I see a giraffe.
- usually I had a choice between two sides, but sometimes I didn't, but it wasn't clear when. So I had to move my mouse from one paper to the other and see if then it will get a tint to make sure I can click it.
I hope you will develop this game some more and will add to the story, because there is a nice potential. Good luck!
Best,
Anna from 4boa team
The concept of Noah's arc is a clever choice for the theme.
Fun entry!
I had two events repeat in the same 40-day run, with exactly the same outcome - which is a shame, as it broke the immersion a bit. I had fun overall and lost only a cat and an elephant.
I also found a typo. Should be God, not Got ;)
Also, look out for Polish government now - they are probably already on their way to get you for some kind of blasphemy :wink:
Well written, and I really appreciate the nice responsive UI.
I did not love having to click back through everything after death, but the UI made it pretty painless.
I feel like instead of a death/restart having wrong decisions just affect stats would have felt better.
I managed to die really fast in the first run, but on the second I managed to get past day 40.
Keep up the good work.
I przesyłam pozdrowienia :D
