Flour from bateas by LDJam user 337336

made by LDJam user 337336 for Ludum Dare 53 (JAM)

Get ready to step into the dangerous world of drug smuggling

Step into the dangerous world of drug smuggling. With just 5 minutes on the clock, you'll need to be lightning-fast to smuggle as much "Fariña" (which means flour in Galician), the name that locals give to cocaine, as possible from your mother ship to the beautiful coast of Galicia. The authorities are always on the lookout for smugglers.

Will you be able to outsmart them and become the ultimate Fariña smuggler?

:newspaper: Read the news

The news will give you feedback at the end of the game about how good you did (either lose or win). There is algo a third "win" that is hidden, can you find it?

Be aware that your acts have consequences...

This if my first complete game that I've made and the first submission to Ludum Dare. I have a little help from a friend.

This game was made in Godot4 in 48 hours (Couln'd spend the 72 hours of the jam).

Nice concept, would have loved to have the boat be more controlled in finer degrees though. All in all a good concept though, good work

Nice little entry

I would have liked that moving with an empty ship wouldn't be concidered illegal tho 😅

@larrymartinjr yeah totally, the boat control has lots of room for improvement

Thanks for the feedback

@nicso maybe they think that you have the guilty look ;)

It makes a lot of sense to be innocent if you boat were empty, thanks for the comment!

The siren sound effect "iooo, iooo" is hilarious xD. Nice idea for game! Maybe your ship shold move slower when you have more cargo? The police boats seemed to follow the same paths all over again. Maybe little mini game for un/loading cargo could make it more fun? These are just my little suggestions after playing. Anyway congrats to you for this game, solid entry!

Nice work, solid mechanics, really enjoyed it! Some variety to the enemy styles would really bring it to the next level I think

@floralvikings being my first game, I run a little short on time, but I will use the feedback for the next one, thanks!

@elisagonda the game is a little unbalance, I think it's a little difficult in the begining until you figure out enemies movement pattern

Thanks for the feedback!

Great job. I think it is a neat and fun game. I suggest that you could add some waves when you move the boat to the sea or some objects of reference. Because it is diffcult for player to notice whether they are moving with a pure blue background.

@devil-ovo oh, great point, I didn't realize that!

Thanks for the feedbak, the next one will be better

An interesting game, but I didn’t manage to pass it, police boats are too fast)

@lexuor as a tip, the routes that they navigate are always the same.

I think the difficult at the beggining, as you said, should be a little more approachable.

Thanks for the feedback

interesting game! I really liked the use of proximity audio. I found the mix of slippery controls and one shot deaths with lots of difficult enemies to be a bit frustrating at times though.

@uppitydonkey57 controls are a little bit unpolished, so I know what kind of things I need to improve for the next ludum dare :laughing:

Thanks for taking the time to play and post your feedback!

I loved the siren sound haha, the concept is good! It reminded me of smugglers run, I loved that game as a kid.

I think it would have been cool to have a sort of progress bar to for when a ship had seen you, to indicate yours being spotted, that would also give the player a bit of tension I suppose? If the camera was zoomed out a little more also it would have made it a little easier to plan a route.
