Nausi-tical by Snowdrama

[raw]
made by Snowdrama for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

You're a sailor who moves cargo around on ships, easy job, except... you get terribly seasick!

Heads Up!

The game has a headbob that gets more intense as you get sick, this can be disabled in the menu!

Also the aim can be inverted in the options! Check the options in the main menu or pause the game with start/enter/backspace!

Controls - Keyboard:

  • Mouse - Aim
  • WASD - Move
  • Left Click - Pickup Boxes
  • Enter/Backspace - Pause/Menu

Controls - Gamepad(Mouse still needed for menus):

  • Right Stick - Aim
  • Left Stick - Move
  • Left Trigger - Pickup Boxes
  • Start/Menu - Pause/Menu

[Tuesday Bug fix update]

  • Fixed an issue with playing a second round where it would freeze at a blue screen.
  • Fixed an issue where sick pools wouldn't be cleared on new game
  • Defaulted the invert Y axis to false because people aren't using the menu(if you've opened the game once you'll still need to toggle the value in the options!)

@wyl-team Thanks for playing! Thought it was a pretty funny idea when we were brainstorming ideas haha!

@colbymakesgames You can invert the look in the menu! Yeah I figured that might trip people up, if you're looking towards the front of the boat port is the left side, and starboard is the right! Starboard is the side where the steering oar is on old boats, and port is the opposite of that because that's the side you load cargo on and off the ship when docked at a port! That said the boat model we used it is hard to tell which side is which because it's hard to tell which way is forward T_T The bow/front is the raised area and the stern is the lower side.

@neowhoru thanks for playing! Yeah I really put the game together in like one day of work total hahaha. As for the negative score, it's because you lose points when you vomit on the boat and cargo becomes worth less if you vomit on it! Vomiting over the side of the boat doesn't make a mess so you don't lose points! So to get a high score you need to manage vomiting over the side of the boat and moving the boxes around!
