AquaGone by firescape games
This is my jam game AquaGone. For this game, full screen is recommended.
In this game, water is slowly rising around the island and you have to keep it from overtaking the entire island. If you hit the rising water, the game is over.
The goal of this game is to find sticks and coins around the map and pick them up, and sell sticks in the pond at the top of the mountain. 1 stick sells for 1 coin, and you can buy super sponges which will automatically lower the water level surrounding the island for 2 coins per super sponge (lowering the water level by 10). The water slowly gets faster as you play.
I made all the music and sound effects by myself, I did not have time to make customize the art.
Sometimes the audio doesn't start when you play, if it doesn't play audio try refreshing the page and full screen after reading instructions and closing them, as that should make the audio play if it wasn't playing before.
Controls:
WASD or Arrow Keys to move
Shift to run
Space to jump
P or F to pick up sticks and coins

Well done!
I loved the art! Would make the pickup automatic, but not much else comes to mind. Was pretty nice!
Good job!
The shop hidden in the pond reminder me some star wars game in the style of Jedy academy where there were hidden places. It was a good feeling. :)
Nice entry, thanks.
The magical tiger twins of the pond who trade sticks for coins and coins for super sponges were a wonderful addition to this masterpiece. The soundtrack was also surprisingly catchy.
