Lost by LavaMagmo

[raw]
made by LavaMagmo for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

You are waking up in the middle of an ocean with starnge bits of trash floating around. Collect the pieces of trash to build up your raft and get water and food to survive. There might also be something lurking in the waters!

PS. Sorry for all the bugs, I didn't have time to fix them.

Interesting game idea and good take on audio. The only issue is that the looping water somehow makes you feel dizzy. Anyway a good game!

Of course it's strange that you build a raft road... and there's no way back. The music is nice.

It's an interessant game, but the water loop make me feel a little sick, but it's fun and you have a lot of mechanics

Cool game and good take on the theme, it makes you think about the shark and collect and build as fast as you can. I would suggest improving the user experience in general. For example, at first I didn't know that I had to click on the materials floating on the sea, as there is no indication or feedback when hovering the mouse over them. Same thing with the building buttons, they look as plain text so I didn't know they were buttons at first glance. I think that with some improvements this would be a pretty addictive game :smiley:

I want to comment without the bugs, but it's unfortunately impossible to play enough time with that (When you can't put planks). Just in case, do you know you can fix your major bugs after the end of the jam ? Maybe that's what you did, but in case...

The background loop is hard to watch. I don't know if you showed it to someone before the upload, but it's a good reason to ask test from other people. And then, if there is a problem, even if you took time on it, it's better to remove it (Or change it. Like speed down the animation). But again, it's IN CASE you didn't do that.

However, you really need to show where the shark will bite, or the game over could become unfair. But that, and other things I could say, I really think it's just a lack of time. Good job anyway for your project (And for the How to play in-game. Good point).

Oh, and the music is cool !

The basic mechanics are really good. I love the idea and the music, but the waves are really hard on the eyes. I would LOVE to try a version of this with the wave textures toned down a bit.
