How does the game fit the theme?
You alone are tasked with maintaining a ship designed for a crew of 30. Your background as a dolphin behaviouralist has left you unprepared for this scenario. To make matters worse, the ship gradually falls apart no matter what you do. And the android overseeing you may not be very forgiving... "Nothing can go wrong" in the taste of irony.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
A few sounds and textures. The VAST majority of this game is 100% original and created during the jam.

The majority of textures were hand-painted by our 3D Artist, Olaf. And all textures were altered in some way to fit the game's style. Only 5 textures - the foliage - were not hand-painted.

The majority of sounds were created in-house by me, ScaleShift. For some examples: to record footsteps, jumping, and landing, I was running around outside holding my cell phone by my feet. To record sliding I slid my hand across my desk next to my microphone. Etc. The sounds which were not recorded in-house were nonetheless almost all altered in some way as well.

great game! Very polished. Insane you did this in a week. I think one thing that could help you in the future is the sound mixing? It feels very sloppy, especially the wall running sound and dashing.

It really hurt my ears whilst playing. I wonder if you were to production use it in the future to just use a mixer to turn them down? Also, I didn’t really understand what to do in the game so I just kept running around lol. I think the same with the music, it was very repetitive, especially it just being an acoustic drum set. Felt like you could’ve done more with it :/ anyway, really great game, still can’t believe you did this in a week. The art is great! Thank god I have a windows PC so I can play.

the audio in the game was very harsh and loud, so I think you should’ve implemented some sort of mixing? Other than that, an ok game. The premise was funny, but I think more care should’ve gone into not destroying my ears 😂 especially on the music. I couldn’t hear most of what was going on and it felt pretty random. Also, make it accessible for all platforms! Can’t believe people only upload for windows these days, crazy…

Sheesh, cant believe you did this in a week and majority of the art was your team! Great work! Definitely one of the best i've played. And the funny voice lines cracked me up.

Thanks so much! I feel so embarrassed that it wasn't more polished. Thanks very much!


it may be hard to believe but the controls are rly hard in this game. but the voice is funny
Developer

Wow, a video! Thanks for taking the time to do that :) If you thought my voice acting was funny, you actually missed the most comical voice line in the game (imo) because you were so patient! If you interrupt the android boss during the opening intro speech by interacting with any task, you will get a special voice line :)

You should add an audio settings because some SFX were very loud but otherwise fun game

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing our game! There were so many things we wanted to add to the game but sadly the time constraint was very tight so we didn't get around to that.

I tried playing your game but couldn't download it. I'm not sure if the problem is on my end or the games.

No Compatible downloads were found error. I found a link here that might help, let me know if it does. :)

Hi - thanks for trying! This game was developed for Windows desktop. If you are using a different operating system, that may be the cause of this issue. Unfortunately, I have no plans to develop for any platform other than Windows for the foreseeable future.
