This game was definitely different from the other games I've played from this jam, and it was somewhat fun to play for a while (I'm not sure how fun it would be to play it for a long time, probably more fun because then I'd have time to better figure out the values of shells), but I wouldn't have time to play each game from this jam for a long amount of time (I've got through roughly ten percent of the games).
The walking by jumping worked well, and so did the art in the game. I think the main menu's scrolling background was a bit weird, and on the credits screen it's a bit hard to read the text when the background is moving all the time.
There's not much audio, but I like that on the main menu going up an option plays one sound and going down makes another one. But after playing the game for a while, I wanted to turn down the volume of sound effects, and that can be done from an option in the main menu, but not after starting the game. It would have been nice if I could at least get back to the main menu without having to close and reopen the game. But compared to games that don't let me adjust the volume of sound effects and music separately at all, that's still a huge improvement.
Enjoyed this game though I was kinda confused at the start what sea shells to really collect/trade. Maybe a tier list or something would help at the start? Good game though and very different to the others I've played, nice job!
Thank you for commenting! The unknown values of the seashells is intentional, since you're supposed to figure out what combination of seashells gives the best chance of the highest value. There's a lot of risk and reward, though should I come back to this game I might change that mechanic
Ah I understand, just kind of got confused at how I was meant to play haha. A tutorial would be enough really as once I kinda worked it out it made sense :)
Loved it!
You still have some bugs but it's great non the less☺
Cute and interesting game.I loved the idea of trading to find seashells values such an interesting idea :DThe game looks really cute and polished.Maybe you can expand this game to a full release.
Overall loved it :D
A cute fun little game. Maybe you can show the others score and make like a scoreboard for them, instead of just telling your score at the end. But really liked it.
