How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
There's a strange myth about the location, that has to do with the special object. Perhaps the player is investigating this myth, or perhaps he is unaware? All we know is that he is being intermittently interrupted by some guy, who advertises certain things or himself, but is perhaps unaware of how annoying he is being.

I can definitely understand how little time we had to create a game. With the game I made, I basically grinded the entire time and didn't have a life for the whole 3 days which was a bit tough lol. Found the coin btw! 👈(ﾟヮﾟ👈)

I'm sorry about that, the audio cues are the only hint on where the object might be hidden, when it beeps faster it means you are over the object. I should have perhaps made a more informative tutorial.

i can understand that on my game you should have a content creator life will selling views and i just cut it off cause it will take too much time.  i started the 8 march at 1pm and i had to go somewhere at 3pm the 9 march

yeah, I saw your project too, it seems like we may have made the same mistake of making it too ambitious. I also cut like maybe 70% of the original plan. I just ended up spending all my time in bug fixing the metal detecting system, making sure the audio plays correctly etc.  You seemed to have got a lot more done than I did though, so well done.

Came for the game, stayed for the story. Found one coin, though.

Thanks you, your game was one of the few I finished from start to finish, much better balanced than mine is.

Hey, don’t sell yourself short. Yours stood out as memorable to us. The guy on the beach as the “annoying ad”was clever - I haven’t seen anyone else make their theme in this way.
