A relaxing experience. I really felt like Schmitt was in the room with me.
thanks for playing :)
Beautiful treasure hunting game :)
I liked the weight gain feature it makes use of the prerec pretty well. W GAME!
Tnx
The arrow towards Schmitt was a nice decision, if its not there i would be lost at the coast carrying heavy items 😂 nice game! cozy 🌊
Great work on incorporating the prerequisite in the game, it was a tough one but you embodied it very well. The game is very cozy thanks to the music making it pretty relaxing game to play. Good job!
thanks for playing, the music was actually a very last minute choice and originally there was none
I searched for the exit but didn't found it ! ^^
I like the ambience, the sound track is great only the dig sound cut it hard. I think the moral is we are better not digging and let the sea its treasures. I just didn't find the hotkey to release the shovel and sit.
thanks for the feedback!
I liked exploring the wide beach, and the mechanic where carrying more slows you down works well. It might add more tension if valuable items were farther from Schmitt, or if the tide could wash items away over time.
As simple as the game loop is, it is a bit sad theres no end goal or an end of the play session to really show you how well you did. Our games are very similar and i add a time limit to mine so people can try to reach a good score. Maybe itll work on yours too! I also see some people asking for upgrades since you are collecting money and i think it should be possible and can be done, looking forward if you do more with this!
It's a pretty cool game. The gameplay is a bit boring because there's nowhere to spend money. But other than that, it's a good game.
thanks for playing!
the gameplay is like that on purpose,
it represents how humanity strives for dopamine and getting rewarded
its a game of reflection where Schmitt is the only attention you get
