Visually really impressive game I wonder how you were able to make have the models and the game engine all cooperate in the end for such an effect. I spent a lot of time digging, but eventually got the gold in the end. Nice game!
I like the graphics. This has a really old school vibe that I now want to try out for myself. It feels like some old adventure game. The game play was tricky and I suspect there's bugs in the interface.
Thank you! What are the bugs you have noticed?
I went to the island I supposedly needed to go to, and pressing z did not put me on land. I had previously attempted going to the wrong island.
The graphics are really outstanding - so cool to make a 3d-looking game with only 4 colors.
The game was a little confusing at first, until I read the description explaining to use SHIFT for clues. Once having the clues, I found the gameplay quite enjoyable.
Well done!
Thank you!
I really like it! The 3D graphics are really well done, and the limited color palette gives it a really interesting look. I also really like how the water works in the ship gameplay.
Thank you!
Really cool idea with the sailing maps and the little treasure islands. The graphics look lovely we have music that I can turn on, which a good change, and the puzzles were simple, which might be the only “criticism” that I can give, more elaborate/multi step maps could elevate the game even more! Lovely work!
Thank you!
Very interesting. Sailing with the ship felt great, and the first person mode on the islands is a cool idea. The problem I found is that the game doesn't really explain much in the beginning, so it is hard to become lost.
Other than that, great job.
Thank you! I probably should have included the controls in the game itself
charlie, this is great stuff. i liked zipping around in the ship although at a certain point i felt quite lost cus there was only me and the deep blue sea. i did find my way back to the islands and i was off to dig. perhaps i am a little biased for little puzzle games with little clues to follow but i had lots of big fun.
Thank you! I did wonder if people would get lost in the ocean so there's a subtle drift back to the centre
Really cool! I loved how you crushed 3d graphics into such a low resolution. It works great for the sea, but on the island, I found it a little hard to parse.
Thank you! That's fair
It’s a small but rather unusual game—I haven’t played anything quite like it. That said, it gives off the vibe of later consoles rather than the Game Boy.
I’d love to see how a game like this develops; I think it has potential.
Thanks for playing!
The graphics were really neat! Cool game! Nice work. I bloodly found it!
Thanks for playing!
Really incredible graphics, I just love it. The SFX are also really good, and I really enjoyed the simple concept of reading the tips and looking for the treasures. Nice work!
Thanks for playing!
