BSEMW

BROADBAND_SPECTRUM EM_WAVE, while not named like it, is a tale about an old African chieftain, exiled by his former village, sent to swim, survive or die. But likely die.

However, it's hardly finished, as you'll likely see soon after you start playing. If you find what I mean, hreh.
I started about 13 hours ago, my first project was too ambitious but served more or less as the introduction to GameMaker - finally made use of that free Standard license - I needed for this. Sigh. Planning and stuff.

I never made sounds before, and I didn't for this one either. I should work on that, ambient sea sounds should work pretty great on this.

So, I wouldn't call this a game yet, more like 'Old Black Guy Swimming Simulator 2015'. Though if you like the art-style, the mystery, lolol, the swimming animation, you can just mail me at [email protected] and I'll email you when I make significant progress.

Thank you, Ludum Dare, for giving me such a cool project.

CONTROLS:

left arrow: move left
right arrow: move right
up arrow: jump/swim

F1: restart game

TL;DR: NO GAME YET. OLD BLACK GUY SWIMMING SIMULATOR. HOPE YOU ENJOY.
ALSO I NOTICED DROWNING IS NO LOSING CONDITION YET

Looks good, and plays nice and smooth :D
Also i seem to have made something similar... well not exactly... WE BOTH START ON A BEACH AND SWIMMING IS INVOLVED... I liked it...

I liked the art. The charater animations are fun :)
The collisions underweater seems buggy, I got stuck often
