Here is our submission 'From the Sea, Freedom' It is a sort of 2D walking simulator, or swimming simulator I guess. It's designed to be a very relaxing experience, focused on audio, exploration and mood. There's no conflict or combat. The controls are very simple, and you can use either mouse or 360 pad. The download might take a short while due to the audio files.
We recommend using the 360 pad and going fullscreen for the nicest experience. Also pleeeeease use Chrome, as some versions of Firefox are buggy with audio at the moment.
All gameplay, graphics and music was created during the weekend. We hope you enjoy it and thanks for playing.
Simply beautiful, not much else to say! :) The game does what it set out to do really well. But is it just me or was there no music? Might've been just me. This is the sort of game that totally needs music and more turqoise whales.
Thanks for the feedback. There should definitely be music, it's a big part of the game and we spent a long time on it. Sorry you couldn't hear it and experience the game in full, what were you playing it on?
I played with music helmet and that was really so good music!
I loved the mood and really enjoyed playing it, I would really have loved some lights effects, to be in the dark and only see in the direction of the mouse for exemple!
really relaxing game, I like this kind of stuff :) graphics were nice, but the animations could be a little more polished to make the game a bit more immersive
Thanks Webravenz. The theme we used is growing. When you swim past the plants they grow and more fish appear, the idea was the diver is regrowing the ocean and bringing it back to life.
You managed to create a very relaxing atmosphere, I wish there would have been more to explore. I especially like the music and the graphics. Awesome experience! I found a mistake on the thanks for playing page: There are too many "for".
It could be great but i wish there was something more to do, exploring aspect was fun but there wasn't even an option to check your discoveries, still quite nice entry
Great mood and art. Perfect color palette choice. Thought it could have used additional sound effects like scuba mask pressurizing and bubbles as the player goes deeper. I would have really loved if you could go inside things. Inside the shipwreck, the sub...maybe even the whale!...but I get that was probably a time thing. Sometimes there was a bunch of stuff in one area, so I wasn't exactly sure what I was discovering, but still, Very impressive.
I really wanna say hi to that guy at the lighthouse but I cant get up there! Beautiful game would love to see a game like this with some sort of dark mystery hidden in the depths. Like the houses and gravestones. Awesome!
I love that a jam game uses audio in such a wonderful way! It's a very relaxing experience, one of my favorite entries I've played. My only criticism is that one of the sound effects for discovering plants (the chiptuney one) was a lot louder than the others (the chords). It could probably use to be made a little quieter and/or the chords a little louder.
This was a lovely experience. I enjoyed seeing the names popping up, even if they couldn't keep up with all my discoveries. I know it's not the point, but it would've been helpful to have some sort of visual aid to what you've already discovered, like a light fade or something (that said, i did find everything). Nice work!

I don't get the link to the theme
