*"There exists a tower in the sea, which sinks and rises as the waters do. A fair bit of it has crumbled with time, but it's still mostly standing. Due to its location, it is a great place to harvest sea kelp. As an ethusiastic kelp collector, you'll need to outpace the tide in hopes of collecting all that delicous, nutritious, kelp. This kelp, is a sticky-style kelp, so if you collect a bunch, it will form into a ball and get rather heavy. Please be creative in how you handle the kelp, for this will give you the best results... Oh, and be sure to bring a life preserver in case you get caught in the waters, or pinched by a little crab, or something. Good luck, my dear!"*
In this game, you play as someone trying to harvest "sea kelp".
- She can __run__ with the arrow keys, and __jump__ with X.
- If she collects 10+ sea kelp, it will form into a heavy ball.
- She can __throw__ the kelp-ball with Z or C. (Both keys do the same thing- use your favorite!)
- If you hold one of the arrow keys while throwing, it will change the trajectory.
- If you fall into the water or touch an obstacle just once, you'll have to restart. But please do not worry, the kelp collector is very tough, and has a powerful "life preserver", so she will be fine.
- Try throwing the kelp-ball at uncollected kelp, walls, and even other kelp-balls!
--------------------
This was a very challenging LD, and I "over-scoped" dramatically... but, I am very happy with this small little platforming challenging. I am especially proud of the art and gameplay mechanics! That said, sorry about the rushed ending. :-) It is not fancy, but your final score should display if you make it to the end.
