Collect coins from the ocean floor. Sell the coins and upgrade the moose diver's gear to reach greater depths and more valuable coins.
How to play:
Use the coin vacuum to collect coins. Bring back the coins to the island to sell them. Buy upgrades and repeat. Be careful to not run out of oxygen as you will drop the coins you have collected if you do. Go back to the island to refill oxygen.
Controls: * WASD, move character * Space (hold), activate coin vacuum
To run the game download and unpack the zip file, then run MooseDiver.exe
The game is made in C with raylib
I made everything myself during the jam except for: Sound effects/Music, these are licensed assets The base moose model and animations, borrowed from another game of mine The UI assets, borrowed from that same game
Let me know in the comments what you think about the game or if you have any issues ☺
@athospap Thanks! In my other game the moose were miners, so they have been miners and now divers so far. Maybe they could make it as sushi chefs as well in the future, who knows. Perhaps that is a game idea for someone else to make. I think there are way too few moose games out there
sucking up the coins is really satisfying, i could see myself getting addicted to a game like this haha. I love the character design and the whole concept is hilarious. Nice work!
Man you did good. The game was fun, the music good, graphics good, no bugs.
That being said, the movement is fine but the vacuum using the space key is tedious. I would keep the movement keys the same and use the left mouse button to vacuum.
Additionally, you could make the 'W' key move forward, to change directions just move the mouse left or right, and use the left button to collect the coins.

Fun game, very satisfying to slurp up coins. So satisfying that I kept drowning due to my unchecked greed for coins.... oops. Upgrades felt impactful and the prices scaled well. Numbers in a game like this are always tricky so good work there.
Great entry all around, congrats on a successful weekend!
@beebster-games Thanks! Yeah I agree that the controls could be better. I think the current controls would probably work better with a controller, but I did not have time to try that out. Your control change suggestions sounds good and are in line of what I have thought about trying out if I end up making a full game out of this.
The gameplay is very sticky, but there weren't enough encounters to prevent you from collecting coins, there weren't enough additional islands. At first, the oxygen ran out very quickly. I'm sure the idea is very good and we can continue working on the project.
Reaching the silver coins is very satisfying. And reaching the golden ones even more.
From a technical point of view I am quite impressed... There are thousands of staples and the game seems to memorize how much I have collected from each one.
Decent incremental game, and the moose is pretty funny. Sucking up coins is a little unsatisfying because they spring back into place unless you stand still. I also dont like how the moose just snaps into a direction instead of slowly turning. Despite that though, it is really impressing for a single person jam game.
After over an hour of gameplay I can say, it's addictive. The idea is not really innovative or now but the execution of it all is nicely done! Only thing I would've liked is some sort of goal. At first I thought there might be something like a sunken ship at the end of the line - that would've been the cherry on top!
This reminds me of Roblox incrementals in the sense that you go, collect, return, get better. I like that there isn't gambling though like the Roblox ones have. The scaling feels quite nice, good work!
Like the idea to make moose dive. Sucking the coins is pretty satisfying, I definitely died more than once because I got too greedy. Overall great entry!
Hey! I like the idea! It's one of these really addictive games where you can play for hours straight!
I have some feedback tho. - I didn't like the vacuum, it should feel nice to vacuum the coins, but then you move a little bit and the coins return to the original place. It made it really frustrating for me. - Progression feels a little sloe. You have to return to the island very often. I wish I could get deeper a little faster, and have a heavier progression as you go farther. - The coins and vacuum sound can be a little annoying after a while, it's missing some variable pitchs and volumes
Other than that, I really found it funny that it is a moose on an island gathering coins underwater
Funny character, very nice music! Progression seemed slow, couldn't pump to dive to silver or gold coins in 10 minutes. Also would like more coins to be sucked in initially and there was a sound for each coin without cooldown. That way you'd sweep the coast near quickly and you'd have to dive deeper. Overall the game is great!
Really very addictive game! After an hour or more I realize that I am still here 0-0 Maybe there will be upgrades or enemies that will diversify the gameplay

P.S. Are you thinking of having the Moose work in a sushi restaurant?

Just a thought.

Fun game. Adding a bit more variety to the music would be nice.
