Hello! This is Magnetism, together with @Tyrannos.

This time, we created Once More In Ocean, a game centered around sound, where you play as a Star Spirit collecting lost treasures.
You will pilot your astral radar vessel across the ocean, using signals to locate what has been forgotten.

The theme Signal is fascinating to us, as it represents an alternative way of perceiving the world — one that is frequency-based, self-scaled, and intuitive.

In our game, we transformed information that is usually presented visually into auditory signals.
Treasure hunting is no longer about spotting something shiny on a map — it becomes a process of listening, interpreting, and sensing.

To support this, we designed a wide range of in-game signal sounds.
Additionally, the game features six original soundtrack pieces. While drifting across the sea, don’t forget to turn on your radio.

Special thanks to the audio contributors from PIXABAY!

Круто, море и волны ощущаются хорошо. Не хватает когда корабль поворачивается чтобы и штурвал крутился. Мне понравилось хоть я и заблудился.

Unfortunately I didn't really understand what I was meant to do in this entry. I feel like a short tutorial could have been a help. Maybe there is one and I somehow missed it though. Despite that I still enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of your game and the really nice music. The ambient sounds mix really well with the visuals. Good job!

I launched the web version on itch.io The game shows a lighthouse, and then only a black screen and the sound of water

I love the idea of exploring the vast ocean with a boat. The lighthouse felt like the only reliable navigation point. I did not understand how to start the "go-here" sequence, and did not succeed to catch the first collectable as I did not notice it arrived.

The graphics and the feeling in the environment was well done! The steering wheel could have rotation so to imrpove the feedback.

This game needs explaining. I got the first treasure i think, but the rest i was not able to find or felt like i was not told how. Impressive effort with a boat on water in 3d, in a jam game. Good job.

Could you tell me what happened, besides the browser and device you are using? @greatpasta

I wanted to record a video with a black screen. It turned out that we just had to wait, there must be some kind of download going on or something. This is the first time I've seen this, no loading scales or pictures on the background.

I suddenly encountered a similar situation just now. It might need to wait a bit longer when downloading resources @greatpasta

I can't figure out how to play. Just move on WASD or there is something else?
