I made a really short form experience game about being on the beach, picking stuff up, and putting it down again.
I started playing around in Bosca Ceoil and having a great time of it, having had no music experience before. Made several tracks, but decided to make a tiny game around this one.
Can you find the secret ending?
Arrows - Move
Space - Pickup/Put Down
G - Throw

None of the graphics load for me, I just get a black screen. I am on Linux using the Chromium web browser.
I like the music and ocean sounds!

Ha, what a great entry. Really cool!
I hope you'll continue to make music, because even though you say you have no prior experience in it, it sounds alright to me!

Nice work!
With the sun just about showing itself here again I had a pleasant stroll across the beach to some really relaxing music. It reminded me of playing Endless Ocean on the Wii and just enjoying some calmness.
I decided to try to tidy the beach as best I could - the right side was pretty clear until more washed in but such is life - doing something isn't only worthwhile if its permanent.

The Good Things:
- The game and the music is really relaxing and fun.
- I especially liked the attention on the small details, like the footsteps on the beach, the floating waste in the water, and the calming sound of the ocean.
- The music is really well done, and it fits the game super well.
- The game is overall super easy to understand and it easy to play.
What Could Have Been Better:
- It is really easy to hear where a loop in the music stops and a new one starts. I believe it what @DrSnuggles called a "little hiccup". A solution here can perhaps be to stop the music for a second or two between the loops, and in this period just let the player hear the sound of the ocean.
- I would really like some more stuff to do, and perhaps give the game a more clear end goal. (And yes I did find the ending)
Overall it is a super great little LD game. And I had a great time playing the game. WELL DONE.

This is a really great experience.(I couldn't think of what to call it). The music really sets the tone of the whole thing. I really enjoyed it!

Really nice. Great pixels.
For the music hiccup- having it fade in/out is a good way to smooth that over ^^^, also if your code has it looping precisely, you might fix the soundclip file by making sure the very beginning and very end are at the exact same place on the first beat of the measure (maybe hair before the beat).
I'd also edit the water sprite so that it has a sort of arc (round off the top two corners) so the hard edge on the side looks a little smoother when you layer them.
cool game! id like to see your other work.

thanks for the feedback! I just uploaded a new version without the music clipping at the end (it just fades off and starts again). I also added some more sprites of tiny beach junk for kicks.
Been having lots of fun making music since this. So much that I started a soundcloud to post things.

Still don't really know what i'm doing, but I'm enjoying playing around. I started bringing midis from Bosca Ceoil into LMMS and replacing the instruments.

I made a video talking about your game, amongst others, so I thought I'd share it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4y1BCRgXl0
Thank you for your effort and keep doing what you're doing~
