Help Captain Madoff who's sailing on the ocean while trying to evade pirate taxes! Make sure his treasure is as small as possible, or he might have to pay... :(

DISCLAIMER:
The game was done in 3 days in the context of a Mini Jam. Rules are not strict about pre-existing assets, but I DID use assets found online (see Credits section).

-= What's this game =-

This is my first participation to a Game Jam! My contribution to MiniJam 159.

Theme: Ocean
Limitation: As small as possible

[Game sources released after the minijam votes are over]

I used this opportunity to learn tiling, physics movements and to leverage events to try to decouple UI and Gameplay. 

This project was done in the context of my portfolio. As a senior back-end engineer with 7 years of experience, I want to dedicate my career to working in the gaming industry. I'm now an aspiring gamedev / network engineer.

-= Things I wish I implemented =-

This project was done alone in 3 days. Here is a list of ideas I wish I implemented

  • Multiplayer online - one game every 15min, anyone connecting automatically join the room, a lot more islands and interactions to make it collaborative between many random players.
  • Bigger islands, allowing the player to go on the island and forcing him to resolve a puzzle to hide coins!
  • Winds and better obstacles
  • Shaders for water, and cloud shadows on the water
