Urchin`s Escape

In our little game we created for the Brackeys Gamejam 2023, you play as an urchin, that is an undiscovered specimen. You eat oil and therefore are lighter than water. You have to grab objects that are heavier than you are which will drag you down. 

But beware. The humans protect their precious oil and want to kill you. Have fun playing.

The depth can be beautiful. So try to get deeper, till your enemys will falter under the pressure and look at the beautiful scene you will find before you reach the finishline.

Controls: Mouse only (Pull towards object, Push from object)

Note: unfortunatly there wasnt much time to balance the finished game in terms of object spawning and speed. There are also a lot of bugs and the music is not that great. Mostly due to un illnes of one of our developers.  Thank you for your understanding.

For anyone who likes a lot of story and cool speech, this is for you:

Dive into the immersive depths of an underwater world like no other in our game created for the Brackeys Gamejam 2023! Embark on a unique adventure as an undiscovered urchin species, fueled by an unusual appetite for oil. As you consume oil, you become lighter than water, granting you the ability to float effortlessly upwards. Your mission is to navigate through this captivating aquatic environment, strategically grabbing onto objects that outweigh you, causing you to sink and progress deeper into the mesmerizing abyss.

But the tranquility of this undersea realm is disrupted by the guardians of the oil, the humans who stand vigilant to protect their valuable resource. With danger lurking around every corner, you must outwit these foes to survive. Skillfully pull yourself towards objects, utilizing your environment to your advantage, and tactically push away from them to control your depth.

As you delve further into the abyss, the pressures of the ocean will increase, revealing the stunning beauty of the deep-sea world. The ambient light dims, and the colors transform into a breathtaking display of bioluminescence and otherworldly hues. The game's design invites you to explore not just the mechanics, but also the hidden wonders that lie in the deep, waiting to be unveiled.

Venture to reach the elusive finish line, where an awe-inspiring vista awaits. The weight of your enemies will gradually succumb to the intense pressures of the ocean, granting you the opportunity to revel in the magnificence of the scenery before you.

Please keep in mind that our development timeline was tight, and some aspects like object spawning and speed may not be perfectly balanced. We appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoy the experience we've crafted. Immerse yourself in the beauty, strategy, and suspense of our underwater world, where survival, exploration, and the mesmerizing unknown await—all with just the movement of your mouse.
