Plunder the Sea

Plunder the Sea is a game about exploring the depths of the ocean to recover pieces of your boat to return to civilization. Along the way you will meet helpful otters and jellyfish  that will aide you on your journey. You must conserve your oxygen and return before sunset each day or face the consequences of the dark ocean.

Controls:

WASD - Movement

Shift - Swim faster, uses more oxygen

Mouse - Click on treasure to send otters out and grab the treasure. You must return it to your boat before the end of the day to earn credits.

Click on enemies to send your animal companions over and attack. Attacking happens automatically. 

Objective:

Find all 4 pieces of your ship to rebuild it and win the game.

Animal Friends:

Swim near otters and jellyfish to have them follow you. Click on treasure to make your otters pick it up. Click enemies to attack them with your jellyfish and otters. Otters can pick up treasure, jellyfish have higher attack damage.

Shop:

At the end of each day, if you returned to your boat, you get a selection of 3 items to purchase. The more treasure you collect, the better these items are.

Oxygen:

As you swim, you will use oxygen, shown at the top left of the screen. Sprinting will double your speed, but triple your oxygen use, so be careful. Losing all oxygen without being next to your boat means your animal companions will rescue you. You do not get to use the shop that night.

Treasure:

Getting treasure earns you credits, which you use to purchase upgrades at the shop. 

Day Cycle:

Time will pass, as indicated by the sun at the top of the screen. If you don't get back to the boat at the end of the day, you do not get to use the shop that night.

Notes:

I tried hard to get all the mechanics I wanted, but that also left me with almost no time for level design. I really like what I have so far, so in the future I will work on designing the levels properly.
