Reach the Ocean

Reach the Ocean is an arcade game made exclusively for the Playdate game system and made with Panic’s web-based editor Pulp.

                               

The goal is to get the sea turtle to the ocean. Sounds easy enough right? There are seagulls flying overhead and ghost crabs that will stop at nothing to take you down. Find the best path around the crabs through nine levels (more levels to come) and get to the end. Collect as many shells as you can to get to the end.

Talk to the other sea turtles on the way.

Low on health? Interact (Hi-Star)  with the starfish.

 D-Pad = To move the turtle up and down and all around.

There are two types of collectibles in the game.

 Seashells: These will give you one (shell) point.

Conch shells : These will give you four (shell) points.

 Ghost crab: This little guy will team up with his buddies to come after you.

 Seagull: Enemy, sometimes frenemy. Seagulls fly horizontally in the game but if a crab is in its path, its bye bye crab. It works the same way with the turtle. 

 Whirlpools: Stay away from them as they will cause some major pain to the turtle.

I do have a few ideas planned but more on that at a later date. If people are interested, I can start posting devlogs.
