The theme: A place you remember visiting when you were younger.

A personal game about memories of seaside holidays as a child.

Controls: WASD

Everything by me except for sound which is a mix of edited versions of a midi of 'I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside' from the Internet Archive and a recording of gulls from freesound user owl. The cover image is an actual postcard.

Also thanks to the organizers of the jam and creators of the idea of 'flatgames'. The format and the focus on handmade art is particularly appropriate for personal games like this and I thank you for giving me this opportunity to explore my memories in this way.
