Lost Blues

My submission for the Mini Jam 36: Nature.

Check out the project page on my website.

The limitation of Mini Jam 36 is...
3 colors
Your game can only ever show 3 RGB colors on screen at once. Palette swapping is allowed. Yes, Black and white count as colors.

Controls

Start the game but clicking on some Kelp to cut it down. You'll receive currency as a reward.

Use this currency to buy more Kelp stems (5 cost item in the "shop" area) and create a sustainable source income.

On the left of your "toolbar" you have a button that can be used to upgrade your cutting power, reducing the amount of clicks required on half on each level.

Finally, get creative. Release Fish, create a relaxing landscape with bubbles and customise your reef.

Cheat Sheet

Cut the Kelp to earn currency. Kelp Segments have 4 Health.

Plant more Kelp to increase your production.
