Kelp on Mars

Survive 1 week harvesting [kelp][] on Mars while providing for your hungry Martian family by collecting the long light green tips of the kelp and fixing the kelp harvesting nets with the darker green kelp "blades" . You need 40 tips a day to nourish your family and 10 blades of kelp to repair each broken net—and if you break all three nets in a day that's the end of your run. What you don't use on one day rolls over into the next.

Tend well to your farm—what you harvest one day will be reflected in the next. A sprout, a short light green tip, will grow into a tip on the following day but if you harvest the [holdfast][] the kelp won't grow again.

Some Rain

Watch rain drops fall and splash at the bottom of the screen to the susurrating sound of rain falling.

No controls or interaction—just some rain.

Options

The sound can be toggled in the pause menu as can the wind effect.

Why

What started as a quick experiment with particles turned into a little simulation which is more little than simulation.

Miscellanea

This cart was originally called "Just Rain" but I appear to have subconsciously copied that from the existing, and rather wonderful, Just Rain by ROBYSOFT. So now it is called "Some Rain".

Void Seeker

You wish to become one with the void, but you're running out of time—you need to fall through the gaps on each floor and make it to the void before it closes. The deeper you go the sooner the void closes and the path becomes more challenging, but fortunately you'll have some power ups along the way. The goal of the game is to get to the deepest level as the void has no end.

Controls

⬅️➡️ - Movement
❎ - Jump/Start/retry

Features

  • The void is rife with randomness—no two levels are the same!
  • Spiffy sound effects, they'll never get old
  • High score tracking, your PB is displayed on the start screen

Gaps

  • Normal (grey) — Fall at regular speed
  • Fast (green) — Fall fast then move
  • Slow (purple) — Fall slow then move slow, less so if you jump in

When falling from one gap if you go through another that will speed your fall and give you a speed boost on landing!

Items

  • Key — Get all the keys on the floor to unlock the gaps
  • Time extend — The void lingers a little longer

Power ups

As you wish to travel light you can only hold one power–up a time, but fortunately they aren't uncommon in your journey.

  • Warp — Walls lose all meaning
  • Grav Belt — More jumps and improved slow descents
  • Speed shoes — Move faster, stop slower

Obstacles

  • Launcher — Gives you boost … back up a floor
  • Bouncer — Gives you a little push

This is an entry for the inaugural
