AQUAMARINE

Can you defeat the King and free the Reef?

This is AQUAMARINE, an action game made for the 2024 Pixel Game Jam event in 10 days.  This was our first game jam so there may be issues but we hope you still enjoy it regardless! The game features 3 levels with unique visuals in each one, and a bossfight at the end.

You play as the mighty pistol shrimp on a difficult journey to take back his home, the beautiful reef. Godspeed, little man.

*We aimed to make the game difficult. Try your best to get through and give us feedback on difficulty and the level design!

Controls

You can access the controls in-game through the menu, but here they are for you just in case:

• Arrow keys or Left Joystick to Move
• Z key or A button to Jump
• C key or B button to Dash
• X key or X Button to Shoot
• Hold shoot key to Charge Shot
• P key or Start button to Pause
• Hold Enter key or Start button to skip scenes

This game plays well on both keyboard and controller! Use whichever you'd prefer but I personally recommend controller.
