TIDEBREAK

you eat them. Roast them at the fire or smoke them for twice the food.Fight with what you made: clubs, knives, spears, bows, a sling, a cutlass, an anchor, a harpoon crossbow, a trident, and the blade you forge from a boss's ore.Wear armor. Cloth and bark first, copper and iron once the furnace runs, coral at the end. It shows on your character.Open chests for powerups that last the run and stack. 33 of them. Shrines offer you a choice of three.Kill the three bosses on nights three, six and nine, take their Tide Sigils, build the Beacon and light it. Then hold out until the ship comes.Every run is a new islandType a seed or let the game roll one. Same seed, same island, so you can hand a good one to a friend. Nothing in the world is placed by hand. Days are six minutes, nights three, so a full run is a little under an hour and a half if you reach the end. Most first runs do not. Storm tiers open up after an escape and make everything hit harder for more Sea Glass. Some nights it rains.Between runsSea Glass buys Workshop perks that carry over: start with better gear, get a free chest, get back up once after you go down. Achievements unlock hats, shirts and packs. The codex remembers every fish and creature you have met.Co-op for threeInvite Steam friends or connect directly. Everyone has their own bag, health and powerups. The island is the same for all of you and the waves grow with the group. If you fall, a teammate can carry the night and you get back up at sunrise.Small printMade by one person in Godot. Every model, sound and effect in the game is generated by code. The only recording is the menu song, and I played that one. Runs fine on modest hardware. Solo runs save between nights, so you can stop and continue later. If something breaks, tell me on the community hub. I read it.
