Since SIMBL has been updated for Snow Leopard, I re-discovered many plugins for Mac OS X. Afloat is one of those plugins I tried and deleted because of crashes / bugs. Now, with a stable SIMBL release for 10.6, I’d like to focus on Afloat, an amazing windows manager for Mac OS X. Oct 30, 2016 Always on top solution, quickly install Afloat in macOS - rwu823/afloat. If nothing happens, download the GitHub extension for Visual Studio and try again.
Please note as well that, while we have the game available to try on the browser, we will eventually release the game as a desktop app. Please consider trying out the Windows or Mac build for a more accurate version of the game. If using a Mac, please see the Mac section in the Installation Instructions below.
This is our first IP based on an idea we conceived at the Global Game Jam 2020. See here for the game jam game, which serves as our prototype.
In this local-coop game, the pirates must keep their sinking ship afloat for a duration of time, while leaks keep appearing at the base.
The players must coordinate with each other to stay afloat by doing the following:
- Using the bucket to empty the ship of the water that's filling in through the leaks.
- Using the hammer to build planks at the work table and using those planks to plug in the leaks.
The less water that's inside the ship, the quicker you will be able to beat the level!
Some levels may have mechanisms that can be triggered by floor switches. To activate a floor switch, simply walk on it when it's popped up.
NOTE: regarding the descending from platform action, not all platforms can be descended from.
