Wobbegong Land
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
~nothing but islands~
this is an ecological, impressionist, arcade life sim. well it's a cute low rez software world. well it's a silly bouncy car game thing. you're a little blue amphibious car/creature. you're good at bouncing, and swimming, and dreaming. live your life out in these islands, isthmuses, atolls, arroyos, lagoons, billabongs, barachois and beaches, deltas and fjords and mangroves and meres, tide pools, puddles and tarns.

this game is a work in progress. it's nowhere near finished.. releasing builds now just for fun.. every few months, i spend a couple weeks tinkering with it. nobody knows when it may be done. there's no sound or music yet.
this build contains two .exe files: one fullscreen, one windowed. fullscreen is locked to 1920x1080 for now.
~
how to play:
it only has keyboard controls at the moment. cursor keys are all you need.....
LEFT and RIGHT to drive left and right.
UP and DOWN to swim up and down.
also UP to squirt water and wall jump,
DOWN to pogo on stars you've dug up.
ADVANCED TECHNIQUE spinbounce: fly backwards through the air until you pulse, then flip forwards again. spinbounce is activated upon landing. UP/DOWN keys cancel spinbounce (try chaining these for SECRET TECHNIQUE nosebounce!!)
leap into Space Things to warp to different islands. (or press N to restart the game if you get stuck)
find a place you feel at home, sit back on your wheels, relax...
BONUS NOTES
* apparently this runs double speed on 120hz monitors. vroom!
* the music in the video is not part of the game (yet?). check my stuff on bandcamp if you want a copy - [eryngi bandcamp] [zzaapp records] =)

I wish this game had sound 😠it has such a rich visual texture, I can just imagine it! Even just the one music track in the trailer is so perfect and wonderful, everything is so wet and reverberated... how do i hack this game to add sounds >:) (lol). Thank you for this lovely game ERYNGI!
are you still working on this?
haven't touched it in a few years :( i still love it and want to do something with it one day but tbh probably never will. at least not without rewriting the whole thing from scratch...
lol i was only like %40 sure you would reply :P
well thanks for clarifying
I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future :)
What a crazy awesome game. You definitely need some SFX and music as I was getting annoyed of my own voice, haha, but you got a solid start of something.
haha thanks :D v enjoyable video, my face hurts from grinning now
This is the strangest game I have come across...
this is so unique and cute!! I love it
I have no idea whats going on though
yeah the game has no sound yet - the music in that video is just some unrelated tracks of mine.. sorry for confusion!
