Stranded by Stormboyyy
Upon crashing into a mysterious, seemingly deserted island, you play as a character that follows clues in order to attempt an escape off the island. This game is riddled with mystery, such as the nature of the islands time loop, or any help you may be getting. Artwork by BelleArtsi.

The artwork is charming, but the sprite animations are pretty odd. I'm kind of at a loss on how to play or what to do.
It's a good attempt, but I can't call this finished.
Also, for anyone looking for playable link while waiting the author to provide the link, use the source code link (yes, github). Then find the "ludum dare 47.zip" file. Then download it. After extracting it, have any software with capability to do localhost to run it, like xampp or bracket (bracket is the easiest). Or if you have nodejs installed, you can use " npx http-server -p" from command prompt. Yes, need some little knowledge on how to set up localhost.
I had a bit of a hard time figuring out what I was supposed to do. Clicking on things did nothing.
The music fit well and the art style is very cute :thumbsup:
A simple thing that would've made this a bit easier would be if the interactable elements changed your mouse to a pointer when you hovered over them. Or perhaps even a css hover effect? (I imagine doing something like `.element:hover { transform: scale(1.05); }`)
I would recommend getting some people to playtest the game during the game jam, it'll help you iron out some of the quirks and find which parts you need to make easier or clearer :)
Anyway, nice job with your first Ludum Dare game! Hope you can enter again next time.
