Without A Paddle by David U

made by David U for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

Start with nothing in the middle of the ocean! WASD to move - it might take a few seconds to come across items.

Collect the items you need to survive. Click on food and water to replenish the respective meters.

CRAFTING - press the up arrow to open the crafting menu. RAFT requires 4 wood. PONCHO requires 2 cloth. HAT requires 1 cloth. WATERPROOF PONCHO requires 1 tarpaulin, 1 rope. WATERPROOF HAT requires 1 tarpaulin. ...and many more (maybe). ;)

Replenishing food did not really work - clicking on a seaweed either did nothing or it made the seaweed disappear but did not grant any replenishment to the food meter. I also encountered another bug when a used item (seaweed, cloth for crafting) would magically come back to the inventory after pressing the UP arrow to go into crafting menu. On all three playthroughs, I did not manage to find any water - but that may be just my bad luck.
Also, if I was supposed to be able to equip the crated items (hat, poncho and so on), that did not work either.

On the plus side, with all that I definitely did feel the peril of being just a naked dude in the water ;).

Cool game concept. Definitely can grow into something more.
