Aquarius

NOTE: If running the game here in browser,  you must answer "Y" to the second trainer option "Use Space Bar as Play on tape (Y/N)?"—otherwise you can't control your ship!

Maneuver your space vessel Aquarius Kala and explore the lakes around the world and beyond.

Aquarius Kala is controlled entirely by your Commodore 1530 C2N Datassette! Press Play to dive, tap to shoot bubbles, and double tap to drop bombs.

Collect boots to recharge battery. Unlock the chests at end of each stage to spin a Bonus Game!

Algae slowly drags your ship deeper. Ship can't be controlled while it's entangled.

Gather samples of algae and take them to Proxima Centauri B. Why not build a new exo-ecosystem there?

Created for Zoo 2024 Game Dev competition.

Commodore 1530 C2N Datassette required for loading the game, controlling the game by touching and tapping the Play button, and receiving haptic feedback via the cassette motor.

(In the digital release, there is a "trainer" option for using the Space Bar instead of the Datassette Play button.)
