You find yourself stranded on a picturesque but uninhabited tropical island after a shipwreck. The island is surrounded by shark-infested waters, and your only hope of survival is to build a raft and escape to safety. Your mission is to gather resources, craft a seaworthy raft, and navigate treacherous waters filled with hungry sharks.

HOW TO PLAY

Goal

Your goal is to run away from the island in a raft you have to craft. For that, you must collect the wood pieces you'll find floating on the water, while avoiding to be eaten by the hungry sharks around.

Also, you must not forget to feed yourself during the stay at the island. Keep an eye on your hunger level and eat the coconuts falling from the palm trees. The hungrier you are, the more slowly you will move, and hence an easier prey for the sharks.

Finally, your time is limited. With every earthquake, the island sinks a few inches, so.. you better get out before being devored by the wild sea!!

Controls

• WASD, arrow keys, joypad or left analog stick to move the character around.
• CTRL, Space or joystick/joypad button 0 ("A" in Xbox style controllers, "X" in PS), to perform actions like collecting wood or crafting.
