The Great Tuna Escape
The Great Tuna Escape
New build with slight improvements and fewer bugs: https://gnoxnahtedev.itch.io/reupload-pixel-game-jam-24
NOTE: There's a bug when pressing the “play again” button, just reload the page to play again. I'll upload another build after the review is over.
Overview
Play as a rare Bluefin Tuna fish escaping from a diver trying to catch you.
You'll have to navigate the trash-filled water, filled with plastic bags that'll slow you down. However, barely miss the bags and you'll earn a small boost.
You have some boost that'll help you escape from him. It'll recover slowly but the main ways to get him are to:
- Barely miss trash bags (1 boost bar)
- Barely miss the diver (3 boost bars) in these 2 ways:
- Boosting when he's close to you
- Dodging above or below him
You can also use the plastic bags to slow you down, letting him pass you, gaining some boost, and use it to zoom past him!
Here's a video of me playing and my high score. At 4:25, you can see me dodging the diver.
The difficulty slowly increases over time, increasing the diver's speed and the plastic bag count.
Controls
- Move Up - W / Up Arrow
- Move Down - D / Down Arrow
- Boost - Space / Right Arrow

Did some simple assets myself, like the tuna, bubbles, plastic bag, and waves. I'm still learning pixel art.
