It's Hard To Shipstart!
Note: for the optimal experience, please play this game in Firefox, as Chromium makes the camera move slow and jittery!
You were Just Getting Started on your little journey to the sea and you thought you'd be
back by sunfall, but unfortunately your motor broke right after you lost sight of the shore. Now you need to find
all of the parts that were flung all about the ship's insides as the motor disintegrated.

"It's Hard To
Shipstart!" is a game about finding the parts of your ship's disintegrated motor in order to get going again.

Bugs
If you find bugs (which is very likely) during the active support period (at least a week after release), please report them on the Issue Tracker, so I can easily reference the report in the fixing commit messages. Before issuing a new report, search through the list of all existing reports incase someone already has reported the bug, to avoid duplicates. Duplicate reports will be closed as soon as I see them, with a comment referencing what report I deem it to be a duplicate of.
On Chromium (and Chromium-based browsers) the engine cannot handle the way I do the game camera, causing it to move very slowly and jittery. I recommend playing the game through Firefox.
If you cannot land on platforms (i.e. the running animation keeps playing and you glide and cannot jump), try zooming in or out a little (Ctrl+scroll), or just keep the jump button pressed because the speed of you falling onto the platform makes you able to land for a single tick before starting to float.
Music
The OST can be found as a playlist in the source code repo.

lol, love those janky physics xD
I rushed the game part of the game in the last two days, so I hadn’t time to polish it, especially not the player movement which I drastically changed how it works just hours before the deadline💀
