This is my entry for Mini Jam 50, themed Islands.

I've been interested in top down adventure/exploration games lately and decided to give it a shot. The game's about a pirate that must seek treasures to buy an overpriced hand sanitizer. I was having trouble picking colors so I stuck with the 4 colors in the jam banner a darker shade of blue.

This is also the second game I was able to finish alone mostly alone (working on programming, design, audio and graphics), although I've used both an idea and a character concept from my dear friend Amelia.
My biggest challenge was time management, and the choice of when to prioritize each discipline (e.g.: Should I code player movement first and then draw the player sprite or vice-versa?).

Feedback is warmly welcome!

Also thanks Kenney for his free audio pack and ichadney at freesounds.org for the great ambient sound.
