The Shipshape [GameJam Edition]
A downloadable game for Windows
A point and click adventure game in the style of Greek shadow puppet theater, made for the $108 Adventure Game Challenge.
Play as the "Lad" who got hired as an assistant mechanic onboard a ship full of confident idiots! Help lad fix problems and as he slowly finds confidence in his own abilities.
Notes:
This game is our first venture into programming with Unity/PowerQuest, as well as exploring this genre and art style. A creative experiment rather than a full-fledged game. Perfect for a game jam (or so we thought). We poured our hearts into the project during the jam, all while juggling our day jobs.
So if you encounter any bugs or issues (there may be a few), please bear with us!
Will be updating the game after the Game Jam upload lock ends.

How could I have forgotten to comment your game?! Sorry for my delayed feedback!
Your game is entertaining! It felt like sitting in a theater! The story and characters are really fun. Hats off!
This was simply great! Very funny, stylish paperdoll graphics, and the audience comments cracked me up big time!
Thank you for trying it out! We're working on a short game based off of this with *better everything* :P
This was super fun and very original. The art style is great, and for some reason that long arm really made me laugh! I loved the funny comments from the audience, and the music was awesome. Excellent job!
I must admit I didn't know about Greek shadow theater so I watched a video or two about it, and I'm very glad I did 😁 because knowing what the puppets and movement should look like makes this game MUCH more awesome.
Heh thanks! We'll definitely be making a post-jam version that will be a lot more refined ;)
No more fish sandwiches? No! More fish sandwiches!
(somehow the game froze for me the first time I made the fish sandwich, when I quit and tried again it worked fine the second time)
Thanks for playing!
Yes! it's an inventory bug, I've added a note in the download section. Somehow the last item used stays on the cursor and you can use that, and if you use it, you can get the game frozen! Sorry for this! It's a one line fix but I can't upload a fix :(
You can do it Lad! xD Original and fun :D
Thank you for the play-through! <3
Glad you had fun!
The setting is quite interesting, and I found it very cool that the "audience" makes remarks about what the player is doing, very original!
I was unable to finish the game. I can't pick up the broom. The character says it's picking it up, but it doesn't go in the inventory. If I leave the kitchen and return, the broom is back there, but I still can't pick it up.
Feels like a bug. If it isn't, let me know and I'll try to make progress some other way. If there is a happy path in that puzzle to avoid the broom issue, let me know too, I'd still love to finish the game.
Hi, thank you for playing our game !
Unfortunately the broom was ment to be part of the last puzzle but we didn’t have the time to use it!
Please ignore the broom 🧹 and you can finish it 🙂🙏
Thanks! There was indeed a better tool for the job 😁 I finished the game, and it fits the theme very well, and the puppet theater was very original. Congrats!!
Thank you for playing! Can't wait to play your submission!
Quick question, did you save and load your game? I'm curious, we haven't had the time to test that!
Thanks again!
Hi! When I had the broom issue I forgot to save, so then I had to play from the beginning, but in the second run I did save and load and it worked well for me. I loaded again just now and it worked. Even the "continue" button in the main menu is working, although it seems to be grayed out, but it does the right thing.
Awesome thank you! I have to play your game myself, I watched Summer play it so I've been spoiled but still! <3
