This game was created for the International Kids Coding Contest (IKCC). Ocean Clean-Up: Submarine Savior Objective: Your mission is to clean the polluted ocean and defeat the evil pollution boss! Save the reef and restore the ocean's beauty. Controls: Move: Use the Arrow Keys to navigate your submarine. You can use the Up and Down arrows underwater, and the Right and Left arrows while fighting the boss. Prompts will appear on screen to indicate when to use other keys. Shoot: Press the Spacebar to launch cleaning bubbles. Potion: Press the 3 key to activate the Cleansing Potion. Enemies: Plastic Waste: Avoid the floating plastic bottles and covers (bags) in the ocean. These will damage your submarine. Waste on the ocean floor is harmless. Before you fight with the boss you have to wait till the screen says FIGHT. Pollution Boss: Defeat the boss by hitting it with your cleaning bubbles. Cleansing Potion: When available, press the 3 key to activate the Cleansing Potion. The game will prompt you when the potion is available for activation. This will clear all plastic waste from the screen. Health: Submarine Health: Your submarine has a health bar. Avoid collisions with plastic waste and the boss to stay safe. Boss Health: The boss has a health bar at the top right of the screen. Hit it with bubbles to reduce its health. Winning and Losing: Win: Defeat the pollution boss to save the ocean and win the game! Lose: If your submarine's health reaches zero, or if the boss hits you directly, the game is over and you have to play from the beginning. Tips: The messages will guide you through the game, but you have to be careful! Aim your bubbles carefully to hit the boss! Every bubble that hits the boss reduces its health. Gameplay Notes: Bubble Shooting Issue: The cleaning bubbles are launched from slightly above the center of your submarine. This means that when plastic waste is very close and directly in front of you, the bubbles may sometimes miss or not hit the target correctly. To avoid this: When plastic waste is very close, briefly press the down arrow key to lower your submarine slightly before shooting. This will help ensure the bubbles hit their target.
