Deadweight

DEADWEIGHT

Everything has a price.
Getting it home is another matter.

---

Off the coast of Florida, along the Bermuda Strip lies the Marrow Islands. Shipwrecks litter the surrounding ocean. You have the gear and the ship - can you make your fortune?

DEADWEIGHT is a black-and-white 1-bit salvage game made for 1-Bit Jam 15. Take your boat between ports, buy diving permits, and explore sunken ships. Find something valuable, attach a line, and work out how to get it through the wreck and into reach of your crane.

BELOW DECK

Swim through cabins, engine rooms, and cargo holds. Work stuck hatches, cut attachments, and use lift bags to move heavier loads. Keep an eye on your gas: finding the way in is only half the dive.

BACK ABOVE WATER

Bring your haul to port and put the money back into the business. Better diving equipment opens up deeper wrecks. A different engine might stretch your fuel budget. A bigger crane might finally lift the thing you left behind on previous dives.
