OceanCraft Update 0.7x – Land in sight

We are finally bringing you the update everybody expected and was waiting for the most – Islands.

Maps

Collect bottle messages out of the ocean, to find treasure maps to hidden island. Navigate the sea with the help of your compass and direct your OceanCraft by manipulating the sail. Be ready for what you find, once you have reached the X on your map.

Crane and Anchor

All islands in the world of OceanCraft have sunken to the ocean floor, and it is your task to find them and pull them up into the air again. Once you have reached an island, stop you OceanCraft by releasing the anchor. Then you can use a crane, to pull them up.

Islands

The islands you will find are full of riches. Get a pause from fish and potatoes and bite into a rich juicy orange, kiwi or coconut. Try your luck at fishing the new fish out of ponds on the island. Or carefully search for the crafting resources you can collect. Once you have fully explored and harvested the island, you can go back to your OceanCraft, return the island back to the ocean, pull the anchor back and set sail for your next destination. But carefully consider leaving, each island is unique and once you have released it, you won´t be able to visit it ever again.

Blender

Are you sick of always drinking the same old distilled water? We have the solution for your: smoothies. Just put whatever food you want into your brand-new blender (yes even fish). Pull the lever and in a matter of seconds you have a more or less delicious smoothie. And we haven´t even told you the best thing yet, they not only reduce your thirst, but also your hunger.
