Capsized
A downloadable game
Zainul, a successful merchant in Batavia, has long stopped sending news to his younger sister, Haliza, and their mother, Halimah, who is now old and ill. Worried about him, Haliza decides to travel to Batavia to find her brother and buy medicine for their mother.
October 1936. The magnificent Van der Wijck is fated to sink and Haliza is aboard it. Burdened by deep regret, the universe gives Zainul a second chance to change fate. Sent back to the past, he becomes the ship’s captain, he earns an unprecedented command despite the colonial barriers of the Dutch era. He must master maritime physics, balance the cargo, and face violent waves to save his sister and the people he loves aboard the Van der Wijck.
Will Zainul defy destiny, or will history repeat itself?
Capsized is a 2D physics-based puzzle and balancing simulation game with an Indonesian maritime theme. In this game, players take on the role of an inter-island cargo ship captain who must navigate challenging trade routes across various iconic ports in Indonesia, from Makassar, Buleleng, Tanjung Perak (Surabaya), to the mysterious final port.
Each journey is divided into three main gameplay phases that test your speed, dexterity, and strategy:
- Loading Phase Players must load various types of cargo onto the ship's deck within a time limit. Each cargo has different physical characteristics and challenges, such as Sacks (high friction), Crates (stackable), Barrels (rolls easily), Gamelan sets (very heavy and cannot be stacked), and even Automobiles. Players must strategically arrange the cargo layout to keep the ship perfectly balanced. There is also a limited Rope feature that can be used to tie down items and prevent them from sliding!
- Sailing Phase Once the cargo is ready, it's time to set sail! In this phase, players must use their device's gyroscope / accelerometer (tilting the phone left and right) to balance the ship in real-time and fight against the crashing ocean waves. This journey is accompanied by traditional background music authentic to the destination port (such as Anging Mamiri, Gong Kebyar, and Gambang Semarang).
- Unloading Phase Arriving at the destination port doesn't mean the job is done. Players must quickly find and tap the specific cargo on their ship that matches the requested item shown on the screen, matching them sequentially before the timer runs out.
Key Features:
- Responsive Physics Simulation: Stacked cargo features realistic mass, friction, and momentum reactions.
- Story Mode Progression: Uncover engaging visual story slides as you progress and complete each port route.
- Local Atmosphere: Enriched with visual backgrounds of the Indonesian archipelago and authentic, copyright-free traditional background music.
- Bilingual Support: Available in both Indonesian (ID) and English (EN).
