A downloadable game for Windows

Adapt, Sail, Rebuild.

The northern coast of Java has been transformed into a sunken world due to climate change. Surviving communities now float above the water, working hand-in-hand together and rebuild with the remnants of the past. You are a lone sailor, navigating this solarpunk world with a dream to restore the Great Array — not to speak to the stars, but to catch the sun.

Banyu offers a laid-back sailing experience across the serene, fractured waters of Majakarta. Collect resources, support local communities, and navigate a world that has chosen to adapt rather than retreat.



There’s no combat nor enemies — only the challenge of helping settlements thrive and reclaiming a future together.



Your dream isn’t to restore the old ways, but to retrofit a relic of the past. Embark on the journey to retrofit the Great Array into a community-built solar-catcher flower.

Made for Day Zero Games: Solarpunk Jam 2025


Hey there! We hope you enjoy what we managed to cram into the game in under two weeks! Due to the short timeframe and limited testing on the final build, some features working in the engine (like the broken trading system – a glimpse of our non-capitalist barter vision) might not function properly. You might also find some rough edges (UI!) and bugs. But after a lot of late nights and coffee, we're still happy with it. Enjoy

Addendum: You'll find two downloadable builds below. One is the initial submitted version before the original deadline, and the other was uploaded shortly after.

Please note:
Extended time build solely addresses the broken trading system. All other aspects of the game remain as they were in the initial build.

Known Issues in Extended time build:
- Camera are too sensitive

-Restoration sites are currently bugged

-Traded resource UI won't update until you gathered items from scavenge sites.

Patched build aims to address some of the issues, but turns out some issues run deeper than we expected:

The Patched build has solved some of the issues:
- Camera sensitivities are now adjusted - it's due to our programmer using low DPI mouse.

- Restoration sites are now working as expected.

- Traded resource UI will now update - but first trade will still get bugged, we're investigating on why this still happening.

Dah nyobain, keliatan inspired dari Dredge sepertinya, dan somehow Terra Nil atau Spilled XD...

Feedback:
- gerakan cameranya bikin puyeng @.@, terlalu sensitif keknya
- upgradenya ga ada tandanya kita dah upgrade berapa kali :')
- inventorynya bingung definisi fullnya apaan :')
- pas beli dari trader, somehow ui inventorynya ga update, musti gather barang dulu baru update
- itu yang icon kuning, yang minta resource, not sure pas ngasih resource ga terjadi apa2, jadi bingung harus ngapain
- mini game nya somehow barnya ga akurat? kadang2 kelihatan bener tapi dianggap salah, dan sebaliknya

makasih udh playtesting, kita kemaren build mepet deadline jadi ga sempat playtesting wkwkw - somehow banyak yg work in engine but broken in build. Fokus di patch baru benerin trading karena di upload pertama malah ga jalan blas - so yeah take it as proof as concept atm, icon kuning yg minta resource harusnya restoration site - berubah jadi populated site cuma ga jalan belum nemu kenapa - bakal ada massive post jam patch in few days hehe

Oalah sep2 XD...
