For some reason the boat animation made me laugh. Good job with this game.
Difficult game, but incredibly intuitive and the controls feel great.
ha this game felt pretty smooth, i enjoyed throwing my spear at these sharksss
Very nice game. Theres more to it than meets the eye, the control of the boat and spear are not the simple approach you might expect.
this game is really hard! its done well though. nice work!
Simple and polished, well done. Love the punchy sound effects!
This game feels great. It was a joy to play! I speared three sharks at once!
It's got some nice graphics and sounds! The aiming mechanic gives it an awesome gameplay, and the spear gives it some extra points on humor!
19150. Super simple concept that was surprisingly addicting. Spearing 4 sharks at once was one of the most rewarding things I've done all night. Thanks!
Nice work! I got 4250. I love the way the boat moves clumsily, like a boat would.
Nice job! Perhaps another spear or two! While the waves are nice, I don't know if they really can be use in lou (get it?) of music. Great job!
18700, thanks to a lucky spear of a stack of sharks. Great mechanics in here. The slosh-y aiming feels just about right.
Nice entry! The gameplay is solid, I really liked the way the crosshair wobble when you move, nice way to enforce strategy. It's addictive, though I'm not very good (my highscore for now is 8000).
Did you use any game engine?
@Marcos Rodrigues: I used my own JS/HTML5 game framework called Combo. It's not released yet, and I plan on selling it.
If you're into JS gamedev, send me your email and I'll hook you up with a key for free when a beta is ready. :)
Good gameplay, making combo was really rewarding, I managed to make a shark/fish combo (wich could be rewarded differantly bu the way). Anyway keep it up :)
Simple, effective and fun! I liked the aiming/movement link up.
Love this entry - the movement was really smooth, and the animation was goofy. Wish I could aim and shoot through fish though.
@01010111 -- Not sure what you mean; you _can_ aim and shoot through fish. Do you mean hit all the ones in the line the spear follows?
Just scored 300,000+ points. The secret was landing 2 10xShark spear combos, and another 9xShark combo... heh. The game's a little too "easy" to play indefinitely, actually. No real difficulty ramp-up. Maybe I'll do that for the post-compo version..
Digging the simplistic graphical style and the animations are cool. The sense of everything wobbling about is a really nice touch.
Sweet little game! Getting a double catch is so satisfying. I love the simple graphics too.
Feels very polished for such a short time. Love that your aim gets more and more erratic the further out from the boat you throw. Floating feels relaxing.
I loved how movement made my aim wobble across the whole screen. :p Great work.
