Nice idea, however I found the control a bit difficult. Even on the easiest setting i was struggling to protect surfers. Also, maybe Dropbox is not the best place for a web game, I couldn't run it from there, had to download all files and run them locally. Just a heads up, as people may find it too difficult to get it running and give up without even trying.

Nice but slightly difficult. Oh well, I'll beat it eventually

Hey, on dropbox.com, right click on your index.html file, hit 'Copy Public Link', and paste *that* as your 'Web' link instead.

It'll make it infinitely easier for people to test your game :)

Couldn't run it on Chrome. Worked on IE. If anyone else has issues starting the game, try that.

The sharks may be a bit too aggressive; best strategy ends up being idling near the beach when there's a handful of redshirts left; any further and you'll be rammed to death before you can cross a fifth of the field.

Nice idea. The graphics did their job, but some basic audio would have helped the game feel more dynamic.

Good work.

Those voices made me jump. Lol

Like nddrylliog said. Please share the public link of your html file to make it easier for people to run it. :)

Nice game and great with a little story too!

The font color make the description a bit hard to read. The cocept is interesting though. :)

Interesting concept, I kind of liked the bird's eye view.

Hi. Nice idea. Graphics tricky to control and a bit small, though I see why you do that to get a big play area. Rescued all except 2 on easy. Like the rescued red surfer sound!

The idea is nice, good entry for a first Ludum Dare.

The graphics are a bit too small to see what was going on. Still, this is an interesting game. The audio is weird, but humorous. This is a good entry.
