Really enjoyed your game!Great work!

edgelord 2018-08-14 11:07

Absolutely love that game! It's the game I've spend most the time so far! Well done!

edgelord 2018-08-14 11:08

But one little issue: it seems like WASD controls are not working, only the arrows keys are working in every direction

rob-white 2018-08-14 11:11

Great job on the game! I think the game is pretty well balanced. It gets more hectic at a pretty good pace. My only issue is that the wood destruction noise is a bit loud and a bit obnoxious. Only S and D work in WASD controls, would much prefer to use WASD. Good job overall!

Super fun little game, managed to stay alive for a fair amount of time ( 00:43 )will try again. Wish me luck! :D

Actually quite challenging and good fun to try and get a high score. Music and sound was good, but definitely on the loud side!! (dw I won't rate you down for that). Nice graphics and very impressive for a first game.

this is my favorite game so far in this jam. the music and graphics are good, the game is fair by showing you where the raft will get damaged, it's a nice balance of challenge and luck, and hits the theme perfectly, and i really like the idea. and the fact that this is your first game makes it even better. my first game was way too hard. noone could defeat the first enemy, but the difficulty on this game is perfect! well done!

anstabo 2018-08-14 11:15

I felt like the game would benefit from being free movement instead of grid. The shark looks dangerous !

shawalla 2018-08-14 11:16

Really nice graphics and soundtrack. It seems quite polished and the inevetability is nice.

This game is unreal. I love it. Highly addictive! Sfx is nice as well and the adrenaline you experience when you're down to microing dodging the wave and shark and repairing the last 5 plank is just wow. I'd give it a perfect score of 5/7.

Great idea and great execution. The controls handle well and the pacing of the gameplay is superb. Well done!

corbak 2018-08-14 18:34

Nice little game, cute and adorable :) I mean the shark is. Also it is easily a quick game. So it plays rather smoothly

jsmcag 2018-08-14 19:03

This game is downright unforgiving! Very easy to get overwhelmed and mess up!

The idea is really cool, and it works great. Due to its unforgiveness, it really made me feel like I was constantly running out of space.

Graphically the game is good, but what makes it really stand out is the music and sound effects, as both are pretty great!

bismark 2018-08-14 20:24

Gameplay completly right in the theme.

mashas 2018-08-14 20:49

A very fun game and a perfect fit for the theme! Everything works together to achieve the goal; Gfx/sfx and gameplay. This is how you do it!

remco-games 2018-08-14 21:36

Hey great game! Reminds me of something I used to play when I was a kid, job well done!

batlordz 2018-08-14 21:43

Thank you everyone for playing our game! We really appreciate your comments and feedback :D

howard-duong 2018-08-15 00:53

Nice job! I really enjoy this game and had a lot of fun. I like how you can rebuild your own raft to survive longer. Overall I think this game fit the theme very well and the art look super great!

jared-york 2018-08-15 03:14

Great first LD game! I really enjoyed it. My high score is 35 (is that good?) Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing more games from you @batlordz

awix 2018-08-15 06:05

Good Gaming Idea, Music needs to be improved Graphics good

bungalow 2018-08-15 07:28

Was this in any way inspired by the game "Raft"? It really seems like it. Either way the gameplay is fun and quick to learn. Great job!

borjan1peovski 2018-08-15 15:33

Great first game. I see me and you had a very similar idea. To be honest, I think yours was executed better. The artwork is nice along with the music. Overall a solid entry.

I don't normally post links to my game in reviews but since ours is so similar i think you'd like to check out mine: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/shark-barrage

superqgs 2018-08-16 00:03

Reminds me of "The Raft". Great artwork, and I love how you don't really even get off shore that far lol.

gonzalol 2018-08-16 15:47

Very fun game. It's quite addictive. With some work it could be a really great app. My suggestion: a 'Best Score' counter to challenge yourself

miracl 2018-08-16 21:30

It's a good simple game, good work

nookington 2018-08-16 22:51

A nice simple, yet ruthless game that actually does reward careful planning somewhat as you get farther along. Nice work.

batlordz 2018-08-17 19:31

Thanks for all your feedback. It’s awesome to read all of your comments :).

@edgelord and @rob-white ! Thank you four your comment. Indeed, the game is AZERTY keyboard compatible. We have to correct this in a future update. Yes, we have to manage all the sound part too.

@anstabo I think that it will be even more difficult ! No ?

@jared-york score 35 is good. Our personal record is 92 !

@bungalow We didn’t know Raft before ! We were looking for a moving and destructible environment and the raft came to our mind.

@gonzalol Yes it’s one of the feature we’ll add in a future update !

minibobbo 2018-08-17 23:55

I was able to get to 45 meters. I liked the simple concept and the execution. Great job for your first time!

There isn't a lot specifically that I wanted to leave comments on. This game had a lot of charm and worked really well. Those are some powerful waves or waterspouts or whatever!

Sound and music fit the theme well. Good job!

seizethedia 2018-08-18 13:30

That was coool! Had a bunch of really fun teeth-grinding moments with this game. Sadly 32 was my highest score :P Great work

peachtreeoath 2018-08-23 05:10

Wow really challenging game! It actually requires a lot of situational awareness, like a bullet hell game almost. I thought this was extremely fun and could get to 69. Even though the concept is simple I thought this was a really innovative time management game with franticness to the max. Tbh I wanted to play more but my finger started getting tired from all the clicking lol. Great job, first 5 star for Fun I've given.
