This is pretty cool! I felt like a kid again playing in the tub! The cute kid voice was reeaaally cute!. It would be great if there were some powerups like getting extra lives or maybe a powerup that will get rid of some of the obstacles to prolong the gameplay. But overall, a good and fun interpretation of the theme.

I enjoyed the game and the sound effects! I would have liked for their to be some sort of visual when the boat collided with the bad objects vs. good objects though.

sankacoffee51 2018-08-13 23:34

Damn, so hard to stabilize the boat, nice game!

Love the voice acting, great little game to play. Addition of powerups could have been interesting and maybe a way to gain health or remove objects. Overall good entry

Very Nice! I especially liked the audio.

kalcoslinder 2018-08-14 04:05

This was especially creative and enjoyable.

This embodies the entire meaning of Ludumdare. Beautiful work.

This game is great. Super simple and had a smile on my face the entire time I was playing it. One improvement would be to see where the toys are falling, maybe just a half second before. Died a few times by one spawning directly in front without time to react.

This game is so cute! I really liked the style and the idea. If you saw where the toys will fall down (e.g. use a shadow) it would be better.

anstabo 2018-08-14 23:13

what's with the voice acting xD that's crazy man.

iokin 2018-08-14 23:23

Your game is funny. Really full mark for it!!! Simple and cute game. You will get great marks. Nice music and sounds.

cercle 2018-08-14 23:24

Very fun! Mechanics work well, really enjoyed the voice acting (especially the success sound for the divers!). Great first entry!

pinoza 2018-08-14 23:27

A good way to take advantage of the 72 hours, simple but entertaining game, I have to say that I found the voices in the game a bit strange but good job! xD

Very well developed. Music and voice was great. Gameplay was simple and fun to play. Really a cool idea for your very first entry. Wish you all the best.

Found the sounds great in this game, It felt personal like you cared for what you made and wanted to share the laughs with others, Graphics was just enough for me, Did what they needed to. The overall fun game, the Only con is that I felt a bit cheated at times when things spawned on top of me!

sebastian-m 2018-08-15 03:36

Really awesome entry. Good job on your first Ludum Dare.

The movement felt really responsive, it was nice moving the boat. I also loved the contrast between the deep army voice and the little kids voice. It gave it a really nice and funny mood. The game itself it's simple, but it works. I distracted myself playing for quite a while, until I eventually run out of space, which means it's quite fitting with the theme.

Overall, awesome job!

andrei9 2018-08-15 07:21

fun game I like it ! :-)

badabooom63 2018-08-15 10:53

Sounds are awesome! Game is quite boring on normal, but hard mode is really fun =)

rob-parker 2018-08-16 11:30

Nice game! Has a easy to pick up and play feel and runs really smoothly. The only gripe i have with it is that it would be nice if there was a shadow or something where the toys were going to fall. There was a couple of times where a toy fell on me out of nowhere and did damage.

ghostgoatsgames 2018-08-17 13:44

Unique idea. Overall I think you did a great job. My one complaint is the way death is handled. Normally, if you are going to get killed in one hit, a quick re spawn time is nice, so you can get back in the game. Getting one shot and then having to watch the boat slowly sink to the bottom combine for a very frustrating death. Overall I think you did a great job!

jharler 2018-08-17 18:41

Very nice! Even better that it's your first LD. The graphics were simple, but they worked well and the audio was very pleasant. I would have liked to see some visual indicator that your boat took damage, but other than that it was pretty straightforward. Great work!

bodom4ever 2018-08-18 00:43

Interesting use of the theme, I dig it! If I could give one recommendation it would be to invert the turn direction when you are reversing the boat. Would make it feel more like you are moving in reverse. Overall though I had fun with this!

nam-nguyen 2018-08-27 19:07

Got 20 points in my best run, other times just died because the army guy fell inside a bunch of obstacles and I cant get him (I would appreciate a boost that keeps me invincible for x seconds towards the end-game though). Music and voice over are great. The floaty effect of the water is very nice, Im actually gonna look at the source project to see how you did that haha. The controls feel pretty responsive and not at all finicky like I expected from a 3D game, kudos for that. The slowing down of the ship feels great and I was able to do refined movement, but I wish the speeding up has some momentum building up too. Now the ship's speed increases to max speed instantly it seems, which doesnt quite match up with how the ship slows down. Some more particle effects could be added to the game, and maybe a global leader board? Great entry, good job!

Cool, cute and funny game. The objects that drop seem a bit random. Maybe when they drop, cast a shadow onto the water so that the player has time to move out of the way.

iluvatar 2018-08-28 17:54

Man, that was fun as hell. I assume it was your kiddo, very cute! The normal mode was very easy and the hard mode was very hard, but I enjoyed both of them. Really cool game and nice idea for a game. The gameplay was rather smooth. Good job!

bbaf 2018-08-29 19:20

Nice concept for the game. The voice-over is hilarious! I played the hard mode and I lost almost every time because of some ball which had fallen on my head. Perhaps it should be tweaked to reduce that kind of situations and make the game based more on the player's skill.

Anyway, I had a very fun time playing it. Nice entry!

gil4 2018-08-31 14:25

Awesome job! I'm not a fan of 3D games normally, but I've enjoyed this one thoroughly - it was funny, looked and sounded nice, controls felt very responsive - out of curiosity I even played around to get upside down, reversed controls and looking at everything from underwater was hilarious. :D Special props for the voiceover, haha. Well done and thanks for the game!

Hey everyone, just wanted to take a minute and thank everyone for playing and rating, all your comments were greatly appreciated.

To address a few of the issues, the objects falling on peoples heads - my partner in this project wanted an indicator to where the objects were going to drop, I found it funnier when it fell on you out of nowhere. So I am to be blamed for that xD

As for gaining lives, Originally we had it so you could gain a life once 10 army men had been picked up, however my partner was not a fan of that idea so we took that out.

Once again, thank you for the comments, I am glad we chose to participate in this jam.
