Nice take on the theme! I really like the light's dither effect.

Nice take on the theme! I really like the light's dither effect.
Its a very simple concept but I like the minimalist aesthetic a lot actually, and I can tell you spent time on the light for the lighthouse, nice job on that!
The speed at which things happen is really slow. I think it needs a pass on spawn rates, light turn speed, light extend speed, etc.
The idea seems interesting, but my time with it was limited by what looked like a bug: objects appeared outside the light circle rather than inside it:
26, with 6 crashes. Neat little game idea!
I like the lighthouse idea. The controls were intuitive and worked well for the game. The light effect was also neat, and very effective. Some crashes were completely due to my negligence. Others.... uh... ship wth were you doing?????
I learned that I definitely should not be a lighthouse operator, though 😆 Fun game!
Great idea. Hard to tell if the light was actually doing anything and the boats are really slow so it starts wondering if it started.
:) Cool game idea! In terms of actual gameplay, I felt a bit uncertain where to ideally be moving the light most of the time, unless there were clearly a couple boats in the same area. But I like the idea, and the overall systems! And the art is nice

Anyone who spots me in the lighthouse should jump overboard immediately,,,
I also experienced the bug mentioned by @noble-goose . The location where objects are drawn doesn't match the location where the light circle is being drawn, and I can't tell which of these is "correct" in terms of the actual location of the objects.
@noble-goose @3lstmsinatrenchcoat That seems a strange bug, though based on the screenshot @noble-goose sent, it's probably a shader issue? You could give playing it on another device a go, or try updating your graphics drivers.
I can also upload a Windows or Linux build if you want.
Nice idea. It sometimes looked like a ship was still going hit a rock as they tend to cut it quite close. I would have liked a progress bar for the refuel button.
I should *not* be in charge of light houses, it turns out.
