Nice art and a pretty original idea.

Submitted

Neat idea! I didn't quite get how to play it. I'm using the light to guide the boat and at the same time to deter monsters from eating the boats, but there were monsters also following the light instead of moving away from it, leading them directly to the boats I'm trying to protect!

The art was very nice :)

Thanks for playing, the catch with the light folowing monster is that you shoud turn off your light and it disappeers.

I love the originality and the art style. The color palette works so good with your game! The gameplay was very fun as well. Very cool entry! (I did find a spelling mistake, but that's ok! :) )

This was extremely different I enjoyed it a lot, I couldn't hear any sound though? Is this my issue or in the game.

Developer

Nope, that's just... how it is. The sounds were pretty low-prio, had a few issues that needed fixing towards the end, so we only got ships crashing into rocks and monsters eating and vanishing.

I really love the implementation of the theme in this project!

Nice graphic style. It will be nice to add audio.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, we only got 3 sounds (ship breaking and fish vanishing and eating) and even these were last minute. At first we also had some ambience, but that just sounded like... a cow from temu.

Very nice concept and cool choice of colorpalette! I like the idea very much!

Is it right that there is no sound though? 

Developer(+1)

There are sounds of fish eating and ship braking and fish vanishing and nothing else, we haven't time to add more  sounds. An also noone from us understands music theory.
