is there a winning rescue number im supposed to reach? i love the use of dither here!
Ridiculously cute game! Excellent art and music and very creative use for the jam's theme.
Ship felt a little confusing to control at the start, but once I got used to it, it wasn't a problem anymore.
Great job!
Love the art, and the ship feels great to control! Nice color palette too!
I do wish the game had a few more sound effects- however, I don't know if I could bear hearing the kittens being chomped due to my incompetence and poor boating skills
Poor kittens, I saved 44 of them ! I feel like it could have add some meaning if you added a deadline, like a bar that gets refilled each time you save a kitten. It could also maybe give bonuses, like enhancing vision or improving speed for a short distance? Still great work for a one-week game jam !
So cute, with the entertaining music and creature animations!
Controlling the ship was a bit confusing at first, but after some time I managed to get the hand of it and enjoy it 😁
I like the art. One problem is with the reason to play. It is not clear how to win and what time is about. It will be pretty cool game if you fix that.
Thanks for the feedback!
Yea, initially the plan was have endless waves of cat spawns as well as escalating difficulty via new creatures appearing. I also thought that having too many cats get shark-attacked would cause a fail state, similar to boat health, and the timer was to track how long you survived.
Scope changed to meet the deadline and the timer is a hold over from that.
Will see what I can get added in the weeks post-jam :)
A very well-made, clean arcade game. It's cute and has murder, what's not to love?
Really great art, and the movement was smooth sailing too! A win condition and maybe a little more depth like a boost would have been nice, but, alas, time constraints so I'm sure I'm not telling you anything new.
Really great game! I love the art and the sound design was also great.
It's really satisfying. The art style and the music made me feel relaxed. Good job!!!
What a cute arcade game !!! I loved it, saving cats is so cool
I loved how yo uused the 1-bit graphics like that, the light effect, the colors...I really enjoyed it. Well done!
really cute game! The controls feel really fluid, and the art is great!
What a great use of light & dark! steering the boat felt great & the theme with the music was really cute
