How does your game fit the theme?
You are actively dragging ships down, forcing them to dive deeper !
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, save for the game's background music, which was partially generated by AI and updated by me. I also used 7 pre-existing pirate themed sound-bits and adapted code to make them seamlessly play in a loop (and stay on pitch).

Woo I made it onto the leaderboard!! This was a fun game and the burping and the noms was hilarious definately had fun!!
I quite enjoyed the game! the artwork was cool and I really liked the take you gave on the concept, it wasn't super clear at first what the fish and exploding barrel did, but I quite enjoyed the simplicity, good job!
Nice game, and it actually made me laugh a bit on the start - I wasn’t expecting these sounds at all, they fit so well. Good feedback (though it definitely could be better). Art is nice as well. Gameplay is fun. I think theme using here is a bit stretched (still better than my game that does not fit the theme at all).
Hey there ! Thanks for playing ^-^ Yeah the theme might be a bit off, at the initial design stage the intention was to really drag the tentacle all the way to the bottom of the ocean, but that didn't work out with the progress I was making. Game jams is all about scope definition and the "vertical slice"... or "least viable product" turned out to be this ! And that's (in my opinion) still relevant to the theme ^-^ Thank you so much !
Guys? I just got word the leaderboard was effectively out, but it should be back now. Sorry for that ! If you have a screenshot of your code I'm more than willing to manually put it in ^-^ Just let me know ! For the people that missed out... I'm adding a screenshot just so you guys get a look at what it SHOULD have looked like (Special thanks to my wonderful kids, FristiBoio and MR.T for this screenshot) ^-^
I enjoyed this game way more than I thought I would haha
Just smacking ships is a unique take on the theme and I love it! I wish I could smack more at once with a charged attack or something. Otherwise fun game and I like the music haha c:
Holy moly... that is SUCH a good idea ! A charged "swat" that hits multiple ships... dang if only I've read this 24 hours ago XD
I got a score of 33500, arcade games are always a fun time. The game had a great feel to it and was quite unique for a game based in the ocean with this theme. Enjoyed it a lot!
Thank you so much for playing ! Glad you liked it ! :) I had tons of fun with this one, might not be the cleanest code, but it works nicely !
yeah same my code is a mess, but that's the way of game jams I imagine always time to polish it up later!
Honestly, this has been the best game I have played so far. It's so unique in its game mechanics and style. I loved the art, sound design and overall feel when playing the game. The only critique I have is that the leaderboard never loaded and threw up an error once I pressed submit but other than that, this game was very very well made. Good job!! :)
Thank you so much ! Maybe this is a very deep request, but did you get a look at what the error was? I could manually put your score in as well if you'd like me to :) It worked for me just now so I can't really test it like this... But either way thank you for playing !
Nono, it's fine. It was probably an error on my end lolol
Turns out it wasn't you !!!! It should be back now but I'm still very glad you liked the game ^-^
Very fun, great authentic art style! Really wish we could use the second tentacle.
You CAN use the second tentacle, it's the right mouse button ! :D
Oooooh, thats awesome!
Fun game. Nice job! I loved the sprites you made for the player and the ships!
Thank you so much for playing. The tentacles were very hard to get right (they're actually a line renderer), but I'm happy with what it turned out like in the end ^-^
Really fun game, the physics of the water are really cool, and it's different from other games. The graphics where also really good.
I love the physics, they took me a while to get right and have the ships "stick" to it. Thank you very much for playing !
Great game, it feels really complete with the audio, graphics. I would try to fit it more with the theme though it doesn't really feel like you are dragging the ships deeper, feels more like you are smashing it.
Best game graphics I've seen in this jam so far!
The game was pretty fun to play, I don't know about that pixelated texture in the background of the playing arena but the game still looked great and the sfx were pretty nice.
Also I don't know what happened with my score and why it's so high :V
Hey Mentel ! Thank you for playing :) I might have accidently scaled up the background texture too far, but it's not really game breaking so in the spirit of the jam I won't change it in the web build. I hope it's still fine ! Either way, hope you enjoyed ^-^
not to worry I'm just pointing out some shit out that you could use as feedback for the next time you're jamming
Your water splash effect is so super smart !
Good game, nice sound effects nom nom nom 😋
Thank you so much for playing ! Personally, the waterline effect is my favorite part ^-^ it feels very springy. And yeah the nomnomnom seems popular, to the point people told me to change my handle to "ThatNomNomGuy" :p
The art is fantastic! Really impressive you made that in 1 week.
Hey @530Games ! Thank you so much. I worked on it on stream (twitch.tv/javasaurusx) in the evenings, had work during the day ^-^ It was a toughy, that's for sure , but I'm so glad we made it!
Very cut and fun game. I loved the audio!
Thank you so much for playing !
Just loved the art and sound design! It goes so well with the game! Had lots of fun playing it! Congratulations on your submission!
Thank you very much for playing, glad you've liked it !!!
Hah, realy nice game. Love the tentacles mechanics, even the water effect after you pull the ship down is amazing. Very nice!
Thank you ! It's been a hassle to get everything right, but I'm so glad it worked out in the end ! :) I personally love the explosions that blow the water up !
Very fun game! Really liked the highscore based nature of the game. Great job
Thank you so much ^-^ I was thinking for AGES how to make the game into a valid gameloop, making it a time based challenge turned out the best approach (also for the leaderboard). Thank you so much for playing !
Very satisfying gameplay. The control were very intuitive. Nice job.
Thank you so much, very glad you liked it ! It took me 2days to get the tentacles "right" :D
Very Fun Game. The Graphics were literally OUT of THIS WORLD! The Game challenges us to sue both hands for those sweet Combos, but I couldn't stop myself from going all Spam Mode. The only suggestion is to add some more levels of danger, so that we can't just spam our mouses. :D
Thank you so much for the kind review ! I'll be straight up honest... I completely had the impression I had 24 hours left to finish the game, which I had scheduled for polish and more content. I actually have sprites ready for other ships with nets etc , but then I realized submission was on sunday morning for me :p So this was the best I could do ^-^ Still very happy ! And thank you for playing !
:D
