How does your game fit the theme?
There can't be too many lighthouses on at the same time to guide the boats so the situation gets easily out of control.

Really nice concept! But It's impossible at times to react to the appearing next to the lighthouse boat! Think about marking screen part where boat is going to appear or increase the FOV of the camera :)
Really beautiful job with the art in this one. Sometimes boats crashed into turned on light houses or just sank after already passing the area of danger. Also I think if the ships were a little slower it would feel fairer when a new ship heads straight against the rocks. But overall still well done!

It would help a lot if you would rate my game as well, it's my first ever so would really appreciate the feedback! Thank you
I think the game is pretty and I like the gameplay, but on every play through, I would have my boat run into a lighthouse with the light on? Specifically the one on the bottom had the most issues. I also had boats that "crashed" even though they were centimeters away from the shoreline. At first I thought it was just me, but after reading comments, I guess its a common thing? I really think it would be a fun game and if you get to fixing it, I would love to play it post jam!
i really like the idea, sometimes the game is a little buggy, but it's still a lot of fun! Really nice art, I especially love the water shader :D
I love the idea and the visuals are great (I love the little loading animation !) but the boats move too quick and it's hard sometimes to redirect them, sometimes it feels that even with the good lighthouse activated, they still move into the rocks !
If you can fix those problems post-jam, this can become a really good game ! Good job !
The idea is interesting and elegant, it's just slightly tricky to play. Maybe it would work to zoom out a little so you can see earlier when the boats appear. Also is there battery on the lighthouse? or maybe only have three of them lit at the same time?
It was too fast, and sometimes i didn't know why ships went down...but it was fun :)
Boats could use a captain that is not so speed crazy, as it happened quite a lot that even if the light house is lit, the boat would still crash :/
The aesthetics are nice and idea is very good, so well done! :)
The boats move really fast, even for a point+click control. The visuals are great, but the collision physics aren't on the player's sides probably given the shallowness of an island hitting the underside of a boat as it narrowly passes. It could be fun if there was a score to help a long-term sort of goal, but the bugs should be addressed first. Neat potential, congratulations on submitting a game to the jam!
Unfortunately the game just doesn't work. Boats will often clip the edge of the island and break even with the lighthouse presumably telling them to go around it. Great artstyle, though.
I couldn't save the boats either, but if executed better it could be a fine mobile game.
Its beautiful. But I never could save a boad. I just don't get it...
