OMG i never worked so hard in my life! There were some times where swimmers would spawn too far out and i'd be like "sorry dude you're just gonna have to drown, there are more convenient people to save where i'm currently at"! Too funny. Overall, great execution on a simple idea. The gameplay is easy enough to pick up, and the feedback is good (YAY vs BOO) for when i'm picking up the swimmers. I just wish there was a little diversity in the challenge, but I think you could save that for more levels for the sequel! Ha! great choice of water shader and is that MARS coming to crash into us? This is some crazy environment!
Great job, and congratulations on submitting!
thanks a ton :D
I like the game. The idea is quite unique and with some more wotk it can be turned into an interesting casual game. But it could be more challenging, maybe by adding some enemy system (like crocodiles or anything) and a global highscore system. Also it would be a lot better if the camera chased the player, because sometimes the people are really far back. Apart from that it's a really interesting concept.
thanks so much for all the feedback! (also wow I never though of putting enemies in, cool idea!)
This game is good. The art might not be the best but it is still pretty well made. I love the sound effects the most
thanks for your feedback!
This game is actually surprisingly morbid. So many people drowning, and if you don't save them in time, they die. All 'jokes' aside, this is a good game. But, as many said before me, the time is too long. I don't feel like sitting 2 minutes doing the same thing. But other than that, great game.
thanks for the feedback
how much time would you like this game to be?
Cool concept. It would have been nice to have some better art for the player and people in the water. I also think the camera could have been placed in a little bit of a better location but other than that great job!
thanks, so much. Oh btw what do you mean by 'a little bit better location' like where would you have put it
I would have put it up a little higher and angled down slightly
oh ok thanks for all the feedback!
Wow a lot of people sure like jumping in an drowning haha
I really like the gameplay! Sometimes it isn't possible to save someone on where they are, but it is usually okay. Also, like Chicken said, 2 minutes feels a little long and a shorter time would have worked better. Nice job though!
thanks, Skidface!
There’s so many people drowning at the beach lol. I liked this game. I think 2 minutes is too long and 30 seconds would be more fun. The movement is a little slow but not annoyingly so. The people were spaced out OK but sometimes they’d be really far back or spawn in or beside each other which would shoot them across the map xD or give me points automatically. Still fun though and my main complaint is that more work wasn’t put into graphics.
I rated your game, could you please rate mine :)
thanks for the feedback
