Use of the limitation
If the waves spit you out to close to shore and you touch the rocks its game over, if a shark catches you while you are swimming it is game over.
Cookies eaten
No cookies but I think I had 3 popsicles over the course of the 72 hours (It's really hot over here)
How was your experience with Mini Jam?
I had a lot of fun. This was the first game I've ever completed and the first game jam I've ever participated in. I really look forward to to participating again in the future!

Hello, I played your game and enjoyed it, but I think it should be more clear where the shark will attack.
Hope that you can add a sound effects. The game is cool. Keep up the good work!
Fun and creative concept! I think the only thing I would change is have a bit of a warning before the shark shows up so the player has a chance to dodge. Nice job overall!
This was fun! It's awesome for your first game jam, I love the art!! :D I was a little confused about the mechanics at first but I got the hang of the wave-riding thing eventually. This is really cool!!
Fun little game for what it is. Hitting the wave just right feels so satisfying. Great job!
The idea of riding waves is very original, it feels like a racing game where you have something that passes from winning points to killing in a critical moment. You should add sounds, it’s a very little effort and it adds a LOT to any game. Also some beach music would be great. Congratulations for completing the game! Keep it up, do more jams you’ll improve a lot.
I feel like it's a bit random if I get yeeted into the rocks or eaten by a shark, but the idea is solid, I think it could be something if given more time!
As is, it's impressive that these effects were made in under 3 days. I wish it was more clear as to where the sharks would appear. Or perhaps, since everything dies in one hit, there could be a way to fight back against the sharks. An end goal after reaching a certain amounts of points would also work greatly. I'd love to see what other games you can make.
Not a terrible start for a first time, I see some potential here!
As for the submission, it was pretty alright for a jam project, but I'd like to see where the sharks are before they pop up.
Good job finishing your first game! Even better, in a jam! Maybe haha. I like the concept you came up with and I think you've given it a lot of thought. The waves are kind of confusing since I always roll around whenever I get hit by them. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right but my score seems to be increasing, so I guess I am. I think the game idea has potential and if you ask me, I'd add more SHARKS! Good luck with the jam!
The game was great. I think the sharks could be highlighted. Good luck with the jam.
