I like the loop and art, though it's definitely too hard and you move WAY too slowly. Its a bit confusing. Gave it a fair shot but after barely getting through round 1 after like 15 minutes of trying I gave up. A lot of it is really good though and it has potential with some tweaking. I think the ship + mining mechanic was enough for this gamejam and it could have done without the lighthouse stuff.

yeah I didn’t get much time to test or balance things b/c I took so long getting the mechanics together trying to make a game haha.
I had way more plans for this game b/c normally I’ve done 2-3 day game jams and never did a week long one, but forgetting that a week long doesn’t mean a week long of game dev due to a job haha.
I wanted to add a thing where you can fish under water for treasures. And I wanted to add buoys that could have things like a lightning rod to strike the enemies attacking the lighthouse and such. Keeping the scope of the game limited would have helped a lot I agree. thanks for playing
