I played it for about 40 mins, trying to get on the high score list. I kept getting so close with about 700. Maybe the most fun game of all the submissions! The game loop and high score list being hard to get on got me sucked in. Nice.

Thanks! I agree the game loop is the weakest part. But by the time the water is overtaking the trees, the idea is that you'd have a raft assembled and be standing on it. I added the sharks ability to destroy/shrink the boxes later on, so maybe it's too powerful and so the raft gets destroyed too easily. And maybe the setup time before the water starts rising is too long, and it rises too slowly. These are the things I was working on when the timer ran out!
Anyway, glad you liked the aesthetic and music and stuff! The island is cool, it's a fun place to hang out :)
No worries, it's a game jam after all. I had the same issue with my game, there's still some timing stuff that I could fix with more time to make changes. For your game, I think if the enemies were simply less accurate with their gunfire it would help, also maybe they could shoot 1/2 as often, and if they had a larger hitbox so they were easier to hit. Anyway, cool game overall, nicely done.
Very cool atmosphere, I could see this being expanded in to a full game like Phasmophobia. I wish the camera lag was faster to the mouse movement, it was making me kind of motion sick. I love the core concept and the old-school 1980s game "turn and look" movement style, definitely stands out from the rest of the games
Fun game, the graphics and the theme are put together well. I wish the enemies had more path variety, or that I could detonate the bomb when I want to by pressing a key so I could save it for important moments to defend my balloon. But definitely not bad for a game made in 72 hours. Nice work. I got 12,600 points.
