Siren Song is a browser-based action game. Sing to sailors to lull them into submission before dragging them down into the abyssal depths, while dodging their deadly cannonballs. Build up combos to summon your ally Charybdis, who brings doom upon all.
That was awesome. I'm sad I am not good enough to summon Charybdis, but man did I want to. It got a little hectic around 15 points, the cannon balls seemed unavoidable, but that didn't stop me from restarting a dozen times just to rip sailor bones out. Great graphics, great fun, and good use of humor.
That's great - very addictive. I loved the graphics - especially the siren. The crazy long shape makes it very difficult to dodge a barrage of cannonballs, but I guess that's part of the game. I would love to see a tiny bit more "physics" applied to the movement - so there was a very very short "slow down" before you turned around.
Great effort though - one of the most fun and addictive entries I've played so far.
I killed 63! Man, that summoning is sweet. Great gameplay balance, although being hit by underwater cannonballs as they sink feels cheap. You really have no place to hide when you have 20 cannonballs coming at you. Great art, awesome interpretation of the theme, rewarding gameplay, and no bugs that I saw. Great work!!!
Wow, thanks everyone for the feedback! Definitely agreed on the number of cannonballs that come at you on higher difficulties, especially as compared to your character sprite. The hitbox is actually a little smaller than you'd expect though - your tail is actually invulnerable to getting hit.
@mrspeaker - good call on the turnaround. There's a bit of inertia in turning around, but I can increase that.
@hanoth - Yes, and we even did it in 48 instead of 72. :)
Really nice idea! The use of the breath meter is pretty clever. It quickly got very difficult to dodge the cannonballs, but I had fun. A solid entry, for sure! :)
That escalated quickly! I really enjoyed this unique concept for a game. The controls were well done and eating a ship full of sailors was really satisfying xD It did feel like the difficulty ramped up really really fast, but this was really fun.
I liked this game quite a bit: clever take on the theme (you're literally beneath the ocean surface, but you're also hiding your desire to eat sailors!) The only aspect that bothered me was how BORING the siren's voice was... I don't understand how a bat sound could make sailors love you! But it's gorgeously drawn and pretty funny too.
Good game! I enjoyed all the things I had to do and the challenge level was pretty decent. I scored about 50 or so. After I managed to summon Charybus the first time, then it got way too hard to dodge the cannon balls. Cool artwork!
