In Delicious Ships! you play the part of a hungry sea monster. Get your tentacles around tasty cargo ships to fill your monster tummy. But watch out! Pirate ships are really bad for you. Don't eat those.
This is our first ever LD entry, and also the first time either of us have ever made a game! We decided to play around with PuzzleScript and had lots of fun :)
While I like the core mechanic the theming makes it a bit confusing at the beginning, as it's not super easy to understand why ships are sinking. After having got that though it's a nifty little puzzle game.
"Yeah okay I don't see the... oh you can... OH WELP" This game is fantastic. Didn't expect the gameplay to step up that much, it's awesome. Incredible work :D
Great puzzler. It took me a few minutes to figure out the rules but I got there and I had fun until the end. It all progresses nicely and you did a good job of coming up with different puzzles utilizing the simple mechanics. I would have easily kept going if there were more levels.
This is your first game? That's pretty damn cool. I always enjoy learning the mechanics of puzzles like this, and you could absolutely make more levels for it. Well done.
Nice! Very cute Kraken. I found this quite satisfying. I was always able to think about the levels and make a plan in my head, and I never felt like I was just using a guess-and-check approach.
Once note is that sometimes there was too much traversal. You probably designed the level wanting the islands to look like islands, but the result is that sometimes I have to move a lot in order to navigate to a ship. If the islands had been just one or two tiles each, rather than having rather large islands, I bet you could have made all the same levels solvable in less moves. Not a big deal, but since jogging back and forth is not really part of your puzzle, why include lots of jogging back and forth, right? ^o^//
Solid mechanics, pretty cute graphics, nice music. Though it would be nice if it looped properly and there werent any of those awkward silent moments. Could use some more challenging levels though.

REally liked the music and the overall feel. The puzzles were also nice after you got use to the mechanic.
Nice!
