Sirens is a game where you play as sirens, trying to crash ships into rocks. Click on a Siren to make it sing, but be warned - the siren's song is short, and has a cooldown! The gold icon in the upper right lets you buy more rocks and sirens if you have enough gold & there is a valid place to put what you want to buy. Rocks can only be placed around a siren. The 200 gold rock option will fill the entire area around a siren with random rock types. You can use it even if the rocks are not all gone.
To build the game you will need SDL2, SDL2_Image, SDL2_ttf, FMOD, dmd (dlang.org), and dub (code.dlang.org). Once the dependencies are installed run "dub" in the game's directory. That will build and run the game. If you have a successful build for a platform that I have not provided, please consider sending it my way!
To run the game you will need SDL2, SDL2_Image, SDL2_ttf, and FMOD. When there is a windows build ready, dll's will be included in the game folder for your convenience.

updated the source and linux downloads to include bugfixes and more tuned difficulty, the linux download now includes the libs, but it is up to you to edit your linker search path to include the working directory - otherwise I recommend installing the libs with your distro's package manager.
Made it to the point where it was impossible for me to lose unless I just stopped playing. Perhaps increase the spawn rate of the ships as the game goes on.
Takes me back to my Greek lit classes, though I don't remember the yodeling : )
Found myself playing for far longer than I intended, and I was driven to try for the mysterious 200g purchase. Could use a bit more audio variety, but I appreciated the embedded humor. Way to survive the compo!
That was amusing, the gameplay was challenging at first, but then slowly became easier- it would have been cool to see new types of ships come in that would make things harder. The audio was hilarious, good job!
Becomes really easy once you get too many sirens! If I put a siren in any of the bottom two locations, they are at risk of immediate death due to no rocks being between them and the bottom edge of the screen.
It's quite satisfying to lure seamen to their doom with my hawt naked siren bodies. And voices. Simply irresistible.
Like a tower defense game. Build Sirens, buy rocks to destroy the ships and thus makes more money. When to sing the song is also a strategy thing. Picked by GB!
Game would be a bit more enjoyable for me without the attempt at voice acting, it's funny the first few times but then just get tired of it. Gameplay wise I think it's a nice spin on tower defense genre.
Well made game! I included it in part 16 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/aXZw1Jpw2JA
