A stealth and anti-stealth arcade game, in which you play an intern at the tourism board of Loch Ness masquerading as Nessie in order to entice the tourists!
This is my first ever game jam! Please don't hurt me!
Nice game! I found it a bit unforgiving initially (not much space between the distance at which boats can see you at all and the distance at which they rumble you) but it was very fun once I got the hang of it. The difficulty ramps up nicely as you get more ships of different speeds, requiring a pleasing level of ingenuity to score them all. I liked the music too. Overall I found myself smiling a lot while playing this game.
Thanks for the comments everyone! Glad you've been enjoying it!
As everyone's said, it's quite hard -- a result of me playtesting it too much and thus being too good at it, no doubt :)
Here are a couple of tips:
- If you're trying to catch a fast boat, try to run away from it slightly slower than it's going -- then when they've spotted you, you can duck down under water straight away - You don't have to stick Nessie's entire neck out of water, just the top of the head works and allows you to escape more quickly - Don't loiter at the sides of the Loch for too long, otherwise you'll get spawn'd by a new boat / new sub
Funny game. Quite addictive and hard. I didn't manage to get 100%, I got 90% but no more. Bad thing is about graphics. The hero, toursits and submarines are ok but the water, the ground and the trees are ugly :(. A little animation when the hero moves would have been a plus.
I love the way you handled the theme. It fit exactly to what I expect of a themed game.
hahaha this is one of the funniest entries that I have played. Excellent concept and great interpretation of the theme. It is kind of hard, but is good to be challenging. My best is 65%, so far. Good work! :D

I was not able to go over 20% but well. Maybe I am just not born to be a sea monster... xD
Keep up the good work!
