ABOUT

The game is pretty terrible, but this is the first time I've finished something during LD. Now I know what to improve on for the next jam. :)

Made in Phaser.

The graphics could do with some improvement, and the game-play is somewhat lacking. But at least you made it. Better than 99.9995% of the globe.

Graphics are a bit rough but it plays well. I liked it, congrats on finishing, nicely done :)

I'd like a little bit more control over the left and right movement, maybe have to tap repeatedly to increase speed of movement to the side. Otherwise, congrats on finishing!

Game made me laugh, artwork is bad in a good way. Love that the player explodes when touching the net looking thing in the water. Great job!

Pretty basic, but well done. Loved the scribbly graphics!

Not a bad entry by any means. You did what many others could not: you planned and executed, resulting in a complete and playable game. Nice job!

Nice idea for the two button controls. The left/right movement felt odd for a paddling boat. I would have expected less left/right movement at the time of button press, but I understand in an arcade game you sacrifice realness for fun.

Nice and simple game following the theme nicely. Graphics could be better, but at least you finished the game ;)

For sure you are not graphic designer but anyway at least you produce something playable and that deserve a good point ! Congrats for finishing your game on time ! Nice job
