Great first game. It's fun. The title art is neat.

kivlor18 Apr 2016, 22:13

The game mechanic sat well with the theme. The sound when successful though is making my ears ring...

Man, I have like 2 FPS in this game :(

Took me a second to figure out what to do, but a good game overall.

Fun game, the tune matches the underwater mood nicely, and I like the graphics style! Good game!

Good work. What's not to love with upside down sharks.

very nice man, simple, but a complete finish on every category, something I don't see in some games out here

Great graphics! Loved it tremendously!

Very simple, and that's a good thing!

Congrats, awesome first effort!

Congrats for finishing your first game! Well done! I found it deceptively simple at first, and then it gets really challenging as more humans and shark appeared faster.

Simple and fun to play! Congratulations on your first game!

MalyTimi20 Apr 2016, 14:51

it's matches with last LD (34)- 2 button control :D
BTW Cool idea

Congratulations for this entry! Good game, altough i think you could increment some more challenges to give some more diversity to gameplay! But nice game, anyways!

Funny little game :) At first I thought it wasn't too challenging but I was wrong when it started going faster ^^' My highest score is 28! You did a fine job, congrats!

Sweet game you made there, especially for a first one. Runs super smoothly for me which is rare for a first ever WebGL port (bonus points for that). I enjoyed it a lot and you managed to do an at least decent work in each category ! I especially loved the soundtrack and some assets were really eye-candy. It was also pretty fun to play and features a exponential difficulty curve which is what I love as both a gamer and a designer, my highscore is 31. Wish my first ever game was that good, welcome into gamedev and Ludum Dare.
