About

Your name is George and you are a lighthouse keeper.

You came to work and you just realised that all clockwork mechanisms are broken. Time to do things manually...

Your mission is to guide all lost sailors to their homes.

Controls

[ d ][ f ] - rotate lightbeam towards the ships.

[ j ][ k ] - keep hitting these keys interchangeably as fast as you can (and don't stop) to keep the light on and bright (brighter light = sailors will turn ships faster).

Good luck!

I like the idea of the game it is quite simple and funny.

A problem that I found, it that some times some boats disappear.

And also I would like to see some smoke or dust particles when the boats crash, also a start and pause menu will help ^^

Cool game. Very unique idea. A bit tiring on the right hand, but that's alright I suppose. One small bug that I found is that after triggering game over, I still kept getting hit and my score lowered, also it would be nice to have a restart button.

Just not a big fan of mashing keys, the rest looks cool. If you mash enough you never run out of power, there should be a drawback, IMO!
