We are a team of two brothers who are participating for the first time in Ludum Dare. We hope you’ll enjoy our very first game!
About the game :
You are a pirate and your crew left you alone on a desert island. After 365 days, you are ready to go to sea with a raft you’ve built. But the sea is dangerous and the sharks are hungry !
Don’t forget to repair your raft or you’ll be their meal !
Great job on the game! I think the game is pretty well balanced. It gets more hectic at a pretty good pace. My only issue is that the wood destruction noise is a bit loud and a bit obnoxious. Only S and D work in WASD controls, would much prefer to use WASD. Good job overall!
Actually quite challenging and good fun to try and get a high score. Music and sound was good, but definitely on the loud side!! (dw I won't rate you down for that). Nice graphics and very impressive for a first game.
this is my favorite game so far in this jam. the music and graphics are good, the game is fair by showing you where the raft will get damaged, it's a nice balance of challenge and luck, and hits the theme perfectly, and i really like the idea. and the fact that this is your first game makes it even better. my first game was way too hard. noone could defeat the first enemy, but the difficulty on this game is perfect! well done!
This game is unreal. I love it. Highly addictive! Sfx is nice as well and the adrenaline you experience when you're down to microing dodging the wave and shark and repairing the last 5 plank is just wow. I'd give it a perfect score of 5/7.
Nice job! I really enjoy this game and had a lot of fun. I like how you can rebuild your own raft to survive longer. Overall I think this game fit the theme very well and the art look super great!
Great first LD game! I really enjoyed it. My high score is 35 (is that good?) Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing more games from you @batlordz
Great first game. I see me and you had a very similar idea. To be honest, I think yours was executed better. The artwork is nice along with the music. Overall a solid entry.
Thanks for all your feedback. It’s awesome to read all of your comments :).
@edgelord and @rob-white ! Thank you four your comment. Indeed, the game is AZERTY keyboard compatible. We have to correct this in a future update. Yes, we have to manage all the sound part too.
@anstabo I think that it will be even more difficult ! No ?
@jared-york score 35 is good. Our personal record is 92 !
@bungalow We didn’t know Raft before ! We were looking for a moving and destructible environment and the raft came to our mind.
@gonzalol Yes it’s one of the feature we’ll add in a future update !
I was able to get to 45 meters. I liked the simple concept and the execution. Great job for your first time!
There isn't a lot specifically that I wanted to leave comments on. This game had a lot of charm and worked really well. Those are some powerful waves or waterspouts or whatever!
Wow really challenging game! It actually requires a lot of situational awareness, like a bullet hell game almost. I thought this was extremely fun and could get to 69. Even though the concept is simple I thought this was a really innovative time management game with franticness to the max. Tbh I wanted to play more but my finger started getting tired from all the clicking lol. Great job, first 5 star for Fun I've given.

It seems quite polished and the inevetability is nice.
Also it is easily a quick game. So it plays rather smoothly
The idea is really cool, and it works great. Due to its unforgiveness, it really made me feel like I was constantly running out of space.
Graphically the game is good, but what makes it really stand out is the music and sound effects, as both are pretty great!
I don't normally post links to my game in reviews but since ours is so similar i think you'd like to check out mine: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/shark-barrage
