You are Captain of the glorious cruise-liner the HMS Sacrifice. Suddenly your ship hits an iceberg and water is rushing into the ship! The passengers are too panicked to run to the boats. Run about your ship and encourage them to get to the boats. You'll have to go down with the ship, but you can save your passengers!img1.JPG

Hi! I really like your game, but an endless mode would be very nice.
And the lack of any audio would really help the game

27/28! :D I'll get them all, one day ...

Pros:

• It's different every time => it's more fun!

• You don't have to sacrifice others, just yourself, which is refreshing compared to the usual take on the theme.

• Simple but nice graphics.

Cons:

• I don't know if I overlooked them somewhere, but I wish control instructions were mentioned, or if you allowed using arrows! I'm personally more used to those than letters.

• Some sound effects/music would be fun, but I liked it without them anyways. :)

Its fun seeing all those people walking mhahaha At first it was confusing to understand how to move on the grid, but once understood started saving people like crazy =D congrats!

Nice concept. I like that it is procedurraly generates levels. Ledders are not intuitive - I would prefere them to be between floors. Other kind of obstacles would be cool.
I am no fond of real time gameplay, because it is pushes for speed, not for optimal solution. Water behaves a bit strange - sometimes it appears on upper floors before bottom floors. Overall nice concept.

Well done, reminds me of the old-school game Lemmings. Some levels were pretty easy, just go back and forth on each level in turn. The harder levels had water coming down from the top middle which split the ship in two.

At first I was a bit lost but then I understood and played the game until I could save no one ahah. I still didn't really understand how to get up and down but just spamming is ok :p

Cool idea! I managed to save everyone :)
Liked the pixel art drawing of the characters.
It wasn't really clear from the game why the captain has to sacrifice himself since there seemed to be more life boats after I saved everyone. Would be nice if there were exactly enough life boats for the passengers and none were left for the captain.

That was a cool idea, graphism are good.

The lack of audio is a bit weird though.

I really missed a tutorial, it's kind of confusing to get started, but taking this out is a great game !
