Basically you lob shells at fish and stuff. You start out at 0 points for each target, try to get as many hits as possible before the time runs out!
Controls: Up Arrow, Down Arrow, Space Bar

Good game, but I think shooting should be faster and the timer shorter, maybe 50 instead of 200.

It is definitely a challenging game, for what it's worth. Between the amount of time it takes for the cannot to fire and the speed of the targets, I found it was mostly luck when I hit something.

I feel like it only fits the theme in name only. Pretty much every game with a point system has you start with 0 points.

Congrats on your first Ludum Dare! I found it a bit difficult to aim, you should definitely write out the controls on this page somewhere, though I eventually figured it out.

Great Game! I found aiming a bit confusing at the beginning but soon figured it out. I think the challenge to aim makes hitting the target surprisingly rewarding. My advice would be to add more apparent animation/art for the cannon as it did not quite stand out to me.

Fun little game. It reminded me of the old Scorched Earth / Gorillas type games.

I like how you've made a game using DOM elements. The text in the corner combined with the simple shapes really gives it this retro game feel. I like how the water changes the movement of the canonball, which you need keep in mind when shooting at the creatures in the sea. Nice first LD game!
