Ishmael takes place on a small island, one that's getting smaller because of relentless whale attacks. Nobody knows what is setting the whales off, but they're eating the island piece by piece. You've set up a defense cannon, and you're trying to stop the whales before they eat every last bit of land. Yes, your space is limited! [obligatory theme mention].

On touchscreens, it is playable but doesn't work perfectly due to mouse tracking issues.

Control the cannon with your mouse. You can buy island improvements between levels. There are six levels total.

Ishmael was written in JavaScript using the CraftyJS game library. Art was mostly PowerPoint and GIMP with some Paint3D thrown in. A little bit of music using NoteFlight, but most sounds were from my mouth recorded and processed with GoldWave Audio. The cool font is Enemy Sub by ZapatoPI. The other font is Tahoma.

Post-submission Bug Fix
*Moby wouldn't come back after leaving the screen on level 6. 2 lines added to fix this issue.*
