Ben Eath the Surf Ace by lord
Websocket-based, multiplayer, motion-controlled, shark-frenzy, top-down action game. Control your shark with your phone to eat surfers and boats before facing the notorious shark hater, Ben Eath. Watch for the nets shot by boats, and Ben's spinning surfboard attack! If your score drops below 0, you sink to the bottom of the ocean and lose.

Aw man! I really, really wanted to play this since it's the cleverest implementation of the theme I've seen so far and the graphics look amazing, but without a smartphone I'm going to have to pass : /
Why no singleplayer?
I appreciate the idea and effort though. :) The blonde surfer reminds me of the Dude in Big Lebowski.
Can it be that you can control one of the sharks with the keyboard, just vertically flipped? ;)
Ludum dare are great to try some stuff like that! Great job!
I love to see that kind of stuff on game jams.
It took me a looooong while to load the controller, but it was worth it.
Kudos!
was a bit confused first because I held my iPhone in the wrong landscape apparently, so controls were inverted
would have been cool if it did work though :)
