Oh S**T! A Shark! by darkflamejam

[raw]
made by darkflamejam for LD29 (COMPO)
This entry was created whilst supervising students the of Southampton Solent University participating.

Approx 13 hours was used to make this, created using cocos2dx v2.1.5 (C++)


Goal
Keep at least half the swimmers alive for as long as possible by keeping the shark on the island.

Controls
You control the island! Not the shark... I seem to be good natured, maybe in the future I'll make you control the shark!

Android: Move the island by tilting the device

Windows: Use the arrow keys to simulate the accelerometer

Should have improved the controls and balancing.

Cool game, sometimes I can't get more than 1 keypress to be registered, but it's fun still

Funny that you chose to be the island instead of the shark for example, intresting concept.

Good use of the accelerometer on Android

Yep The island not the shark, I was wondering why the shark was not responding... I wanted to eat everybody !

Fun little game, good idea but could do with a few more game-play elements to keep it interesting. Good job!

Cool idea, response felt a little slow on android.

The accelerometer control with Android is really fun!

Simple but fun gameplay. Looking forward to the shark control thing, I'd love to play a 1on1 multiplayer match. :)

Interesting idea, although it didn't have a lot of gameplay elements in it. I would check out an expanded version of this!

Cool game, I don't own an android thingy but it seems to be even funnier.

Thanks for the feedback!
I hadn't thought about a 1on1 match or controlling the shark! I'll implement some of your requests and release on google play when things calm down (along with some proper artwork!).
