Shark Storm - Nom Nom Nom by doomshmuck

[raw]
made by doomshmuck for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

Swim for your life! The sharks are out to get you, and all you have are your abnormally strong limbs. But what's this? What are all of these Spring Breakers doing out on the water??? Rescue as many as you can while trying not to get eaten yourself.

Controls: W, A, S, D, or arrow keys - Move Space bar - Lay down a decoy bomb if you have one. Touching a shark will kill you. Touching an active explosion will kill you. Touching a rock will stun you (then probably kill you, via shark). Touch the spring breakers to rescue them. Last as long as you can, save as many as you can, and most importantly, keep it alive!

Nomnomnom. Your game is simple, easy to understands, and works well. And sound FX made me laugh. Some kind of high score could be a nice addition.

A simple idea well executed. Spent way more time playing it than I expected. Has more gameplay variety than I expected from an LD game as well. Great job!

Very playable little game. I liked it. I'm not sure why the shark wave wouldn't go for the free food though. A little tough when that mine field appears (not sure what you call it). Good entry overall.

Ah such a good idea! The simple graphics and sound effects (lmao) really pair nicely with the gameplay. I really enjoyed playing it!

At first I was "There is no sound... meh" and then I was "NOM NOM NOM!!!!". I'm a fan of this kind of sound effects. With more of them it would have even more interesting. Your game is easy to play and understand. It's my current favorite.

I loved your sound effects. Really funny. I found it pretty hard to save the swimmers because they would spawn practically on top of a shark at the edge of the screen.

Hi!! Great job!! I like the game :D I would like it has a background music loop but I think it's the only con it has.
Congratulations for your job!

Nice and simple but well executed idea. Hilarious sound effects :)

Not too hard, not too easy. Well done!

Sound effects are top notch! They made everything hilarious. When I hit a rock I wasn't upset, I was laughing! I thought the sharks would go towards the free food when I placed it but that didn't seem to be the case. I couldn't figure out what the icon for the other power up was. Having clear icons and visuals for these game jam games goes a long way. For instance, for bombs, having the round black ball with a fuse lets us instantly tell that it'll explode.
