Monster of the Deep by noom
You are the Monster...of the Deeeeeeeep
controls:
WASD to move
Space to start game
Avoid the mines and the boats
Eat the humans
You get points for air time
Personal notes:
I'm not completely satisfied with my entry this year, I feel I did better in my last compo. However to be fair I really challenged myself this time and did absolutely no prep work. I had to build my engine from scratch and only had barebones libraries to work with.
I found it really difficult going back to javascript after spending this year learning Java, and I probably won't be using it again.
Libraries
PhysicsJS - http://wellcaffeinated.net/PhysicsJS/
I used this for the collisions and to simulate the water (there is drag and boyancy
PixiJS - http://www.pixijs.com/
This handles my rendering and the canvas (or webGL depending on browser)
RequireJS - http://requirejs.org/
I mostly use this just to help me keep structure in my code.
I also used jQuery but purely for the custom events to handle the keyboard.

and @TerraCottaFrog the spawns are on a diceroll so it can be a bit dull, a really bad method for spawning but it's all I ended up having time for.
Fun game and very beautiful art style! Congrats!
Also sound would improve the game considerably.
