Shark Attack! by LittleW00D
Calamity Island is the hottest tourist destination within the islands of doom!
Why not sit back and relax on one of our many radioactive beaches, or take a swim in the tranquil shark infested ocean?

Had to abandon my original idea due to time constraints, but pretty happy with what I've achieved in less than 14 hours.

Did you do the game in 14hours? NICE WORK! I wonder what you can do in a weekend :smile:
Congrats!

Quite a quirky game. I like the idea of using momentum to destroy boats by falling on them. A bit tricky to get used to, but it's well worth it. Other than few instances where it took a while for boats to appear on the screen at all, the game itself was fun and challenging. Other than that, I do like the aesthetics a lot. Simple yet charming, and the water's gradient is very well done!
I do have to make the observation though, I don't think I've ever played a game this loud in my life. I'm not sure if there was something on my end, but you may want to lower the volume overall or add buttons or a slider in the future.
Other than that, glad that you made it in! Rather impressive for something done that quickly! Keep it up! :whale:
Going up and down is pretty slow which diminishes from the gameplay and the sounds from the bombs explodes does get tiring for a while. Great work though!
The sound of the humming speedboats (I assume) is... not-pleasant. It would be better without it. The other sounds work well, such as the bombs and the splashing.
I'd also consider speeding up the shark's movement speed.
It's unclear what the objective is. I had to read the comments to see that jumping into boaters gives you points.
This is a good for the 14 hours you've put in, and very nice artwork! Good job!
I really hope one day there's a game made that follows the original film
