Sirens by miotatsu
Sirens is a game where you play as sirens, trying to crash ships into rocks.
Click on a Siren to make it sing, but be warned - the siren's song is short, and has a cooldown! The gold icon in the upper right lets you buy more rocks and sirens if you have enough gold & there is a valid place to put what you want to buy. Rocks can only be placed around a siren. The 200 gold rock option will fill the entire area around a siren with random rock types. You can use it even if the rocks are not all gone.
To build the game you will need SDL2, SDL2_Image, SDL2_ttf, FMOD, dmd (dlang.org), and dub (code.dlang.org). Once the dependencies are installed run "dub" in the game's directory. That will build and run the game. If you have a successful build for a platform that I have not provided, please consider sending it my way!
To run the game you will need SDL2, SDL2_Image, SDL2_ttf, and FMOD.
When there is a windows build ready, dll's will be included in the game folder for your convenience.

I plan on having a win32-x86 release ASAP.
Made it to the point where it was impossible for me to lose unless I just stopped playing. Perhaps increase the spawn rate of the ships as the game goes on.
Found myself playing for far longer than I intended, and I was driven to try for the mysterious 200g purchase. Could use a bit more audio variety, but I appreciated the embedded humor. Way to survive the compo!
It's quite satisfying to lure seamen to their doom with my hawt naked siren bodies. And voices. Simply irresistible.
ahahahaha boobies
When to sing the song is also a strategy thing. Picked by GB!
The audio was ridiculous, especially the singing and the sound effects of the crashing ships. B-)
I like how your weapons are also your defense. It took me a long time to build up to 200 GP, and I wonder if the balance is off.
Overall, nice job.
The siren song is awesome :))
