Super Amazing Lighthouse Repair Crew by jusentari
Pack in your gear and float out to repair the lighthouse! Our first Ludum Dare & first game jam. We learned a lot during the process (especially about overscoping and code planning) and had a lot of fun! Thanks for playing :)
You can repair the towers on the sand as well as the lighthouse. Remember to drag all of the towers back on to your raft before the tide comes in!

I liked the style tho!
Once I figured out that I could only move around after placing the engineer “tower” I really enjoyed the gameplay loop of this game. Having the re-embarking of the towers be a part of the same timer as repairing was a nice touch, it kept things feeling frantic even after I had overwhelming firepower as I needed to get all those towers loaded up.
I did not discover if there was a victory condition, being taken by the tide and my own hubris, but I enjoyed my time playing this one a lot. Great game, great job!
Took me a few turns to really get a feel for what I was supposed to do, but once I got it down it was quite an addictive little loop.
The stacking/unstacking part at the end feels a bit tedious after a bunch of rounds, not sure if there's a way to make it feel better. Maybe just making the stack area bigger so it's more forgiving with me slamming stuff in there? Or maybe being better about hiding the little struts under the buildings so it's more clear what the correct alignment is.
Also wish there was a health bar (If it's there I missed it?), as it seems damage doesn't heal up between rounds? I know I feel super tanky early on and eventually usually die to a light tap.
Really like this one, nice work!
would be interested to see where you could take this concept <3
i experienced a bug when wave 10 started. i'd filled up my raft at the end of wave 9 and then the tide came in twice leaving 2 blocks behind and my raft is gone. i was playing on web btw
