How does you game fit the theme?
The objective of the game is to save ships, wich think they are lost and alone in the storm, and make them reach the safe port with the help of a lighthouse.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes!
All Music, Code and Design was made by us in the course of one week, apart from a few free sound effects and icons.

The idea is very original and well executed. The visuals are amazing, the gameplay is fun and addictive, and the music is very good. I had a really good time with this game. Well done!
This is an amazing game! This is the kind of game I am here for, so creative ^^
Great concept. Nice sounds and visual atmosphere. Game is polished. I like it
Relaxing, good sound, art in general. Well done!
great idea for a game I had a lot of fun playing it!
Quite fun game, enjoyed playing it. The gameplay feels unique and mechanics simple enough to grasp straight away. The visual presentation gives the game this eerie and kind of tense atmosphere. I suppose the spawns and speeds were randomized, but some of the monsters were very fast in the first levels.
Great job!
Yes Spawns and Speed are randomized - But in the first levels it should be manageble: If you get a pretty fast mob, the total amount of ships and monsters existining in one moment of time is kept small and vice versa.
In later stages both these numbers rise obviously!
Glad you liked the game! :D
The narrative and art direction fully complement the game design and the main mechanic of the game. The game is easy to pickup and feels really intuitive. It also fits the theme perfectly. You guys should be proud of yourselves, well done!
THX!!! :D
Really Appreciate it!
Really interesting concept, nicely executed. Ramped up a little fast, but perhaps I'm just bad at it lol.
Nice idea, had a little trouble figuring out the monster. But had fun.
Quite unique take on the theme :) Very intuitive to learn, and great initial tutorial.
Really nice idea for a game.
Execution is also really nice making for a relaxing backdrop with tense moments as you try to weave monsters and ships to their respective destinations.
Enjoyed this one, great game!
great game love the art, audio and gameplay is good great job. I think this could be a full game one day
Very innovative. The music, art, and gameplay are great. Maybe add some bonuses/upgrades that allow you to see if there are boats or monsters coming? Maybe add some boats with lights so you know they aren't monsters for variety (could do the opposite for some monsters).
This is like the 4th game I've played in the jam using light focusing in different ways. This is mine that does that also: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-8/rate/1675396
Thanks! We actuallly wanted to add more unique ships and monsters like for example a healing boat, and we also wanted to make upgrades and "special" effects, but the time didnt alow us to. Great ideas from you too, thank you :)
Realy good concept for a game!. Me personally I spent 20 minutes straight to get the highest score ever haha. It is my favourite game of the jam so far. :)
Haha - What Score did you get? :D
I think arround 7k because so many ships sunk :((

thx <3
Very unique take on the theme! Really fun to play. Good Work!
Really cool idea! reminds me of a "flight control" game I used to play on the ipod long time ago
Great Game! Can be a bit tricky at times but it's great
