Our game incorporated calm before the storm into our core gameplay loop, players will go between phases of fighting off waves of enemies and relaxing and upgrading themselves and their base. There are many calms and many storms, how many will you survive?

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
our 3D assets come half from our team and half from the unity asset store. Our code comes from old projects, across the internet and our own elbow grease.

Love the vibe!
I've encountered some bugs:

  • During my first game tutorial broke, It was pointing me to the blue hut, but I were there multiple times. When it happened I also could just spam "E" and my health was increased each time, even if I didn't have enough money and wasn't close to the yelow hut. I was also in debt as my money was -3 (pretty realistic experience).
  • During my second game ship flew up in the sky and I just couldn't do anything about it. Here's the screenshot: 

That being said, I had my fun with your game! Pretty solid experience, just need some fixing. And as I said above, I love the vibe! 🚢

Unique tower defense with really great perspective and clean mechanics, nice job on this one, was a lot of fun!

Fun game! The boat controls felt a bit off at times, like it drifted in a strange direction when I tried to stop. I also think darkening the scene a bit more would enhance the stormy atmosphere. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience—great job!

fun game the controlls for the boat felt a bit wonky at times like I would try to stop moving and the boat would drift in a direction opposite of where I was going. I would also say to try and improve upon the theme a little you might want to make the scene darken a little to give it that feeling of a storm over all tho great work was a fun play!!

Not bad, simple and looks pretty. At some point I managed to crush into anglerfish and learn how to fly above everyone else Xd

The game is very fun. Great work overall. Lots of creativity around the theme! The art, my best part!!

It was a lot of fun. However, I encountered this weird bug where somehow the boats collision was disabled. Enemies couldn`t damage me and I could go straight through the terrain. I`m not sure what triggered it though.

game was really enjoyable! at one point my boat began flying somewhere beyond the sea, somewhere, waiting for me, in the sky. definitely not a huge deal tho, game was solid. nice work :D

Really nice game and the art was great too.

There were some minor bugs but the game was still very enjoyable and would be a great mobile game.

Maybe consider mouse movement for better aim?

Would you mind rating mine?

I played twice and managed to break the game twice?

First time when the bigger fishes spawned i bumbed into one and I got pushed into the air but I stayed there and never came back down so I could not hit any enemies enymore.

Second time I somehow managed to bug in the tutorial  and everytime i bought something my health went up and I gained money or went into the negative, not sure

The movement and graphics are amazing and it's a fun concept so overal a excellent game.

it was pretty fun! Also, offtopic, but i like your team name. it was fun to play, simple and engaging, and the green fish were cute lol. It bugged twice for me. Once at the very start, where i spammed E to upgrade stamina and like.. it started giving me money, but i couldnt upgrade health or turrets, i dont exactly rememebr but uhh.. infinite money glitch. and another time, idk what happened but i became invincible. maybe a red cannon hit me? fish would swim up to me but couldnt kill me and i couldnt kill them xD so thats that. i liked the game

I beasted on those fish so hard that they had to call for backup from a bigger fish and then I beasted on them so hard that they called for  pirate ships and i beasted on them as well.  I am unstoppable. This is more than a game it is a lifestyle. I hate the fish so much! why do they want to destroy the lighthouse? Do they even know what a light house is? or are they so driven by bloodlust and destruction that the mere thought of something foreign existing in their ocean causes them to wreak havoc upon gods green earth. I have so many questions that only a 5 book series about this games lore can answer. Please make this game on ios. 

If A ship Against The Storm has a million fans, then I'm one of them.
If A ship Against The Storm has only one fan, then I'm THAT ONE.
If A ship Against The Storm has zero fans, that means I'm dead.


Godspeed little boat. Beast on the fish.

You beasted on this review too. Hilarious!

Hey, really liked the game. The monsters should have spawned outside the playable area, but in general, pretty fun game loop, just a bit slow and hard to actually lose. You know, I came to your game, because of your description "Defend your lighthouse from the monsters of the storm" our game is called Monsters of the Storm and it is about saving monsters. Who would have known that the monsters would then be killed by a boat XD.

Love the concept and upgrades. Could use a little more challenge and a way to know your high score, but very polished and so much potential!

Estuvo divertido.  Buen trabajo!!

I kept playing for so long. Is there any end, or you just play forever? The thing that stopped me from playing even longer was some bug where I would do zero damages and also recieve zero damage. But it's a game jam game and mine has lot more bugs, so it's ok.

Developer(+1)

The game does run forever with the only real end being if your lighthouse dies. Sorry to hear your run got cut short by a bug, we did run into collision issues during development but didn't have time to rectify it. Hopefully we'll get it fixed in the future. Thanks for playing our game!

I got eaten by the big orange angler fish. Nice Work!

It's interesting. The controls are fine and the movement of the enemies could be a bit better.

Submitted(+1)

Pretty good game. Nice, cohesive, fits the theme really well. Dashing through enemies feels really nice. I think a lot can be done with this as a base, very promising. Maybe some stuff to do in between waves? Like fishing to earn money perhaps?

Developer(+1)

I really like the fishing Idea and will definitely be putting it on the list of things to consider if we develop this game further. Your input is much appreciated!

Nice idea!

The boat mechanics didn't feel very boaty. Graphics are simple but work really great.
