Really cool take on the theme! Does a great job creating the rainy night atmosphere and making you feel important.
The only nitpicks I have are that the boats running into each other can become a bit distracting and that it would've been nice to have an additional mechanic/score to either make it more challenging or let me know how good I'm doing. Otherwise, great job!

Endiana Jones: Kingdom of TimeA beautiful game ! The atmosphere is perfect too, it's quite calming.

Shadow BulletsReally interesting concept and I loved the no-UI approach! It felt quite atmospheric with the rain and minimalist audio. I felt like there should be some indicator for how much time had passed - if you wanted to keep the no-UI theme you could maybe have the scene gradually get lighter as the sun comes up, or ease the rain up over time?
There is also a bug when you finish the game, go back to the main menu and start a new game, it instantly jumps back to the end game screen.
Also a fun meta-game is seeing how many boats you can crash into each other :]

Those Gods Below UsHah, those idiots running into my lighthouse rock at ludicrous speed during such weather deserved what they got!
Atmospheric and pretty fun game!

Our Final DaysReally enjoyed this. Love the theme and the atmosphere created. It's very satisfying when you're able to divert multiple boats at once from hitting the rocks and each other. Would've liked to know what my score was and the voice at the beginning was a little hard to understand. I agree about the one of the other comments about a meter for the light so you have to use it more carefully.
Great work!

The End Is Near ad InfiniumReally like the concept of the lighthouse, the controls are great and really intuitive.
Some ideas that came to mind while playing : maybe some type of UI showing how long you have to go (could be counting down until the sunrise), could also have a light meter, so that the player can't keep the light on all the time (maybe the bulb overheats).
The atmosphere works great with the setting! Really interesting idea and good execution!

X Doors AwaySuper atmospheric! You managed to create a really unsettling feeling whilst playing the game, a lot of fun directing ships!
