Game description
Game where you play as a shark fighting of waves of enemies and try to survive as long as possible

Theme interpretation
I took the theme in somewhat of a literal way as I've made a wave based action game. I've also used it as in waves of an ocean as the players attacks are waves that they fire.

I really enjoyed this game. It's a fun rogue like and it fits the theme very well.

thanks! I鈥檓 glad you liked the game!  馃槉 I鈥檝e already started working on it more and trying to make it a lot more fast paced and have more gameplay so hopefully it鈥檒l end up being better too!

I like that you weren't afraid to challenge some of the assumptions of the Survivors genre, like going for one upgrade per chest and just leaving the upgrades by location instead of being awarded by XP. I like the little swimming animation for the shark too. I agree with the other commentator, definitely make time for audio next go around, you'll thank yourself.

Developer

thanks! I wanted to flip it a bit and make the power ups to be random so you have to decide whether to leave it or not, and then I was intending on adding items and more attack types in different pickup types and have that be where the options are for the player to pick from 馃槉 unfortunately time slipped away from me and I had to focus on getting an mvp out there instead 馃槄 thanks for the advice on sound too!

Definitely needs some audio. As a Jaws  fan I loved being the shark!  haha Nice work :D

Shark Survivors , I like it ! I assume that's shark's teeth as bullets , are they ? 

The pacing could be a bit faster ,as commented earlier , and music or other audio would definitely juice it up! You have a good idea here though! Keep it up !馃槈

Developer

my art skills are probably lacking but it鈥檚 supposed to be waves shot out from it 馃槄 


yeah I hate I couldn鈥檛 get any sounds or particles added in time but I鈥檒l deffo be adding all of these suggestions to the game as soon as possible and hopefully it鈥檒l get there! Thanks for the suggestions! 馃槉

Gameplay feels Really slow and just swimming around collecting chest that give minimal stat boosts doesn't make for exciting gameplay and The lack of audio makes it very boring too.

if i can make changes to the game i would've made the chest upgrades more impactful like maybe 15% or 20% per upgrade and increase the amount of enemies at the minimum. Great attempt though. Hope you improve in the Future and achieve your Dreams

Yeah I didn't have much time to optimize the percentages of everything but i definitely will takethat on board and try and focus on getting the speed of the game in general higher. Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it! :)
