The strategy I used was to have a tentacle on the top and one on the bottom and just kinda hope I made enough whirlpools to sink the ships lol. Ended up losing only once in the last level. I think the whirlpool mechanic is very cool and unique, but it felt hard to really control it. Good game, but could use some retouching

Thank you so much for playing my game and your feedback! How the whirlpools work 'under the hood' is that if there's a trail in all 4 cardinal directions (no diagonals) of a grid space and no whirlpools within 2 grid spaces in any direction (even diagonal) one should spawn. I originally tried to allow for checking diagonals to spawn a new whirlpool but it lead to being able to spawn a whirlpool by making an "L" shape, so I scrapped that idea. I'll try to make it a little more forgiving! Have a great day and good luck in the Jam!
