I like this game a lot but I think I'm just bad at it lol. A chill mode where you have more health or infinite health would do numbers. But as is, it's great. Solid music, solid and consistent visual style, unique and satisfying gameplay. Just a great jam game all around.

Game Description
In this short arcade game, you play as a big sea serpent. Devour the sailors and destroy their ships as they come and go. Will you succeed in catching your lunch?
How does your game tie into the theme?
The serpent consumes the sailors. Another tie to the theme is at the end when you die, but we won't spoil that for you...

Truly the best so far.
I love the idea playing a sea serpant / sea monster attacking ships.
I wonder though, what exact effect the jellyfish have, I only saw a combo related to them. This made me thought, if they can be used for something, like a stronger attack using their tentacles. At least something like this would be very cool.

PillarcatThe idea, at the time, was to have something to chain combos together, kind of like using manual and revert in Tony Hawk.
Without a jelly, your combo would end and tally shortly after reentering the water.
That obviously leans harder into the score chaser side of the game, but I do like your point about finding more weaponry!
Extremely well made. Like others, I had problems on Mac + Chrome, but even with those problems, it still felt like a very fun and well executed game.

Crown Fire: Winds of ChangeI wish I could ever make controls feel this good. Extremely well crafted. I love it when games give you little titles for things that give you points hahaha.
You should try and implement a scoreboard. With the scores I'm seeing here, people would go crazy.
Excellent game, I loved it!
