Game description
Make it home to your mother's house in your humble row boat, and navigate the murky waters that hide more than just whispers...

Theme interpretation
We interpreted the theme in relation to sound waves, in the game the player is able to see and navigate around sound waves some of the sounds are regular creatures, others are mimic sounds created by the siren.

Almost impossible to play. Not sure how to move, and lots of glitches with textures. Sorry :(

Pretty cool. I really like the pixelated style. the game play is super clever I'd have never thought someone could pull a game play like that off. And it's admirable you managed to make it so I never got stuck on rocks. I lost to one mermaid, beat the second and found my way to the house. The navigation by objects is cool tho it might have been nice to have  a few more. The overall vibe was super cool and moody from the hand drawn map to the cool level and monster design and the nice sound design.  I did feel like the boat doesn't 'turn' quite right, like I had a lot of trouble getting it to turn and mostly was just spamming the paddle to get it to turn. It's fun how much speed you can get going in the boat, I love games that don't cap player stupidity.  The siren's are cool and scary. The navigation was a little confusing and I couldn't find my dad.  Overall really strong art direction and pretty solid game play.
