This somehow reminded me of plants vs zombies xD. Overall, pretty cool game, it's enjoyable and the control feels good. The concept is cool as well. Good job!!

Simple gameplay loop, but very effective. I also love the squishyness of the ball-slime-player controller-whatever that ray of sunshine is considered.

I like the variety of enemies and the frantic pace of the gameplay!

A fun game! Loved the variety of enemies and how the difficulty ramps up if you miss hitting the enemy with the bombs.

I also really liked the art of the crab and seagull!

Developer

neat idea! I loved the spritework and enjoyed discovering I could creatively use the bombs to get rid of the crabs!

Near perfect rating!! This is a HELL of a game jam entry. Well done. The sound? Simple. Might've been 3/5 stars, but then I sat back and listened to the seagulls. Bumped up a star. Nice touch. 

Also, I've played/rated about a dozen jam games in the past 12 hours or so, and this is the FIRST to use both WASD and arrow keys, natively. THANK YOU. Why does no one do this?

At first I thought I just needed to dodge and survive, but then I read the instructions.  A lot to do moving with mouse to throw a bomb as well as keyboard, so will take some practice and exhibits a full gaming experience.  I just need some practice and patience, then hopefully I will throw some bombs at those birds!

Now not only do I have to survive in a raft in the middle of the ocean, but I also have to deal with bombs being thrown from probably airplanes. Really me against the world huh!
Really liked the character design and ambiance. Simple but felt very real.

You've got a simple set of mechanics and a really great idea here. I loved how your tile-based raft was designed in a way that let the bombs poke holes in it without it losing its great visual identity. More "juice" like flashes, screen shakes, and audio cues would really go a long way towards taking this to the next level. 

I'd also be curious to see how your game would play differently if you had shadows representing where the bombs were falling to help telegraph to players where to head to next. With a little more heads up on where they need to go, I bet you could do all kinds of interesting things with how the bombs drop where you've got multiple bombs dropping at once or them dropping in tight, pre-defined patterns/sequences to really ramp up the urgency and give more variety to the gameplay.

Thanks for making and sharing—this is one of my favorites so far!

too bad there is no background music but it has a fun and interesting gameplay

The art is cute, the mechanics are strong and well implemented.
I wish there were music, and perhaps a flash or shake ffect could make the bombs feel way more impactful!

Otherwise I had alot of fun!

Good job on this one! The gameplay was fun and I liked the graphics. I think it could've benefited from some kind of music, but otherwise it was pretty good.
