This is a fun but tough little game. As other's have mentioned it's tough to keep enough life guards to not quick quickly overwhelmed.
Charming premise, art, and music. As others have mentioned the game becomes very difficult as lifeguards disappear if the person they were saving no longer needs help, I also had to refresh as simply restarting the game did not reset the money I had.
Ah, I realize the lifeguards are being taken by imposters
An entertaining game! I think the music played into the light hearted nature of the game and I think overall the art and sound tied in well together. I personally found it humorous trying to scramble to identify who is drowning and who isn't.
I thought this game was more intense than I would have liked when it came to being on theme for for a comfy game given the time sensitive nature of having to save swimmers in addition to being on the lookout for drowning swimmers.
Also found myself in a situation after losing that I wasn't able to hire any lifeguards because I couldn't afford them.
Overall, a fun experience albeit a little intense for me.
Art and sound and direction are all really good. The game clearly deeply struggles with balance, as guards are basically physically unable to get to drowning people on time. There's also a notable struggle with polish, as lifeguards disappear, money isn't reset on restart etc.
The game felt really punishing. There wasn't enough time to click on someone and assign a life guard while also zooming in and checking if they're an imposter. Losing a life guard sets you back so much because of how tight the money is.
