The monster animation was really funny! I like that the game's goal was easy to understand immediately and the candle light burning kept me engaged. I wish if striking with the oar didnt have a cooldown so i could spam hits but thats just a personal preference haha Overall though great game!
Having a proper smoke simulation for this game is so cool! I enjoyed balancing watching the candles and the enemies, though the tiny oar cooldown made it a little easy to just bash every monster that entered my boat.
