How does your game fit the theme?
Save as many people as possible before time runs out or the boat runs out of capacity. But make sure there is still time and space for yourself

Very enjoyable, feels a lot like old Flash games (especially the artstyle). I saved 23 people with 35 fame, but got left behind because I kept confusing W and S, haha
Pretty fun game. Creative way to incorporate the countdown theme!
This is really creative! Theres something satisfying about grabbing people and throwing them into a boat (great job)
Saved 26 people. Got 38 fame. They wanna make a movie about me.
Surprisingly fun game. Love how smooth and fast the movement is.
Great job!
This game felt very satisfying to play. Good stuff
Cool idea and story! I like how it's simple but still quite fun.
Never played a game like this one! It was fun throwing people, but with how confusing the below-deck was I found the easiest way to get points was to wait to throw people into the boat right before they went in themselves. Maybe some landmarks in the hallways would help to navigate?
I agree, having the hallways be randomly generated instead of them being hand crafted is something that I would do differently if I would have to do the project again. That system needed a bit more time to cook then what we realistically had.
What a fun game with a unique concept! Finding out the kids and old ladies gave more fame made me prioritize saving them which made it more fun to search and rescue. I really enjoyed this one. Good job!
Nice game, it would be cool to have different people give different amount of points, however, it's a pretty nice game, the music fit the the game pretty well, and launching people onto the boat was pretty fun. Well done.
They do! There are 3 different passengers that each give a different amount of points. Adults give 1, elders give 3 and children give 5. The How To Play has a section explaining it.
Oh, Sorry, my bad, I missed that part
A bit buggy, but very fun. I got 33 fame
29 people saved, 37 fame. I literally laughed once I realized the people were getting off the boat themselves, but the character wanting to be famous and look like a hero wants to save them. Simple and kind addictive, I think it would've been really cool to stack people and move slower...That'd add a risk/reward part. But yeah, not bad and it's silly.
Who needs a gym membership when you can just throw people (hopefully) in a boat, build muscle and become an absolute icon??? 10/10 would throw again! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Throwing people has never been this fun :)
Nice game! I love the simplicity and how fun it is this game
Throwing people is quite funny. Overall great little game.
i really love throwing people off board
You, you mean in the life raft right? Right?!
same same but different
Great little game, super well pollished for a jam. Sort of just stayed on deck grabbing people as they arrived, not sure if there was more insentive to go inside?
Thanks you! Yea that was one aspect we were struggling to figure out, currently the incentive is that higher point people are slower and don't use the doors as much so they rarely go up to the deck.
Yeah, something like that would be perfect. Or VIPs who are stuck behind bags, and you have to use the pick up & throw mechanic to empty the hallways which speeds people up to the deck.
I had so much fun rescuing old ppl. great job
Just so much fun! Works really nicely as an arcade style game, with snappy gameplay that keep drawing you in and the different ending captions just pushing me to try one more run to see if I could get a different result :)
It was fun stealing the people from the deck and getting credit for "saving" them.
"Dont worry I save you!" Picks you up and moves you one meter. "My job here is done!"
