I can see this become addicting for me. Nice job.

I really enjoyed this! Artwork is good and colour choices and contrasts were good. The dual mechanic between ships and sharks was great. Only suggestion is to vary where the pirates spawn from after the first wave, they were only coming from below after a time. Otherwise, great job, and nice to see a fellow GameMaker user :)

Chrome says this file is malicious so I will not be playing your game. I'm sure more people would play if you fix that.

Good game. It is kind easy when you realize you can shoot like crazy to the bottom, where the boats spawn. You could make things harder if the enemies could spawn from any corner.

Really enjoyed this game. Fits the theme well and the audio was good compared to many of the other games I have played. Good job!

I had a lot of fun, with this. Big humor points for when the people try to swim back to the island. It made me giggle. This game has a lot of charm.

Potential area for improvement? I think the music could be changed a little. Perhaps something a bit more up-beat and arcadey. But that is just one man's opinion.

Overall, I really liked it. You should be happy with this submission.

This one is really good. I liked the use of the theme and the feel of the animations of gameplay.

Very cool! The composition of the sounds and the animations really impressed me. Very silly.

This was a ton of fun, even though I was terrible at it! Loved the little people falling off the boat effect/animation, made this game quite entertaining.

Poor little guys. I loved the sharks eating people. I guess I'm just a very bad person ^_^

Was really an interesting take on the concept and I liked the action in the game. Although it gets crowded quite fast and starts to get quite hard to do anything.

I liked the over all feeling of the game though and the art wasn't bad at all. :) Good work!

Haha, a sweet idea here!
The reflections in the water are a nice touch, and I love the way the dudes all bounce into the water, adding some humour to an otherwise frustrating situation.

(I would like to suggest making it a little harder to accidentally restart a game, I often never got to see what score I got because the game restarted immediately)

Nice game :) ! It's really fun. Maybe too many boats in the beginning, making the game really hard to play, but good job !

These guy have the worst commute EVER!
(or is this a game about feeding sharks?)
It's pretty hard, but quite fun. Well done.

awesome fun, the difficulty wavers a bit though. at one point nothing spawned for 20s, another it was armageddon :o

Very fun and addictive! This definitely works as an arcade game but I wouldn't mind seeing stuff like specific goals to reach and different levels if this was ever expanded on. Really like the concept and overall gameplay, great job!

Really fun to play.
I've felt sad for those little pixel characters who have been eaten! It makes the game intense
