Got no windows, thus no rating, but nice to see someone picking up the old beach/bitch joke.

I felt weird when shooting at those poor guys lying on the sand.

Anyway, that was very well polished !

One of the best games so far in my opinion. Catchy music, sound effects, nice animated graphics, lots of fun shooting with cannon at the ships and the using machine gun to clear the rest? - Polished and perfect game. Well done :)

BlockBrains: have you checked the requirements (aka having the XNA Framework Redistributable 4.0 installed)?

Thanks for the comments everyone :)

jerrre: yes, I forgot to mention you'll need the Mono runtime on Mac. Here's the link: http://download.mono-project.com/archive/2.10.10/macos-10-x86//MonoFramework-MRE-2.10.10.macos10.xamarin.x86.dmg

Great aesthetics, nice and clean. Music was also fitting. I had a lot of fun shooting down those beach bums! It did felt a little easy after a while, still fun mowing them down!

Absolutely brilliant. These tourists should really learn to stop coming here. This was really fun. Not a big fan of the minecraft style characters, but I understand people choosing that particular route with such a short time frame.

I can see a lot of love went into this. It's fantastic. Hard to play on a touchpad however.

Amazing Jam entry! I really liked the mood of the game! Graphics are fancy and sound is really good. When firing the canon it reminded me a little bit the minigame from Monkey island 3 when Gybrush had to shoot the ships full of skeleton pirates! Really cool! :D
