Lighthouse by n.feofentov
I wonder what it feels like: running out of space in seeming endless ocean? Guess I'll find out today.
I was told that the Cliffy Coast Lighthouse is broken. The worst place on Earth to land during the storm...

Gameplay
Get to the Lighthouse. Avoid cliffs.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
Good job team I would really like the game to be longer and adding a history and I would buy it :D
With an autorun and smaller speed it would be perfect for me (and longer expérence suddenly)

Anyhow, a great entry, I really liked it.
first try i died in the rocks, so the 2d try i went right to dodge the obstacles, but when i get close to the lighthouse from the right side, the camera was completely messed up and i was unable to move. But that's not the point ^^
The mood's lovely and the dreadful feeling of coming cliffs works really well
Thank you for making it <3
@nam-nguyen You're right about the lighthouse should be brighter at the beggining. But it's the problem of scale: it is not so big compared with the boat, so it looks realy tiny from far away. Maybe we should make it bigger to look more noticable. About siluette bug: it is bug with shader indeed. I'm thinking about how to fix it.
@tontonpizza I made a really simple camera tracking script: it rotates camera towards average direction between lighthouse and boat, assuming that player would approach the lighthouse from one direction. I need to rewrite it's logic entirely to make camera more handfull.
Will play everyones' games as soon as I'm home!
Oh and do you mind sharing how you implemented the waves?
The only thing I found strange was the offset of the waves. Sometimes I got a bit of motion sickness. Maybe reduce a little bit this or change the camera movement is enough.
And a big praise to the componist. Music makes so much. Love this simple track. :D
But i think, as @norrimo said, that there is some problems with the waves, my boat went crazy and practically got upside down x)
The music is a bit too loud in my opinion and you could add some hit and wave sounds. :)
Great entry anyway, inspired me for my game !
I have rated your game, but all of my feedback was captured in the stream.
