Congrats, man! A game is about being FUN, and yours, definitely is!
The game mechanic sat well with the theme. The sound when successful though is making my ears ring...
Took me a second to figure out what to do, but a good game overall.
Fun game, the tune matches the underwater mood nicely, and I like the graphics style! Good game!
Good work. What's not to love with upside down sharks.
very nice man, simple, but a complete finish on every category, something I don't see in some games out here
Simple and fun. Congrats on your first game, keep it up!
Congrats for finishing your first game! Well done! I found it deceptively simple at first, and then it gets really challenging as more humans and shark appeared faster.
it's matches with last LD (34)- 2 button control :D
BTW Cool idea
Congratulations for this entry! Good game, altough i think you could increment some more challenges to give some more diversity to gameplay! But nice game, anyways!
Funny little game :) At first I thought it wasn't too challenging but I was wrong when it started going faster ^^' My highest score is 28! You did a fine job, congrats!
Sweet game you made there, especially for a first one. Runs super smoothly for me which is rare for a first ever WebGL port (bonus points for that). I enjoyed it a lot and you managed to do an at least decent work in each category ! I especially loved the soundtrack and some assets were really eye-candy. It was also pretty fun to play and features a exponential difficulty curve which is what I love as both a gamer and a designer, my highscore is 31. Wish my first ever game was that good, welcome into gamedev and Ludum Dare.
I like that the challenge is not in the number of shapes we can take but in the gradually increasing speed (makes it much more playable) :)

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Congratulations on making your first game ever. This is obviously the way to go, keep making games
