How does your game fit the theme?
Welcome to Beach Clean Up Crew. This game fits the theme of "Calm before the storm" because there is a period of low activity and then a literally storm shows up and the player must perform more actions in order to maintain their section of beach.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
The code in this project can be located here: https://github.com/BlazingNeutron/calmbeforestorm
I, BlazingNeutron, wrote almost all the code, another dev, ColinPG, developed the store open/close and main menu features.
I made almost all of the graphical assets from scratch in Aseprite and Krita, except the "staff" sprite. The use of that sprite is granted under the OGA-BY 3.0 license and here is the source:

I think this would be a fun arcade game. I enjoyed playing this. I had a ton of boats and a horde of staff, and I thought I could let them work for me. And I came to the conclusion, I am not hiring these guys in my Frantic Fruit Store 😂
Good Game 🔥
Cool game design and innovation of mechanics.
What an amazing creation! Your passion and talent are evident in every part of this game. It’s an absolute joy to play—well done! :)
Thank you for the play and for the great compliment.
Loved the art and sound, I put like 20 staff on the beach lol. Nice work!
Nice game! I liked the take on the theme and the tension when you have the waves. To improve, I would focus on making the UI cleaner (maybe having less elements in the UI) or working on the graphics. Still a very solid entry.
I enjoyed the game! The theme is well-executed, and the concept is quite engaging. The sound design adds a lot to the overall experience, making it even more immersive. I did run into a small issue where I couldn’t interact with items behind the UI, but other than that, it’s a solid and fun game! With some tweaks to the interface, it could be even better. Great job!
Very interesting clicker game! I liked the theme, and I did have some fun. Great job!
Nice game! Great sound design and fits nicely with the theme.
Nice game. Didn´t quite understand the purpose of the guards. They didn´t seem to do anyhting than flexing the muscles.
I love this, reminds me of my time as a beach cleaner.
It never happened, but if it did, I'm sure it would have been just like that!
Good submission mate
Really fun game with some optimization and automatization upgrades, i really liked it. The only thing that i didn't like is that while playing in browser, i cant click behind the store and cant take out the items that spawn there.
Really interesting concept, I had fun playing this game. The panel being there and having to be closed and open is a little bit of a problem. Also in every try I died after wave 1 and i didn't really understand why. But I thinks it's a really fun idea, great job! gave a good review
I thought the game was really fun, there's just one problem, how can a myopic person without glasses play this? hahaha otherwise the game is perfect
If you could play my game too, I would really appreciate it: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2970215
Fun game! I would make the store ui into buttons that stays on screen but takes less space instead of a full panel that you can close and open. Because right now when its open you can’t click the objects behind it and when it’s closed you can’t upgrade. Other than that it’s great, good gameplay loop.
Very fun game. no critiques. I did notice by day 3 that the music completely stopped though. Easy fix I'm sure. Good job!
Cute game, really polished! Has some challenge, and upgrades feel impactful, that's cool!
Well polished execution of an idea. Some upgrades don't feel very substantial. Like the price to value ratio of buying a boat vs upgrading your boats could be more balanced. But thats like a nitpick. Lots of fun, basic well set up mechanics. And visuals were great.
Thanks for the review. Agreed about the balancing, this is my first game and I spent way too much time on graphics and animation and not enough on the game play.
Quite challenging. Fun variation of a standard clicker genre. Needs a little balancing, but really nice nonetheless ^^,
Thanks for the compliment and for checking out the game. Completely agreed the balance is a bit off and I look forward to researching that topic more in future jams.
Cant manually collect trash behind the UI
Thanks for the feedback, this is a great comment. The store does close, but now I know that I didn't make it obvious enough. That's some UX stuff I still need to learn. The "Store" button in the top right toggles the store, but I think I will make it more obvious in the future.
Nice and realaxing game! I like the animation of the staff members!
