Help Boaty McBoatface collect as many buoys as possible in one minute. Just beware of Sharky McSharkface. If you're up for a challenge, increase Sharky's speed to 3 or 4 (higher than that is *really* hard). Before the pandemic, I used to see people boating on the Charles River almost every day. This game combines my nostalgia for those tranquil scenes with the anxiety of a shark attack. Is it a metaphor? Only you can decide.
This is my first Scratch game. @rumiakiko patiently guided me through this process, and @7eps80 gave me lots of invaluable technical suggestions. I got inspiration from their projects, and also got ideas from looking inside of awesome projects by @bananabunbun and @reinbread. Thanks everybody! Some of the sprites came from nicepng.com. What a great website. When I get more experience in Scratch, I might make a version of this game with multiple levels. For now, there's lots of other stuff I want to try!
