Very charming game! Love the intros! I think the game feels a little slow to move around, but that could be me (and also the fact of the low gravity :p) awesome job!

Top tier entry! Loved this game, it feels really polished and is very authentic to the era. I love how chill it is and exploring feels great! All the effects are on point, and the further away islands only rendering when you get closer not only helps the game feel more authentic but also is great for exploration and immersion! Also the intros are really good, wish we had enough time to have done something like that on our game. Great work! One of my favourites on this jam

The Kassel ParadoxLove the chill vibe of this one. Top marks for the 90s look. That intro hit me right in the nostalgia :)

Treasure HunterI like to imagine this game is what would happen if someone stepped on a butterfly and Astroneer was made instead of Pikmin.

Path of the Faoladh (Demo)This is really amazing. It actually feels like a PSX game, especially with the psuedo-startup screen. My only feedback is that the movement could be slightly faster and that there's a bug where the player can get stuck to an edge after jumping, but besides those I can see this being a full game where you explore other planets.

Reef ExplorerYooo this might be the prettiest and best game I've played on this Jam so far.
Things I loved:
- The music is so relaxing and entrancing.
- The graphics are very authentic and colour-pallet used is phenomenal. It felt very alien. The orange/yellow sea feels very otherworldly which I really liked.
- The animations were cool. I especially liked the player's death animation. Although it's really hard to die in this game.
- I really really really love the idea of roaming around an alien ocean on a boat, visitng different islands in search of treasure. The concept has such a child-like wonder to it and I think it was excecuted very well. Reminds me of Wind Waker.
Improvements
- The game feels very slow. The movement is slow, the boat is slow and the anti-gravity makes jumping a bit of a hassle. Perhaps that was the intention, but when you have so many islands to get to, and so much stuff to mine, it can become kinda tedious to move around.
- The game is very easy. There's enemies but they offer 0 threat to the player. It feels like they were included for no real reason.
- The gameplay loop of collecting gems can be a little bit repetitive. Although I'm sure you would've had more ideas given more time.
Overall I loved it! The game has a lot of potential and is probably one of the best games released for this jam!
