How does your game fit the theme?
The calm before the storm is represented by the moment the player takes to prepare and build a raft before traversing the storm looming on the horizon.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
the code is ours, almost all assets were made by us. the free ones we used will be credited in-game or on the game's page.

Hee-ho. Nice game. Good idea
This game is pretty, I really liked the visuals, the sea looks great, the boathouse at the start is also beautiful but I’m not used to that kind of view haha. The songs fit great with the atmosphere, so in those 2 parts, this game it’s really good
The gameplay has a few issues that make it easy, if you place a plank at the start but don’t put it in the grid and just press “Done!” it will start the game with no boat, which you can’t lose because there is nothing to hit or avoid
If you build your raft, you can go out of the screen, if you go to the left or right, you can avoid everything and just wait for the land as the 1st case I said above, to avoid that, you could clamp the movement of the player so it don’t go away from the screen
Also, grabbing the 1st plank in the boathouse can be a bit hard, after that, it feels ok to interact with those objects
But the concept of avoiding the objects while enduring to reach the new land can be fun! :)
Nice artwork, the perspective on the first level melted my brain for a bit
I liked your itch page as well :P
I really liked the top-down 3d of the building phase! The visuals of it really struck me. It took me a minute to put the first piece down but it was straight-forward after that. I'm not sure if the different pieces had different effect beyond aesthetic in this version, but I like the idea!
The sailing phase could have a bit more to it. More obstacle permutations, or some mechanic to mix it up like stabilizing for a big wave. On the technical side there could be a check to make sure certain obstacle set-ups can be evaded, and maybe a timer or distance meter. But maybe it's the point that you don't know how long you'd be on the open sea.
We originally had a plan to make building materials influence some factors of the raft, like health, acceleration, max speed, etc - but that got scrapped near the end. Thanks for checking out our game!
I had no idea whar to do so I moved some carpets around and then watched things float by... Misssed the point of game but enjoyed cinematic experience with nice sound :D
This game has a lot of potential. I love the concept and it is well made! In general I think there could be more depth to a few aspects of the game. Such as during the traversal phase.
I really love the art style and the animation that plays when you jump on the raft, but it was a bit jarring having the main character walk in the bottom area of the shack
I love the Visual Style! Also nice Concept. I had to try a Bit at First - a Tutorial would be great. I really like the idea very much, its a Special approach!
I wish there was a tutorial level or something to teach you how to play because I was stuck at first. Overall its a really nice game 👍
Interesting and detailed art style. Not immediately obvious what's going on gameplay wise but definitely something to build on here.
Nice concept, but in the starting phase while building the raft I found a little bit tricky to build the raft and the sea seemed a little bit slow
Thank you for the feedback!
Interesting Graphics and Music!! but i kinda confused how to play the game?
Thank you for the feedback! Controls are WASD for movement and E to interact.
Fun idea! I like the building mechanic, reminds me a lot of old flash games in a good way and I think it has a lot of potential to be expanded upon :D
Thank you for the feedback! :D
