Loved that game! The graphics are super fresh! You built the tension really well with the music when approaching the storm. Felt really polished and clean, gg!

Developer

Thanks! I was trying to time the music with the game speed. I think it has 3 different layers. 

Submitted

Good game, love the graphic!

Developer

Thank you!

Thanks!. I really wanted to use a lot of particles effects for the weather / storm theme. Your game was fun too. I just finished it. I'm a fan of Dragon Ball Z too.   

Submitted

Glad to hear that fellow fan :D

Great game I enjoyed it. Only thing is that even though it is possible to play with wsad the tutorial doesn't register that. And sometimes it felt like the boat phased through obstacles without the need to go around them. Apart from that great game.

Developer

Good catch on that bug. I may have made the collision for the rocks / debris too small. Thanks for the feedback!  

Wow, this game is an impressive piece of work! The attention to detail and creativity truly shine through. It's clear that a lot of effort and passion went into making it.

I appreciate your feedback. This was a great theme for game jamming this year. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Really cool game. Loved the ramp-up of intensity and the larger waves. Got frustrated a few times by getting stuck on big rocks but I was able to learn the patterns. Felt like a really good length too. Overall I really enjoyed. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I may have made the collision too large for the big rocks. They using a box collider I believe.  

Submitted

Hee-ho. Cute game. Nice experience, thank you

Developer

Thanks for playing. 

Submitted

Your game is great! It is super well polished and the graphics look really good.

Developer

Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed the game. 

Submitted

Enjoyable, definitely could use some clarity and maybe a bigger view? But the core concept works 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. I could pull the camera view back a bit? 

Submitted(+1)

That would already help I feel like yes!

Submitted

Felt like the foreground bushes were obstructing my view. It would be better if the entire scene was shifted up to compensate. Nice submission!

Developer

Good catch. I will definitely move up the camera view a bit. Thanks for playing. 

Submitted

Nice arcade-style game. Visuals are nice and I like how everything intensifies the closer you get to your destination.

Developer

Thanks.

Submitted

The graphics and audio are quite good. Enjoy the smooth motion of boat as well. Just a visual feedback of boat getting lost would have helped.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Like when the boat goes behind an object? If I update this after the game jam, I was thinking of using an x-ray shader or boat silhouette?

Submitted

Would prefer to have that in this case too. Although primarily, I meant the feedback regarding losing the game. It mentions boat getting lost, which I couldn’t find intuitively.

Btw, can you rate mine as well.

Developer

Ah got it. Yep, I'll check your game out as well. 

Submitted

Would suggest the game not being a sidescroller, because it is very hard to see what comes next and react on time when it goes fast. Besides that I quite enjoyed it!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and feedback. I could try where the camera is behind the player instead? 

Submitted(+1)

Yeah, that's what I toughs would be best.

Submitted

These types of games really deserve to be exactly matching the theme, really nice and calming game.

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Really nice graphics and UI. My suggestion would to make the movement a bit more floaty because it felt really snappy for being on a boat, but otherwise the game was very enjoyable. Nice job!
