Hee-ho. Cute game. Nice experience, thank you
Thanks for playing.
Your game is great! It is super well polished and the graphics look really good.
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed the game.
Enjoyable, definitely could use some clarity and maybe a bigger view? But the core concept works
Thanks for the feedback. I could pull the camera view back a bit?
That would already help I feel like yes!
Felt like the foreground bushes were obstructing my view. It would be better if the entire scene was shifted up to compensate. Nice submission!
Good catch. I will definitely move up the camera view a bit. Thanks for playing.
Nice arcade-style game. Visuals are nice and I like how everything intensifies the closer you get to your destination.
Thanks.
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.
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?
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.
Ah got it. Yep, I'll check your game out as well.
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!
Thanks for playing and feedback. I could try where the camera is behind the player instead?
Yeah, that's what I toughs would be best.
These types of games really deserve to be exactly matching the theme, really nice and calming game.
Thanks!
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!
Thanks for the feedback.

Good Graphics, Good Ui The fact u coded it in 7 days is pretty cool, loved the gameplay
Glad you enjoyed playing the game. This game jam was a lot of fun. Looks like we both had boat games. :)
the game was fun i liked that in first its easier and with time it gets harder and a storm is being added. and nice tutorial in the most of the game here there wasnt a tutorial. and nice movmenet and obstecals and the fuel is a nice feature.
Thanks for playing!
Overall a solid game :)
Thanks!
nice! really liked the graphics, the music and how the weather changed the further you went on. good job!
Thanks for the feedback.
That's cool to play! I could definitely see myself playing this on mobile while on the train. However, I struggled at first because I was using WASD, and the tutorial didn’t recognize it as completed. I didn’t think to use the arrow keys.
Thanks! Ah good catch. Looks like I got to fix that bug.
That's pretty nice and polished! Great Job!
Thanks!
Congrats on your submission!
I really like the transition between the calm water and the storm. The wave picking up, the rain, the ambiance., it all goes together really nicely well done!
The only feedback I would give is maybe the camera angle or the height of the obstacles, sometimes you can't really see where to go so you need to guess. It could be interesting to have some sort of visuals to display the correct corridors.
Good job!
Thanks for the feedback! That's a great idea. Like a preview of what is coming? Or maybe an additional indicator up at the top?
Possibly, I had the idea of something like guitar hero where you see the upcoming obstacles, but then you wouldn't check the game at all and you would be focused on that UI instead. What could be done would be to have 5 corridors with a slight overlay on the ones available. It entirely depends on what your ideas are ;)
It has moments when it becomes difficult, like an arcade game. Nice!
Thanks!
Cool game, movement was fluid (no pun intended). It would be cool if there was some way to speed up to avoid big obstacles
Thanks for the input! Yea, that's a great idea. If I expand on this game, I will definitely include some sort of power up or accelerator for the boat's speed. Like upgrades or something?
Really liked the game, it gets a bit difficult but it's very solid!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed playing the game.
