How does your game fit the theme?
You have a limited time of CALM to prepare for THE STORM.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote the code myself, but the font and the SFX are downloaded from the internet (I made some myself, but mostly that)

Great gameplay loop found my self playing multiple times on repeat.

The world generation is really good. I found myself exploiting it quite a bit when i need wood ;D

Really liked the ticking sound getting louder. really good touch didn't have to look at the timer always. Satisfying mining sounds and good touch with balancing yourself on boat in the storm.

The balancing part got me every time. Maybe giving a warning or reducing the speed with which we fly off would make it less frustrating. 

And now for the major bug I encountered

Steps to recreate: Play the game at least 2-3 times and restart using in-game functions. The boat will disappear and will never spawn back. Played at least three rounds after that. I think it might be the issue with how they are spawning or some Booleans. Should be pretty easy to fix if it what I am suspecting to be.

It fixed once I restarted the game but was pretty frustrating coz I upgraded almost everything twice and was going to see the end of the storm :(

Kudos!!! You made a great game. Thanks for submitting

Oh, thanks for the comment. Will look into the boat disappearing, as that never happened to me during stress-tests. Thanks!

YOOOOOOOO MINING haha. Very cool idea and a pretty nice execution. Great job! My biggest feedback would too definitely make it so the winds built up, as I immediately died in the boat section without having time to process what the gameplay loop even was. Overall, great project!

Sadly the boat part is too laggy for me : (   But it seems really fun!

Sorry to hear that! I tried optimizing the game, but it would look pretty bad.

Thanks for the feedback! Today I fixed an game-breaking bug, and then I just saw how poorly the game ran (on release at 6 fps), so I needed to optimize it. So thanks! Without you I probably wouldnt notice it.

Great concept with fun gameplay. Adding upgrades and smoothing wind transitions could enhance the experience. Loved the water graphics!

Wow such a creative idea!

Maybe you could have added more time, and upgrades for yourself (pickaxe, jump, speed). This way the player has a choice. Do I prioritize upgrading my ease of gathering resources, or start upgrading my boat. I had a ton of fun on this game, and the water looked nice!

The game reminds me of mining in Minecraft. It so fun.

Fun idea and a nice execution. I think it would be a little bit better if winds were a bit longer, but smoothed on the start, because I feel like they are to sudden to react. Had a fun time with that!
