Soooo cute game ! Love it ! It's original to do a cosy poetic cute game about storm, and it works very well. 

Good idea the noise during  the storm. And I adore the references in the dialogues !

Some ameliorations I can note :

- There is no music in the menu when we launch the game.

- The "end turn"  button is a little bit small and could have a better design (think it's a lack of time, no ?)

Very good job ! Well done !

Really cute game!! I could easily imagine this being an awesome navigation game for an even larger sailing game. The art assets were really cute, the audio was awesome, I didn't encounter any bugs, great job! The only thing I would recommend is change the fonts to match, some of the buttons have different fonts and it's a small fix that goes a long way. Great job!

This game was a blast! I had a great time figuring out my moves and hoping I was heading in the right direction. The way the screen darkened during the storm added a nice touch of tension.

The art style is charming, and the characters are super cute. Overall, fantastic entry! Keep up the great work!

This was a very fun game! I liked strategizing in order to move around, and praying that the way I was going in was the correct one. I also liked how the screen got darker the worst the storm was.


I also really liked the overall artstyle, and the cuteness of the characters.

Really good entry :D!

Really beautiful game. I'm maybe not the imagined audience but I feel like with the turn based nature of it it would have been nice to have some kind of fail state. I made a bad move and got blown onto rocks and had a moment of panic and then realized that there were no consequences - it just blocked movement.

If you could actually get shipwrecked (even if it just meant you would start over from the last island you camped on) it would give more weight to the game and make you think a bit more about plotting your course to avoid dangers.

Still very much enjoyed it and played it all the way to the end, it feels like a concept that could be built into something bigger if you wanted to!

I LOVE THE GAME 10/10 for me. Good job!!!

The game looks really polished and the gameplay is very understandable, it would probably be a full release if you add more gameplay time and a little bit of features. Nice work and Good Luck!

This was a really cute and cool game!

I only wished that the bear could put on the pirate hat it found. ;-)

Aw, this game is so so cute!! :)

Great job, I really loved the art design and the cards, and how the shelters acted as checkpoints

Such a beautiful game. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

A gorgeous, whimsical experience. Everything from the gameplay to the sound to the dialogue to the music blend super well together. I especially love the constellation cursor, super interesting way to give flare to a standard UI element.

I love the gameplay and mechanics! The weather changes, random events, resource availability are very cool! You have done a great job, it shows!

P.S: And i got the green island bug, too) It was unexpected, but it didn't ruin the impression of the game!

Wow, this is actually amazing, the story, the visuals, sounds and gameplay, wonderfully crafted.

It looks like a kid's book, I would give it to them to play it, so much imagination.

Amazing work guys!!

P.S: I could not go on the green island, the game crashed, I'm attaching a screenshot.

Looks like the final bug fix introduced more problem than it solved... That's what happens when stuff is added at the last minute...

Thank you for pointing it out ! It should be solved now ;)

The game was relaxing to play.
The fog looks great.
The star path was a good  idea.  
With some animation on tile, it could look awesome.
Nice music and mood in general.

Well done !
