I thought it was fun and enjoyable and was impressed by the mechanics that were probably behind the ship and waves. However, the game play had no end goal or direction so it was really just a fun 5-10 minutes of play. Steering and such was a bit janky but the sail moving up and down with movement was cool. It was a bit loud though.

Steering isn't great, but you are controlling a boat in the sea, so it makes sense. Combined with the rocks and sharks in the storm phase, it creates a hard yet fun gameplay experience. The barrels are hard to collect but they can make the gameplay experience easier, so it's a fair trade off.

On one hand, the audio fits the game quite well and really adds to the atmosphere, while on the other hand, the visuals are ok and they clearly show what object they're meant to represent, though could use some polish and detail.

Overall, this is a fine game with great potential.

I think that the controls are good, but I need the camera control

The gameplay is almost really good, but I feel like finding barrels is tough considering how little time you have to do it. My biggest problem is the character controller being really slow, and I can't move the camera to check my surroundings.


Otherwise, I REALLY like the water. I know its very random and specific, but I really enjoy how it changes with the storm. It makes the sharks much more threatening since you have less visibility.  

Astounding Simplicity game, really like it. Now it's ur turn to try & vote us. thank u
