This is just great. Simple idea but you polished it up nice. And if this is your first game, I can't wait to see what you do next. I mean, there's a tutorial section, dialogue, a progress bar... seems really sophisticated. Also appreciated the punny sense of humor. Obviously it's pretty challenging--or at least, I thought so while using a keyboard--but I imagine that was on purpose. You should be really proud of this.
Really fun to play!! Good work!!!Very nice! Pretty challenging, but a lot of fun. I'm going to have to bust out my controller and give it another try with that!
It's so much fun and challenging!!!
I got addicted to it and it's said that I couldn't finish it. Great Job.
Good luck.
Yes very good, I managed to throw off the cargo the second I took off.
Great idea, polished look and feel. The aesthetics, gameplay and music works well together. Well done!
If you have time, I would really like to hear your thoughts on our game and get your rating ;)
Very impressive! Excellent work!
Very original idea. Love it!
Really fun game, full of personality! I got everything but the vase and the balloon across in regular mode, but had to turn on easy mode for the last two.
The tutorial was fantastic! Even if it wasn't teaching me how to play, I would have been happy to enjoy it as an intro to the gameplay.
The game itself is definitely tough, it felt like some trips were doomed to failure, where the waves were so rough that whatever I was trying to transport would get flung into the air. Probably I was just bad at it. :)
When I finally got the last cargo across, the vase, I returned to port and then the game froze up. This was in the browser version.
I really appreciated the controller support and all the options. Also the progress bar along the bottom! I wish I'd thought to use something like that for my game, instead of a basic timer.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, and for making it to the end of the game! I unfortunately submitted it with the ending condition bugged, but I will hotfix it once voting is complete.
Great game, the animated text was a good idea
Great game, the animated text was a good idea
Great game! Very well finished, you can see the attention to detail. I’ve been playing this for too long.
I really liked this game though it was super tricky! I know -- the point lol but woah! but it was a fun challenge and if that's the game people are into then they'll love this game. great job!
Really well made i can't believe it's a game jam game just wow there's nothing to criticize about this game impressive work Ivan
This was such a clever idea for the jam. I really enjoyed all the charm that was put into the game, from the intro sequence to the objects and the little messages at the bottom, the game felt like a lot of care went into it. I found it quite difficult for a lot of the objects, but still had a lot of fun. The only issue I encountered is sometimes the items would get launched before I had even set off and I couldn’t figure out why. Overall a really good entry!
Thank you for your kind words and support. It slipped through the cracks, but advancing the dialogue can cause the ultra mode to get stuck on! Argh. I'm glad you pointed it out. I'll put in a hotfix once voting is over. All the best!
No worries at all, hugs happen in game jams, great work!
Fantastic game! Really easy to play with very clear instructions and the overall style is just impeccable. I've tried to make something quite similar to this in another jam and couldn't get it to work half as good as this, I'd love to know how you got this water to work so well. Very enjoyable throughout, awesome job!
This was one of the most charming and fun games I've played in the jam! The pixel art visuals were beautiful and the way you did the dialogue with the profile of the character next to the speech lines reminded me of some of my favorite early PC games such as King's Quest and I loved that!
The main mechanic of balancing the cargo was fun and well-polished. The tutorial was perfect for learning how to play without dragging. I also appreciated the quality-of-life options such as the easy mode difficulty adjustment.
Fantastic project!
One of the most unique and fun games of the Jam, wish I was better at it :)
Awesome job.
Liked the unique mechanic of balancing the different shaped and different weighing cargo while waves were coming. The really cool story idea at sea was awesome, art looks really good and it was a fun game overall- really nice job on it!
I like the art and the environment of the game. It's very addictive and original.
