Awesome game! I loved the control mechanism. And the first part fo the game was really nice and relaxing. I could just play that all day :)
The graphics are clear, nice to look at. Commendable to make such a complex game. It got quite difficult in the last few parts of the game but beatable! Fun game. Great job!
This was a lot of fun. I really liked the way the controls work, though I would have liked to be able to switch the a and d keys, since it threw me off a little that the character would move the right paddle when I pressed the a key and the left paddle when I pressed the d key. I really liked the tutorial and the build-up to the next section. Great job!
Thank you for playing and the feedback! I wanted to add in two control schemes that the player could choose from: one for controlling the kayak directly and one for controlling the guy in the kayak, but I didn't have time to add in both control options and a way to switch between them.
That was really nice to play, the way you are escalating the tension and just the level of polish is top noch!
This was a really polished, well crafted game. I liked the introduction tutorial scene, and then it got out of control quickly. The control scheme was easy to pick up and I really appreciated the little messages at the start with how to control the boat. The art is simple but works really well and I really liked this game. Great job!
Nice game! I like the art for the water, and the music fits the mood of the game. Having safe spots on the lava sections worked really well! The control scheme is different and easy to learn, but challenging when it needs to be. Great entry!
The controls work really well (although I struggled with my azerty keyboard). I also love the anticipation built for what's next, with the nice mood, messages, etc...
The feedback for the temperature could be better (and more funny probably), but the art, although quite simple, works quite well.
Good job :)
Thank you! I agree about the temperature feedback. The next thing on my todo list was going to be a burning sound effect for the kayak in the lava sections.
