Haha, each message about how everything was going to be okay made me feel like something definitely was about to go wrong. I could've used a little more leniency on hitting rocks so I could feel a little more experimental. 

Developer

Thank you! That's a good point about the rocks. I think making it wreck on impact if you're going a certain speed could be better.

kind of funny the fact that you started just rowing your kayak than boom, rocks

Art was a tad charmin'. Definitely ragegamey so I didn't finish it. Still liked it though

This game should definitely have more visibility! You added a lot of features in such a short time:  interactive tutorial, checkpoints, recovery zones... great job!

I really enjoyed the relaxing part. I wish there was an entire game just like that! The music was spot on!

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I loved this game (although as a kayaker I am biased concerning the theme)! Super original and the art is good. Having an audio indication of when my person is getting too hot would be nice though.

Developer

Thank you! I totally agree with you on the audio for getting too hot.  That was the next thing on my todo list!
