This game is really hard but really fun! I only managed 18 seconds. I found the controls pretty intuitive and while the game is simple I still couldn't figure out a good strategy after 10 minutes or so.

I like the visuals and the SFX give a good amount of feedback to the player. Nice work!

Very enjoyable. Perhaps a touch more explanation for people who haven't rowed a boat before - the fact that a-s-d and l-k-j together is 'forward' whilst d-s-a and j-k-l is 'backward' - might help people get the hang of it a little sooner!

I really tried but I could not figure out how to work it. Sometimes the boat wouldn't row even when I inputted the buttons in the correct order without accidentally messing it up by going fast. I feel like it's just inconsistent. Could be due to keyboard ghosting but I'm not entirely sure that this was the reason. But even if it was, it just kind of makes the game unplayable

Scored 00:48, the controls took some getting used to but it felt satisfying to get somewhat of a handle on it!

The game looks nice and I like the engaging controls! I just feel that the boat turning in the wrong direction is unnecessarily confusing.

Very original controls that make it challenging but fun to control and fits well with the theme.
