Fun little game, but very tiring for the hands. I'm glad you decided to actually include WASD and the arrow keys, as you use this to switch hands seamlessly. The game is still pretty tough though, but the concept is nice and I like the interpretation of the theme. Good job!

Interesting idea, but I'd say the current is a bit too strong and changes too quickly. Perhaps there can be a small pause in current as it changes from one direction to the other. Some UI to indicate my progress would be nice as well.

Slam of GermsManaged to beat it, though there were plenty of close shaves :p I really like how the rocks pull you in, makes things a lot more interesting.
The waves did not immediately register to me as obstacles -- it took a couple tries before I realized what was going on. Not sure how you'd make that more clear, maybe debris riding on the waves that crashes into your ship?
Nice work :)

SproingerI had a fun time playing this! everything fit together well! good job!

ControlmenGreat idea and execution, control seems a bit weird in the beginning, but when I got into I did some Matrix style dodge maneuvers, really satisfying
I didn't know in the beginning if this would be an endless game or not, an Indication for that would be nice ( I still managed to get to the shore)
Nothing to complain about other than that :)

Remote DefenceIt was fun playing your game! I really like the art style and out of control movement.! If you like this idea, keep working on it! Awesome job submitting a challenging game to this jam and i hope you improve your game making skills :) If you have time, please check out my game :D

Black Hole DefenseFun game! Just hard enough to control to make it challenging but not too hard that it's frustrating. I had fun :)

JumBean's Great EscapeYay a rowing game! I was beginning to think we were the only ones who submitted one for this jam :'D. We really wanted to add a wind mechanic in our game but I think it works better in this game than it would in ours. I think the only thing to really be worked on is what other people are commenting which is just having something to measure the players success outside of how far they get just to add a bit more depth. Still a very cool game!

Buoy TroubleThis was a really nice little game. I've barely seen any games this jam that go with the idea of the wind constantly changing but it's a smart mechanic and made the game out of control without feeling unfair. This could become a really fun game if the idea was explored more after the game jam. Great job!

Restaurant RecklessI went pretty far I think (the corridor of rocks)
Like that game very much!
Some kind of progression indicator (a score, or a map) would be a good addition
The feeling of being almost in control but not really is on the nose!
And the sfx are nice!

Chaos SolitaireGreat game! Would add to the commets about adding a score/timing... just to compare between plays.
