Simple but well presented. I felt like I was playing "Gusty Glade" from Donkey Kong Country 2 because of the shift in the wind :D The waves are a nice touch

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Great 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 :)

Developer(+1)

Yea the progress indicator is a big miss on my part, I'll be keeping that in mind for future games

Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

Submitted

It 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

Developer

Thanks for playing! Will check out your game

Submitted

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

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Oddly relaxing for so much chaos.

Developer

Hehe, must be the audio :p

Thanks for playing!

Yay 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!

Developer(+1)

Haha, I came into this jam wanting to make a rowing game :p


Glad you like it and thanks for playing!

Submitted

Check out ours and we can compare notes!

Submitted

This 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!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

I 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!

Developer(+1)

You did get pretty far, that corridor was the last obstacle!

Submitted

Haaa I had the feeling. I'll come back to the game to finish it then ^^

Submitted

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

Developer

Glad you like it. Yeah a progress bar was a quick win that I didn't think of before the jam ended :(

Submitted

Really love the idea and you've captured the feeling of struggling against the elements perfectly :-)

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Awesome to know you like how the game feels

Submitted

Nice game, simple and challenging

Developer

Really happy you liked it!

Liked it. Nice visuals, simple mechanic. Would like to see what this could evolve into.

Developer

Glad you like it!

Submitted

big fan of the presentation, the little details go a long way

Developer

Glad you like it! Tried to focus on game feel for this jam, really happy you like it!

Submitted

Nice game! Maybe adding a score would make it more interesting.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Yeah, the game has an ending, so I did not put a score. Unfortunately, I did not think of putting a progress bar that shows how far you are from the end until after reading the comments :/

Will definitely pay more attention to this next time. Hope you enjoyed it though!

Submitted

Oh! I thought it was an endless game. I should check out the ending.

Submitted

Great take on the theme! could be a fun mobile game with a few more mechanics!

Developer

Glad you like it!

Submitted

The art is really good and dealing with the wind is quite fun! I love the way the wind was painful in my first runs, but after a few tries, it becomes a good ally for dodging obstacles.

Developer

Awesome! I tried to accompany all the forces acting on the ship with a visual que, glad to hear that the wind's visual feedback is clear!

Submitted

Dig the style alot , some coins / power ups would be great :) over all Great game!

Developer(+1)

Hey, that's a neat idea 🤔

Submitted

Pretty cool. Some kind of scoring would be nice. Even as simple as showing the distance from the start or the time. That way a player would know if they're getting better.

I think this could potentially be a fun little mobile game with some adjustments

Developer

Yea you're right about the progress, should have definitely put a progress bar to show you how close you are to reaching shore.
The game does have an ending, I should have made that more clear.
Live n' learn.
Hope you enjoyed it none the less

👍

Really nice storm/rain sounds. Some paddling and crashing into water sounds would be a good addition. The art style was really nice. 

Developer

Really glad you like the art!
You're right about the sound effects, I should give audio more love next time

Submitted(+1)

You did an excellent job considering the time constraint, for sure audio helps with play experience tho especially giving any game mechanic related audio. I would appreciate it if you could give ours a play and let us know what you thought of it? 

Submitted

Really fun! Looks and sounds great too.

Developer

Glad you like it!
