I love this concept and it felt really relaxing to play, controls took a minute to understand but once that happened I found it relatively easy to play!
I think the idea is very creative and the music is really well made :]
Love that you included UI indicators for the wind and sea!
Creative and deceptively challenging. I love the two different forces you control, it was a cool dichotomy and a simple yet complex control scheme. I also liked that since you aren’t controlling the ship/fish directly, sometimes it’s hard to get them to do what you want. With the debris as well, there’s a lot of strategy for such a simple game. I do think it might work better on a larger, scrolling map, through, so you don’t get trapped on the edge. Nice job!
Cool reversal of fishing games. I really enjoyed it!
I see the fisherman is having a bad day today.
Good background music tho.
Worked out such little things as pointers to fish and the direction of the wind and water flows.
Good job.
wow the water looks really good
I found the concept and visual elements of the game enjoyable, totally dig the water, this is actually the first game I see in the jam about boats and water so kudos on the creativity too!
overall a solid entry, great work!
Water and boat look amazing! Being the waves and wind was a super cool role reversal! It really made me feel like I was working against someone hahahaha
This was a difficult game. It was hard to control the wind and the boat. I did get the garbage once. Yahoo!
I enjoyed the game. I like your wind direction UI but I was confused with the tide direction.
Very fun!
Love the idea and execution. Thoroughly enjoyed pushing the ship around the ocean as it tried it's best to get to the nearby fish. Took me a bit to notice I can control both the wind and tide.
Very cool game! The water looks amazing
Fun to play and great execution of the theme!
I liked the idea and the visuals. I wish the game focused solely on the Wind mechanics, because I had a hard time using the water on my advantage, while the wind had quite an impact in an interesting way. Great work
Nice game, very relaxing!
This is a really nice concept- I love the two handed controls and could see this translating really nicely to a controller/gamepad. The music matches the vibe perfectly, and I really appreciate that the wind and waves both take time to react to inputs-this makes it feel much more realistic. Nice work!
Took a while for me to understand that you've made the effort to include hints in the UI. I enjoyed it very much after that. I can imagine other ships and NPCs in the game, had you had more time.
On a side note: the game was a hellfire of lags on Safari, but ran smooth as butter on Chrome.
Thanks for letting us know about Safari. Its true we haven't tried it on Safari.
Liked the concept, very interesting one and really relaxing :)
wow super cool, i thought of doing this as well great execution
Super relaxing with beautiful visuals!
