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!
Relaxing game thanks to the music and smooth animation !
Amazing! I like the flow of the game, managed to save them fishes for 02:06
Loved playing this game
Love the concept and how relaxing it is to play! Great job!
A very nice concept! Nice to see that you got a similar idea about the wind, but with a more confrontational spin. Also, the atmosphere is very pleasant and serene. Well done!
4: 24 here, I'm feeling like Poseidon B)
That's such an inventive idea, congrats to you guys for making it work! The long text tutorial was a bit overwhelming for me at first, but I was well worth reading. Loved how peaceful it feels - the soundtrack contributes a lot for that.
Well done you all!
Thanks for the feedback!
The original idea of management. Pleasant sounds. It's a pity I didn't understand the purpose of the game :(
The purpose of the game is to simply prevent the ship to catch the fish for as long as you can. :D
Cool idea and mechanics! Game was really laggy and almost unplayable though running it on a web browser, and I couldn't find a download link
