Cute game! Well done!
Very nice game :) The story, artwork, and day-night transitions capture the feel of being at sea. The characters are fleshed out well. You get attached to them surprisingly quickly. When the raft hit the beach the feeling I had was: it’s over too soon :) Thank you for making this!
Thank you for playing! :)
A sweet story with some nice character development. I liked the cinematic approach you took to make the ocean look different in different weather conditions.
Never thought I'd be moved by a yellow circle - I don't think I've played such a story-driven game from a game jam before - very nice!
Thank you for playing :)
It actually moved me a bit ! Proves that you don’t need much to make an engaging story
Amazing game nice work
Thank you! It's nice to see you again :)
Yeah you too
That was a very strange experience (in a good way), I don't know what else to say about it other than it was engaging for sure.
Liked it, felt like I was "playing" a book. A little sad at first but it got better, great job!
