I liked the idea of the game and that it felt very interactive.  Good sound making me feel more immersed.

Love that you have the ability to fly so you don't feel trapped on the boat. The fishes jumping up on the ship was a cozy mechanic. I was a bit unsure what the fish did, and where I was going but I assume the mountain was my goal and the fish needed to be kept away from the boat to reduce the ships weight.


Fun take on as small as possible!

Very banger, liked fish jumping on board and a ring on the wheel was very intuitive way of showing direction. Fun mechanics!

Gameplay wise very fun and even graphically speaking is nice, I really like how the environment looks. Pretty good looking game for a 3 day game jam.

This was fun, great job! I’m curious what book this is based on?

Thank you ^^ The Novice by Trudi Canavan - for the gameplay part at least. Black Magician is a great series through and through!

Good ship physics - I like that the wheel slowly returns to center (if it doesn't, you're about to capsize!)

Not sure how you keep fish from weighing down the boat (didn't even realize they sank it at first, but that's on me for not reading).

Really like the visuals in this one, although the ragtime music is a bit at odds with it.

Would make for an excellent peaceful sailing game with a bit of polish!

Thank you for playing it! You push the leeches with same button as you drag the steering wheel - left mouse button. I should’ve added a pop-up for it… but wanted to go fancy with detecting input method but ended up scraping the idea entirely:p
