Extra Notes
I found out about Pirate Software through YT shorts. Those motivational ones where Thor says "just go and build something" just clicked for me. I'm a software dev/lead with 10+ years of experience and I work with web technologies, but I got into software because I wanted to make games. Thanks for this, this was a fun way to spend my evenings for the last 2 weeks.

Somehow simultaneously really stressful and really relaxing. This is a neat simple idea fully realized. I really do not see a way to improve on this just really solid all around.
Thank you for your kind words!
I wanted to make something very short, so it doesn't take too much of people's time when trying out. However I think I might have overdone it and now it's too short/simple :)
Really fun idea! Once I calmed down a little and played a little slower I really got into the feel of it.
My only question, the guy who put all these minds in this pond really has a problem, THE GALL! Just trying to float a paper boat here and BOOM!
I know, right? Whoever that person is, they're having a loose screw.
I think the start is a bit too stressful until you figure out the controls. It's something to improve next time.
Fun little game, challenging to navigate through the mines that keep spawning more and more.
VERY addictive game, well done <3
Thank you very much! "Fun" and "addictive" is very nice to hear :)
A very short-yet-fun addition to the jam! I kept hitting into mines but that's because I'm bad, but in terms of notes on things to improve honestly there aren't any other than maybe a way to regain health? The music is great and very fitting, the artstyle is really cute and the gameplay is simple but effective. Also liked the sound effects when picking up mines.
Great job on developing this!
Thank you for playing and for your kind words!
very simple and easy to pick-up game, but surprisingly addicting. Music is super catchy too, I may be whistling that later
Thank you very much for checking the game out!
I'm glad you liked the music I picked for the game.
The sound and music is from Humble RPG Game Dev Bundle from 2018!
