Pretty fun! I love the water physics, and the seagull sounds make the atmosphere way better. Small gripe: It's kind of hard to see if doors are open as they're so small and yellow clashes with white.

At the beginning I also had problems with the controls, but once you understood it, it was a lot of fun! Sometimes, however, the door was still closed even though it wasn't yellow. Maybe I didn't quite understand it all! Very good cencept!

Great Job!  ;-)

Had problems understanding the controls, but good game.

I really liked the idea of sinking ships like that! The water physics were also very cool! Only complaint is that the movement system is hard to control. Cool game!

Very creative concept! Bravo! The visuals are the most lacking aspect.

For the controls I would prefer free movement and press a button to open/close the closest door. Perhaps the player could be a mechanical spider able to climb walls and that's how you explain the up/down movement. Or you could just put ladders in.

Best wishes for your future work!

Cool concept idea!

At first I was struggling with the controls but when I got used to them it was fun.

Physics was nice.

Keep working on it...enjoyed it!

Very creative idea. This is one of the games that should be continued after the jam. A little bit of gameplay- and visuals-Upgrades and this can easily be released on steam.

Thank you for the great compliment! We definitely plan to polish/improve the game when the voting period is over. Glad you enjoyed it :)

Wow, i love how you implemented, how the ship can sink. But i would appreciate it if there was more player feedback, such as pickup and drops. I was confused whether i had dropped something or i was still holding it.

Nonetheless i had much fun playing your game.

Hi, thanks for the feedback! We plan on improving the game a bit after the rating period is over, and reworking some of the movement and controls. We'll also take the item pickup/drop into account :)
