Great work! The core movement of the game is really satisfying to do, I think yo ureally nailed it. The gameplay felt hard at first, but was enjoyable to do once I learned how to engage with it. The random generation added a nice amount of replayability. One thing I wished to see was some more clarity in boatless swimming controls - didn't quite figure out how to navigate that.

Thanks! Yes, I noticed while playtesting that it took a few minutes to really grasp how to steer with only left and right, but fortunately the movement seems to feel satisfying once you “get it”.
And you’re right: I had like 6 different boatless swimming controls programmed and only decided on the best one last minute, so I completely forgot to add it to the tutorial ;)
