Nightmarishly difficult and strangely wholesome. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Jokes aside, I was hoping for a strange experience from the title and banner of your game, and it definitely delivered. I spent 20 minutes on the game like it was a breeze, and I couldn't even get after the third board on the initial section. The fact that I kept trying so much is an amazing sign of a good Foddian game (and I'm planning to keep trying later today!).
The only thing I missed was an ambience sound. The game is very chill with the voice-over and ocean aesthetics, and I understand if you prefer no background music at all; but I think some ocean/wave white noise would be a huge complement to the overall feel of the game.
Amazing game, it's on my radar if you ever with to keep developing it.

Thank you for playing!
I made sure one of the hardest jumps in the game is right at the beginning, just to be sure to start the frustration as soon as possible, thats the jump you are referring to (third boat).
It totally has an ambience music (an underwater noise) but the volume is quite low so it is easy missed, I should definitely turn it up a bit!
Aah, I was playing without my headphones, so maybe that's on me. Although if I missed the ambience sound, it's probably too low, because the voice-over was in a pretty comfortable volume.
The hardest jump being at the beginning it's totally fine (I imagined this was a difficult spike by design), it definitely made me more invested in getting over it (ha) to see what the rest of the game is like. Again, amazing game (and voice over!). If I ever get after the first part, I'll share a screenshot at the game page hahaha.
