Thank you! We're glad that you had fun with the game! We loved the idea as well haha, every discussion about the design of the game would result in a hour of laughter and crazy ideas being thrown around

Where's ma boat? 


Hilarious concept. Good fun.

Developer

I'm glad that you had fun! Thanks for playing. Oh... I see you discovered our secret ending... The ending where the captain leaves everybody (probably by flying away with the boat after touching a wave) and goes away from the screen haha

Yeeting people out of boat to go further? I dont know why but that make my day :D Great game...

Developer

Haha that's awesome to hear! :D thanks for the nice comment

Haha took me a while to get the hang of it but great game overall. Loved the amazing pixel art.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I think Haioner did a fantastic job with the pixel art!

At the first wave my boat got catapulted out of the window and after that, the people tooked the boat on there backs and swam 10/10. No but nice little game, but you can cheat with the guy, which jumps when you press space. You can throw him of the boat press space and repeat

Developer

thanks for playing our little master piece haha. All of these "boat getting catapulted" and "definitely not a debugscript left in game that lets you reset a person position" things are amazing well thoughts features, and not bugs at all for sure 100% no doubt

Cool idea! It was a little confusing at first. The boat physics got super wonky sometimes but it gave me a good laugh :)

Developer(+1)

We felt the same way haha. Since we didn't have enough time to learn and deal with Unity Physics system, we ended up not implementing tutorials or even a intuitive UI, and the bugs cause by it - oh, I mean- the FEATURES implemented by it  had us laughing out loud! I'm glad you had the same experience!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Good thing our buggy boat can bring some laughter and joy into the world :D 
I laughed pretty hard when I found out a few minutes before the deadline, how wonky the boat physics actually was, haha.

Amazed by your pixel art skills! Definitely 5 stars for visuals and design. Great game that fits the theme, with the only drawback of being too short.

Developer

Thanks ! Happy to know that you enjoyed it! And  yeah we wanted it to be longer as well :(

This was a fun one :) With a game banner like that, I already knew what I was getting into.

The game is quite simplistic, I would like it to have a couple more mechanics or at least a faster paced game. Other than that it was quite allright.

I don't like anonymous votes, so here is my rating.

Keep up the good work!


Developer

Glad you liked it. Yeah, we hoped to have more mechanics like interactions with seagulls and dolphins, but we ran out of time :D 
Thanks for the transparent rating!

Hey your Mac version don´t work. i will check out later your game on my windows. :) PS: had the same issue like you but don´t have an idea how to get it run. :(

Developer(+1)

Oh, sorry you couldn't run the game. We'll take a look into it and see if we can fix it. 

Submitted

I like this game! Great art and gameplay! Good job!

Please check my game as well ;)

Developer

Thanks : ) ! Glad you liked it.  I'll check your game as well later today.

Dude! I gotta learn pixel art from you! :D. Fits the theme perfectly. Write somewhere that we have to click the people/boat to throw people off. I kept pressing buttons. But the game was good, especially the visuals. 

What about the Spacebar? Why does that guy keep jumping?

Developer(+1)

Yeah, we ended up not having enough time to finish the UI and the instructions to play the game haha. Glad you liked it tho! The art was made by Haioner (https://haioner.itch.io/) .
