This was a fun little package. Really enjoyed the gameplay loop, although the audio de-sync is pretty glaring. It looks nice as well!

Nice one! I really appreciate the tutorial. The visuals of the storm also felt great. Overall a nice polished fun experience. Great job.

Cool game about being punished for looting crates at see and being destroyed by heavy drain!

Nice game, graphics are consistent and cute, and the storm makes things more intense.

I'd give an option to switch to tank controls though, cause it threw me off when navigating quite often with the up/down/left/right scheme.


There's also hidden colliders which made it annoying to navigate, and taking damage for no reason was frustrating.

Not sure if its the storm "bumping" your ship, but it should be visualized with waves VFX, that visually moves toward your ship so you can avoid it with some skill.


I'd suggest making the cargo pickups automatic as the player gets close instead of having to keep pressing E.

A timer for the storm would also be good, and a compass showing the direction to the other harbor so players can focus on collecting the boxes.

Other than that, with some polish it could be a really nice game.

Nicely done! Looks great and the boat controls feel really good. Sometimes i had the feeling like ramming invisible objects during the storm phase but i guess this is intended and should be seen as wind or waves that hinder you while steering? Anyways good job :)

the overall game is wonderful but the fact that i didn't know when the storm was going to come was very harsh for me but it is just personal preference

Really cool game that has a couple things that hold it back from being great. I'm not sure who did what on the game but the soundtrack is very good. It is unfortunate that there is some issue with the storm mode where it does not trigger the storm music correctly until the last second. It sounds really good for the short duration I could hear it. The graphics are very good. The cycle to the storm has a good amount of bugs though. It seems like its coded so you can't pick up things during the storm but it causes some strange lockout behavior where you have to wait a full cycle again to be able to pick things up again. It is difficult to actually trigger the dropoff of the cargo when you arrive to the dock. I'm not sure if you're actually able to lose by hitting things or going on shore but it didn't seem like it. It would make the storm feel more compelling if you could. The choppy water is a cool feature. I would've liked more sound design surrounding what you crash into, the boat moving through the water, cargo coming aboard the ship, etc. Overall, really solid and just needs a few tweaks.

Wow, what a fun game ! The boat controls feels really great ! the only thing that I found kind of missing was the sound  fx during the storm phase, but that aside it was really fun !

Congrats on making all of your assets too which should be taken into account in the ratings in my opinion, that's really not that simple to do !

Submitted

Fun game to play.

Would maybe be fun to have a simple warning before the storm is coming so that you can prepare by heading to the port so you don't miss the sell window by accident.
What I also found a bit weird was how you could not pick up boxes during the storm or sell your stuff during the calm period.

Apart from that it was a fun game with smooth controls.

Very good game! I had fun with it.
The art is nice and I liked how the storm really messes with your control of the boat.
It feels really polished as well, great work!

Submitted

This is a really well scoped and polished jam entry!  I the graphics are charming, I liked the style of your volume slider, you have a great in game tutorial, the screen shake during the storm helps sell the impact and I like how the boat can flop around.  It made me smile when the storm really knocked it around!

Two pieces of feedback I have are I wish the tutorial text scrolled a bit faster or you could press a button to make it all appear at once. I read pretty fast so it had me waiting a bit.  I'd also consider adding a brief period of invincibility after being damaged, maybe only a fraction of a second or so.  You can take a lot of damage pretty quickly in this game. 

Awesome job!

I loved the graphics and music is also good. Game looked super polished as well. I would maybe make storms more punishing because I could just sail to open area and wait until storm comes away.

Submitted

I liked that feeling of storm and the unresponsivness it creates making you feel it more like storm. Also lovely graphics! Good luck!

Submitted
