How does your game fit the theme?
We have made a simple ship game that sails in a calm and a storm phase of the game, you gather resources during the calm phase and survive against tornados in the stormy phase.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
The code has been written from scratch, some royalty free assets have been used.

Good work. My only major issue is, it`s not very clear when the boat has taken damage. A sound effect or animation for that would make the game feel much better.
Really liked the ship drifting mechanics - felt pretty smooth. Also enjoyed the art style and the stark contrast between resource gathering vs the actual storm; very difficult to drift between those typhoons! Nice game!
Thank you very much for playing!
I somehow managed to find Champpeace trick before I read the comments lol.
10/10 would outrun swirly water bois again
Nice game! The art looks great especially the storm one. The feeling on the calm part is more into float and fly rather than sailing i think.
I love the ship art, viking style ship make me remember when I was sailing in valheim with my friend and sink lol.
I'm not a very good navigator because I kept missing the barrels, but I guess I'm lucky when it comes to avoiding whirlpools. I tried @Champpeace's trick and I, too, lived forever :D
I love the title and it gives a mysterious feel of why you are in this endless ocean. Perhaps some dialogue can add story to the game . Like your ship is cursed to sail the oceans forever and instead of just scoring by avoiding whirlpools, you can also score the player by how long they can stay afloat :D
Hi, thank you very much for the feedback, now that you’re saying it, you’re right, the game misses some lore. I had a team of great guys that I have been working with, and I can only speak for myself, this was the first ever game for me and I had a blast.
Thank you very much for playing and rating, your feedback is highly appreciated :)
I found out that upgrading your sail like twice on the first day and then holding A and W forever lets you live forever... Other than that it's pretty good.
Wait, what? I will try this. What's at the end of the sea? Is it a world without land?
Nothing you just can't die because the whirlpools never catch up to you
Yeah, we forgot to upload the patched game before the game jam finished :) But once the game jam is over, we might work on polishing the game, Thank you for playing our game
I was able to do the same trick without upgrading the sail at all. Nice idea for a gameplay loop though.
Very nice. I got into upgrading my ship, but lacked the feedback when i touched whirlpools. Didnt even notice that my ship got damage (: Still amazing game gJ!
Hey, thank you very much for the feedback, this is a very valid point that I have put on a list of things that the game falls short of.
Thank you very much for playing and for rating it!
This game is like a fever dream (in a good way) really nice art and theming and upgrades !
very interesting concept! i think you nailed the theme, the background is a little distracting but theres a lot to appreciate in the visuals :] awesome work!
Interesting, liked the feeling of dodging during the storm and the controls felt clean. The visuals look good especially during the storm, overall nice job!
Hi, hope you had a blast during the jam. You say simple ship game, yet the first I see and play and it feels correct! the background is annoying to watch though. But great submisson!
Try Tornad.io aswell and leave a comment about what you think about it! :)

Fun game overall. Would spend my life savings if improved upon
It was a bit confusing that the itch.io page has the same background than the game :^/
But the sprites were made quite nice :)
