Controls are difficult, I think it needs some tuning, but the game is really fun! Also, game art is nice!

How does your game fit the theme?
Its about sailing calm Caribbean Seas and finding a safe port before the storms come in.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I did all the code and some of the assets. Most assets come from asset packs on itch or other free asset websites.

This was good fun.
- Liked the concept of detailed steering mechanics: dependence on wind direction, difficulty of getting out of a steer, etc.
- Found it difficult to achieve a good steering in practice, but got better after a couple of attempts and shipwrecks.
- Learnt how to turn slowly by paying attention to the red bands, control ship speed by raising the sail, then lowering again.
- In the third attempt I got better. It was good fun outrunning a couple of storms, and finding a dock without losing any HP.
- Felt great to finish the game!
It takes some learning to become a good sailor, but was worth it :) Well done!
