Let people know how long this project has been going, or share a bit of its history.
This game was originally submitted to No Video Jam in August 2020 with the theme "waves".

To get the original concept to work with my 2D game engine, I hacked a lot of pseudo-3D logic on top of it. Since then I've learned a lot about vectors and quaternions and upgraded my engine to fully support 3D. This project was left in a messy state that took months to refactor.

This month I was finally able to begin work on incorporating player feedback and building new features for a more complete experience (including graphics—the screen was completely blank until v1.1.0). I'm excited to Finally Finish these post-jam updates. However, it's reinvigorated my interest and shown me there's so much more to add!

Sometimes i fall through the Map i felt like and i couldnt get up to the Waves anymore.

The Effects are really Awesome, i had a great Time Surving over the Waves.

Maybe some Additions to the Game or just a Simple Relaxing Game then some other Ambience Music with different Colors.

Color Changes would be incredible during the Play, based on Speed or something.


Nice Work really Eye Candy

Hi! Blast from the past. Thanks so much for your feedback. I just wanted to let you know that I’ve taken your feedback to heart and incorporated it into some of my recent updates. These include a colorful day-night cycle, new musical elements, and a fix for the issue you described. The game is still free at this time, and you can even download it on Steam this week during Steam Next Fest. Cheers!

The sounds were very good; I found them very relaxing as I explored and navigated through the main areas! There were some moments I got stuck on, if I'm gonna be honest (the keys were a little bit overcomplicated, but it is a complicated vehicle anyway haha). Nonetheless, great work!

One of those games which is probably amazing but I am just to dumb to understand them! Find y video review below:

Thanks for playing! You’re definitely not dumb. It was good to have fresh perspective from a first playthrough. For a 17-game marathon you had the proper amount of patience. In a relaxed session you may find more subtlety. But I’m grateful that you showcased quite a lot in a short time: the game page, manual, menu system, the main areas, and a few spoilers. Cheers!

I really like the concept of this, I won't give away too much seeing as you have things behind spoiler warnings on the page. That being said I wouldn't have known what to do without checking them!

Exploring was highly enjoyable, what a unique way to navigate and build a picture of the world. Very atmospheric and just the right amount of eerie. But still relaxing!

If you wanted to keep the mystique and also make the game more accessible, how about giving the player all the controls, but not telling them what the "secret" ones do! The player then knows that there's more to this than meets the eye and they can take their time exploring and finding out for themselves. However this could also end up being frustrating so it would need to be done right.

Excellent work! :D

You nailed the visuals and the sound, and really transported me to this strange landscape for the time I was playing. I wasn't entirely sure what to do, but that's probably on me. Nice work!
