Wow, I love the atmostphere you created! The visuals were simple but effective. I had some trouble picking up passengers since the shape of the terrain made me slide away. But overall good job and congrats on the submission 😎

I loved the dark, yet calm atmosphere! This definitely not a racing boat, but feels good in this scene. Maybe you could block the boat from doing land surfing by adding some colliders or surface recognition. Keep working on it!
I think this is a great idea that you could really build on. You've already created a great moody atmosphere with the visuals. The music was a great choice as well. Also, something about those water ripples really took me back to WindWaker. Awesome job
Nice! The physics were appropriately boaty and I feel like land-sailing is a legitimate tactic! If you were to develop this further, I think a fun direction you could take it in would be comedic and over the top frantic action - put a motor on the back of Charon's boat, make the steering more responsive and add a bunch of ramps and obstacles in the water and stuff on land to crash through (slap some wheels on the hull, too) ;) You'd just have to careful about Sega's Crazy Taxi patents :P
Played and rated.
Overall the game was relaxing to play, and the music is great!
I've noticed in the gif we can pickup ghosts, but I didn't know it in the game. The steering speed is very hard to control which was not a fun experience for me. If the speed is faster and we can surf in style, I think that would make the game way more interesting! :)
Would appreciate if you check out and rate our game as well: https://hadilepanda.itch.io/rise-of-necromancy
