Nice idea! Somewhat chaotic but fun, my best kind of chaotic. It might be nice if it had some levels and it would be easier on the beginning ones so users get ahold of the boat. I obviously crashed soon :D
However, somehow I managed to get someone surviving going along the coastline and arrived to the end... only to I miss the goal on the right side, so I didn't win. I deserved that for cheating, hahaha
Thank you for trying it out! Unfortunately, we didn't leave enough time for the level design part, and will fix the issues as soon as it is possible.
This one was pretty neat. Nice use of the theme. I liked the art. It's a little short, but fun regardless.
Thanks! We will definitely add more levels in the future.
Oh wow this game has a very similar core mechanic and setting to ours! I like how two teams can make games with similar mechanics and they can become so wildly different :'D. The art and sound design are amazing and it's incredibly impressive that you made it all within the 48hour jam. Play ours and we can compare notes!
Gave yours a play. Huge fan. Really cool take on the theme, and love how it turned out (and how both similar and different they are). Thanks for trying ours too!
fun game, great mechanics, beautiful art
Thanks so much! We're glad we were able to pull it off before the deadline. Thanks for checking it out!
Excellent concept and very well-polished! The controls are chaotic and fit the theme well, but still manageable enough to be fun. The art and music are wonderful. This is a great game, well done!
Pretty fun game with an original idea. It's quite easy to get stuck at the side of the river and the only solution is to restart, but all in all the concept is well executed and the graphics are really good looking.
Well done, greetings from HU! ;)
Thank you for the feedback and we definitely rushed the level design. Our artist worked really hard on the assets so thank you for taking notice!
Many games have used this approach of losing action inputs, but yours has done it quite nicely! Really enjoyed!
Of course, because it is a jam game, it still has a lot to improve, but it has the potential to become a very solid game! Congratulations, I really liked it!
Your positivity really encourages us to improve the game so thanks! 😁
the art is impressive o:
loved the idea of having to worry about who's dying while worrying about which control is which
good job!
Thanks so much! Was fun to make. And glad you liked the game too!!!
One time all my rowers died and I still made it to the finish line :D It was quite a nice game, took a while to get a hang of the controls, but once I did, it was fun and challenging. It's a pretty cool and interesting mechanic to change the rowers. I also liked the artwork and audio. Good job! :)
Thank you for the kind words! I hope you had fun making your game as well! :D
We did this all in time! YAY. :)
