It would have been nice of my raft could be destroyed. Imagine getting hit by a rock and your raft splitting into two. You now have two rafts you need to control at the same time. The game has some potential, well done :)

This seemed to miss the "out of control" theme.

Also, there was no incentive to build your craft anything but out horizontally. Building vertically does nothing. Just keep building horizontally and you'll collect every item.

There's no incentive to build your craft any particular way (such as rocks that might threaten to break your raft, etc.) No real goal or endpoint from what I saw.

Interesting take on the theme and a cool mechanic

Nice idea, very cool mechanic but some things were difficult to see and be aware of with the camera view. Hope you can update it

I got confused at first! but I think if u keep working on it a great game could come of the main idea! cheers for jamming and keep making games !!

Thanks! The plan was to have rocks in the water that would destroy the raft, but did not have the time to finish that.

There is something here but it needed some strategy or challenge. Also the music choice felt off.

Cool game! Feels like a great foundation for something more. Right now there's not much to do and it seems like the optimal strategy is to just place raft tiles in a horizontal line. Interested to see what form it takes with some more iterations!

Good execution, but I think it lacked a challenge factor. Something (enemies/obstacles) to destroy parts of the raft or the little people, that would keep you engaged and constantly trying to manage your resources

A nice idea! Would be great if it had some challenge, though - like some floating items doing damage to your raft, forcing you to repair it.

At first it was quite slow - it felt like the single person on the raft was intentionally evading every item, but such is the nature of randomness. When I got the second person it became much faster. Within a minute or two I’ve built a raft across the entire screen.

it's an interesting idea, but is there any strategy to how layout rafts?
