Fun game! While the controls were a little annoying to get used to, (I really wish you could go backwards and turn easier lol) I had alot of fun with it! It was calming just going around and collecting things while listening to the background music, upgrading the ship felt satisfying! I enjoyed the progression of it all :D

I really enjoyed this, quite calming - despite the dangerous situation! The gameplay is interesting and the art is well done (I liked the intro scene). I feel like a bit of a dummy but I didn't see any metal, and couldn't finish the game! Anyway, good work!

Nice take on a survival game. Relaxing as well as challenging. Also, I liked how you used the raft guide book as the Menu. Had a difficult time with the controls though.

Charming opening sequence! I liked the detail of having a night and day rythm (we thought alike). The controls were quite challenging for me. The background music was very relaxing and added to the experience :)

Nice little game.

It has a very relaxing/tranquil feel with the music and slowness of pace even though you are meant to be shipwrecked lol! So it just felt like more like a laidback exploration of the ocean... That is fine i like games like that the Globetrotter one in his jam for example. 

As someone else mentioned below though it was a nice 15 min experience. Once i got the motor and everything became a lot easier i almost didn't feel like firing the flare to be rescued.

Thanks!

this is an unique way to move around. Would be better if it is move responsive. I want to spam A and D and achieve SPEED

I hear you! Yeah during testing I found it way too easy to get materials, but maybe I sent it too far in the other direction. Thanks for playing!

705.19 seconds D: I aint no speedrunner. The controls reminded me of trying to learn to paddle a canoe for the first time! love the fishies :)

I'm going to be so honest, that's far better than I got and I made the game haha! I think my best was floating around 900ish? Thanks for playing!

Hey, we pretty much liked it. The controls should have been slightly more responsive and that'd be our ONLY feedback. Other than that, not a bad idea. Pretty much creative.

That was a nice 15m adventure. I liked how the constricted movement forced me to plan ahead and the serene atmosphere throughout the game.

Nice concept! And I love the reason why the boat sinks at the beginning^^ Sadly I paddled for a long time and never saw any metal necessary for the last three upgrades, I'm doomed to stay in the sea forever :')

Oh no! You accidentally broke the limitation haha! Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
