oof this is a hard game ^^' The theme is very cleverly applied here and i love the feeling of going around. I see you have made it kinda difficult to control on purpose and i agree it makes the game feel a lot better! although the camera could be a little more confortable to move around .
Couple of problems: the last part where the kraken attacks you is a little too hard for me ^^' i can't dodge fast enough and heal at the same time... Also sometimes you get stuck on a rock and drains your hp super fast.
But this is a game jam so don't worry, this is a really good entry. This might be the entry i played the most time so that must be good!

Glad it had you hooked to enough to play it for a while!
For the kraken fight I'd definitely reccomend having the sails down for most of the fight, putting them up only when you need to quickly manoeuvre out of the way of some incoming tentacles. But I've probably played that fight more than anyone at this point, so I've worked out a few tips and tricks! :P
The collisions in general, especially with the rocks, is something we wish we had more time to clean up, for now we justify it as forcing you to make sure you're keeping an eye on your heading and properly balancing steering with the other mechanics on the ship, but it can definitely be a little more punishing than intended at times!
