Thanks for checking out my game! I agree that the gust reload was too slow (it was a band-aid fix for another issue). The wind directions were backwards because of 2 reasons, firstly that is how one would describe wind (a northern wind comes from the north, in english at least) and secondly I had some original ideas of the game being about reversing the ships path to move it from destination to origin. I agree that it is not very intuitive and confuses players, I probably should have just made right send boats right haha.
The air balloon does nothing :P
