Would gladly appreciate if you could fix it somehow.
Oh and thanks for letting me throw bottles in the ocean in the first place. Apparently the police doesn't like it when you do it in real life. They say things like:
"Why is it always YOU and why always on MY lunch break!"
"I can see the uranium inside bottle, what do you think you're doing?"
(Don't throw bottles in the ocean, in case it wasn't obious)
Instead, use them for making cool sculptures or something.
DAMN. honestly, i could play this all night.. i LOVE everything about this game. i think the whole surviving on a boat after a flood destroyed the world concept is really cool and it's done really well here. i like the short backstory of the tap in the arctic.. i especially enjoy the message in a bottle writing mechanic where you can read what others have written and cast out into the flood as well as write your own thoughts to maybe be read by another player someday. i saw many different messages, from serious and emotional to funny and memey. i saw depressing notes and happy ones. i thought all of the writing prompts were great although maybe adding a few more wouldn't hurt. it was neat figuring out the games mechanics and building my boat up. great pixel art too. very deep and thought provoking experience for sure.
Would it be possible (without to much time and trouble) to update the mac build to run on an up to date os version? :) I can't get it running on Ventura 13.4.
Had an absolutely blast playing this. I understand the player base has dwindled, but if so, the game still did a great job of circulating older messages out to me so that it felt very vibrant and alive. I always felt like I might be just about to bump into another player's boat on the next screen. <3
I downloaded your game after stumbling on a tweet by the creator of this gem, and I'd like to say that it was a very pleasant and thought-provoking experience that few games have been able to pull off.
The game gets really hard once you get the motor and sails, because if you jump off to grab a box or whatever, the boat just speeds off. Can someone tell me how to stop the motor and how to end the game?
its interesting how you can't go backwards in the game. like it's all about letting go of these feelings, by writing the notes for those bottles, and then moving forward. seeing everything that everyone else has written feels less lonely. i hold this game very dearly to me.

About where the windmills are, the game crashes.
I don't know why.

Amazing!!
does anybody else still plays this?
Kind of. A few messages still come in every couple of days.
god dam
if anyone, that's me! I always sign my messages as CRB (caprain red beard) and write funny pirate messages to cheer everyone up ^^
this was a year ago btw q_q idk if u noticed
yes :3
Great game!

im confused, so do other actual players playing the game see my bottles, and i see their bottles?
pretty much

you can row backwards though-
rowing backwards doesn’t mean GOING back. once you reach a new “scene” or whatever you want to call it you can’t go back to the previous one.
ohh yeah i see, but you eventually loop back to the start, just with your new boat
I love this graphic style!!
