There is something satisfying in how the boat controls. Really nice graphics and the narration was great!

Interesting. I liked the depth and detail of the environment, and the monsters felt like a very legitimate threat. The controls seemed odd, and I think that having keys for rotation and acceleration rather than directions might have been a better fit. It took me a while to find Mjölnir and after that the voiceovers for "found Mjölnir" and "the gate is open" overlapped. That said, the voiceovers really helped set the stage. Just earlier today I was lamenting my lack of a smooth yet rugged narrating voice and here I find a prime example of what I was talking about.

Thats a good game! Its fun and the sound are really good! Maybe more levels and dificult will be perfect ^^

I love the graphics, the audio, the whole world in a book. The boat felt a bit hard to control, but everything else was fantastic. Well done!

I really enjoyed this, I love the "small world" setting in the book, the voice over, and the low-poly art was really well done!

The kraken was great, I got mjolnir just in time to avoid it with the spacebar. This definitely has a lot of potential for something more after LD!

Very original entry, I like that! :D

I've been nicely suprised with the voice to hear about the story, and with the details you provided, like the names next to the islands.

There have been 2 things that killed it a bit to me. The first thing was the replay that restarted completely, restarting ingame would have been nice. And the second thing was about the controls of the boat, I've been quite surprised that turning left or right was also moving the boat forward.

ah this was lovely. The art is gorgeous, and the narrator is an awesome touch, nice music as well.

My only complaint is that is a little bit too easy. The movement might be better (for me at least) if it were relative to the local rotation instead of the camera.

Great job!!

As with others, I felt the boat controls were a bit wonky. I did think however, that this was a game with amazing graphics, audio and quite fun for how short of a game it was. The theme was also fit in a very innovative way, so props for that.

The control took me sometime to understand, a bit confusing. In the beginning I was alternatively pressing left-right to move forward like I was rowing.

The narrative and theme of the game is really good, and the story enjoyable enough. I would love to see a more refined version with detailed stories about the relics and how we got it/or how it was placed there.
