Nice Game. I'm the 22th position yey. Can be easly adapted to android an ios and would make a fun mobile game

This was lovely! The audio and graphics really captured a chill tug-boat fishing vibe, but it contrasted with the slightly stressful gameplay. Great submission :D

Love the visuals and the music! Really sets up the mood, good job!

What a great game!! I love your idea and the graphics. Dragging all different kind of things onto the ship is just fun. It's a suprise everytime when I see what I'm dragging out of the water. Balancing the ship is really hard with bigger objects, but I think you balanced the gameplay well.

The only problem I had was with clicking objects. I understand that it should be hard, but it felt slightly too hard. But maybe it's just my bad eye-hand coordination.

Overall great game, really loving it!!

Awesome game! I spent about one hour playing this game :D

Very nice game!Absolutely love the music and art style!

araklaj 2018-08-14 07:27

Loved the game, feels very fun and cute, with good polish. Well done on the theme!

I do question the ethics of putting living creatures in little boxes, but I would lie if I would tell it's not fun! Very well done, loved it!

Hahaha... the frist try sank my ship with the first whale. Great game! Definately great mobile game, since mouse is a bit hard to hit the fish. Definately out of the box thinking here.

mister-kweh 2018-08-14 10:09

LOOOOOVE the fact that the music is dynamic with the tilt of the ship! Great concept!

fredmaaktgames 2018-08-14 10:11

This is by far my favourite game so far. I love the attention to detail, like the music changing pitch based on how you're doing and the fact that there is a (working) highscore link! Great job :)

optimatica 2018-08-14 12:03

Nice game, the high-score is a great reason to keep playing!

lienthealien 2018-08-14 13:30

I'm the fourth place yaaay, that boat ride song really put me in the mood to go the sea xD it was really fun to play :D https://i.gyazo.com/048857760b7d9a396cd1d5787eb5c635.png good job :)

Super strong entry, solid art, sound and gameplay. Good work!

plepletier 2018-08-14 13:31

Great Game!!! One of the best i see here! All on him is great, art, mechanic, ideia! Good job!

scott-purcival 2018-08-14 13:31

great game, very polished :D

simanis 2018-08-14 13:31

Really well polished. Feels smooth and has plenty of nice little details. Whoever did the art must be a very awesome person :D

Highscore! Ping me if anyone dethrones me and wants to challenge me!

That was one of the most intense experiences so far in this LD. I got very lucky with my grabs early, and knew that run was it. I had one last spot empty on the very left side of the boat with score of about 2050 and 15 seconds left on the clock. I started grabbing garbage. I knew I needed value of at least 150 to hit the top. I then grabbed a ~$180 fish but accidentally dropped it. I knew I had to stay calm and hope for the best. There were 5 seconds left on the clock. Then it happened. A $198 whale in my hand. I immediately put it in the left most spot without second thought - I should have held it until the last second. I placed it and freaked out. My ship started to tip over. With about 2 seconds left on the clock, the ship headed to its doom. Those two seconds were so intense - will it make it? Will it tip over? I didn't know. I screamed "SURVIVE! SURVIVE PLEASE!" At that point, I knew I had the highscore. The ship just had to survive. I think that half a second more would be enough for my ship to sink. Then the victory screen appeared and I was so happy that I made it.

The game is very good. All the aspects are so nice, it plays very well. And of course the lovely *splash* screen. And the puns. I am very sparse with my 5/5 ratings, but I think this game is the one that gets 5/5 overall and fun from me.

Great game. really nice graphics and gameplay. It seems really simple but has quite a bit of challenge Well done :smile:

2018-08-14 18:13

I really enjoyed this game and the high-score system was effective in making me want to play it over and over again. It's got all the components that I think are essential for a good game: simple game play, replay-ability, good sfx, and cuteness :^)

The concept is cool and I especially liked the reverse mermaid. The only downside as some has already mentioned is that it can be quite difficult to grab the floating blobs.

meltobis 2018-08-14 18:28

The graphics look great and it was a really cool mechanic to play, well done! :D

roman-petrov 2018-08-14 18:41

Cool and challenging game! On the first try I failed even on the first level. This game reminded me of the first game made by our team — Pocket Weights. I must show your game to other team members :) And thanks for leaving a comment on our game!

siimer 2018-08-14 18:55

A game with really solid gameplay, graphics, and audio. It also feels very polished, you could probably sell it on the app store and get loads of cash as it is now :D. One of my favorite games this LD.

karseth 2018-08-15 12:27

Such a nice game overall. I love it! Really fun I to play! :D (this definitely needs to get a mobile port!)

raccoon-js 2018-08-15 18:30

Nice game. I liked it.

ursagames 2018-08-17 10:14

Loved this game! The highscore replayability was very good. Loved the pixelart graphics too, super charming! Thank for sharing it with my stream! I think maybe the object spawn / float speed might have been a little fast and might have added some more strategy feeling to the gameplay if it was slowed down.

2018-08-17 17:13

This is the best game we seasaw tonight since it was the only one. Really missing out on webudp though. Please add. Thank You. Come AGain.

Tartu jslikes. :v:

Very nice game and really fun to play.

mykola 2018-08-24 18:59

Amazing game! The gameplay is great, it's polished and diverse enough. The graphics is top points, one of the best I've seen so far here. Together with really fitting music and sound effects they create a really natural immersive atmosphere. The soundtrack is great, I really like how the pace changes with the angle of the ship. One thing that might also be related to the ship's angle is the speed of the passing objects. They could go faster or slower in tact with the music to stress the connectivity of game elements even more and to diversify the gameplay a little bit. But overall, the game is one of the best I've played so far and deserves the highest points. Well done guys!
