Highest I got was 124. It does feel way more luck based than skill based just due to the way the pull feels and the driftwood comes in.

Cool game, got me fixed for some time trying to last longer, but i found it pretty hard, and i did like it that way, even if it would be cool some way to win the game, trying to set higher highscores is cool enough. Good job guys, keep with the good work!
Feels a bit too much like success is based off of RNG (luck), but I really liked the graphics and mood of the game. The music was also nice, especially when you're about to lose, I like how the music changes and makes you feel like everything is about to come to an end. Great game!
I really liked this game. The UI design is beautiful. The graphics are amazing and all fit the same style, which i always appreciate. The sounds are great, i liked how the music changes to fit the intensity of the situation, but my friend sitting next to me said the one where you're about to die is annoying (I didn't think so), so make of that what you will. All in all, a fun and beautiful experience :smiley:
Wow this is tough! I didn't make it very far, but I had a good time trying. The visuals are great here. I wish my harpoon went a little bit further!
@jharler After some time boxes containing harpoon upgrades for range and speed will spawn.
it was tough to play but I liked the idea of your game :)
got to 190! I enjoyed it. Great use of theme and very awesome graphics
Nice game, really cool idea, it was really punishing my mistakes, but it get funnier when I got my ship back. Nice job.
This was a very fun game, almost reminiscent of a mini-game from Mario Party or something. I enjoyed the mechanics a lot and played it over and over. My constructive criticism would be it might benefit from a way to see you were damaged by arrows/sharks. I assumed I was getting hit, but there's no visual way to see it. Overall great job though!
Loved it! I managed to reach about 360. The graphics look original and I like the theme of the game :) Well done!
Loved it. The atmosphere is very good, I liked the music at the end a lot. Also the visuals are well done.
Managed to get 265 score.
I love the visuals on this game! and the idea to play around a vortex like that is very cool. I liked how you did the vortex, and the icebergs.
always good to have a good how to screen!
The music is fitting, this game can be really addictive. you got a lot of mechanics in for a short jam time, very well done.
too sad that Ulf will not survive.. RIP.
I've managed to get a score of ~1500, who can do better? :P
273 was my best
It'sreally fun game. The hook audio was a little repetitive since you're spamming it so much, but not a big deal really.
The art is wonderfully done.
Only real complaint was the game felt just a bit too zoomed in.
Great concept. Gameplay is fun and challenging.
However some feedback is missing. Some simple sounds when you collect, maybe screenshake when you hit. I wasn't sure when I was hitting something.
Music is amazing. Somehow perfect for going around in circle.
a neat and additive little game You say you can get 1500 score so I guess there is no win ending? If yes, that's a little bit sad, I think that will be better if you can drag your way out and win the game!
Nice game, I like music and atmosphere.
Nice! I liked the artwork and the concept. The game is fun!
I must say: I feel bad for Ulf. All this effort, all this harpooned sharks, and he still goes down the "rabbit hole" ;). Fun game!
@fabula-rasa You know whats worst? He has to live this nightmare again and again everytime someone starts a new game. Truly, we should be ashamed
@eggshelldog yes, there is now winstate. Our game is like tetris in that you will always lose at some point. No rescue for poor Ulf. Nobody said being doomed is fun
I really enjoyed the artwork and the overall concept. What a unique way to implement the theme! The game was a lot of fun to play as well. I will say that the dependency on RNG was the main drawback for me.
Sweet idea! I wish I could have sailed the boat little bit more freely, usually moving rightwards quickly avoiding the projectiles and picking up woods haha. The concept was really nice, a sense of progress and a variation of pickups and enemies. Great entry!
Pretty difficult but cool game. Interesting concept too.
Crazy idea, loved it. Fun, great graphics and I really liked the ambience created by all the sound effects and audio. Cool game!
Cool idea but it seems a bit laggy in the web version. Great bg music. nice work
Awesome game with a brilliant concept and a really complete mood. Well done!
It was such a cute game! I really liked the houmour of it and the gameplay was pleasing. Chellenging but fun. A nice entry! Also love the music and the little note about Ulf being doomed xD
Sweet game ! Difficult be really nice ! Loved the graphics in particular :) Congrats !
That's a cool experience! I liked the art and the music. This kind of gameplay is something I've never seen before, which is really great. I had some difficulty aiming though. I would assist player with that.
Interesting visuals, I wasn't too good at it and didn't get too far, great job!
Very interesting concept ! It's a little difficult at the beginning but very enjoyable ! :D
Great use of the theme, really enjoyed it ,and the graphics are nice too!
Excellent. Everything I like about a game jam game. Simple concept, cute art, and fast action.
Very unique entry. I liked a lot your take on the theme and artstyle is very nice. Good job!
I really like the idea of the game and its graphics , great job :D
that is very unique - nice idea for the theme :) :heart:
Awesome game, cool mechanics
I like the core idea of the game, it's simple and fun. Well made!
