My little goose died twice :( Really fun to play, it took me a while to understand how to move the ship, but once it was clear the game is really fun to play, well done!

The way to move is a little bit exhausting, i found myself spamming the arrow keys to move faster, i've protected my goose until a "someone" block the way to unlock the second gate at a decisive time x). Nice job on the pixel art, it's clear and well done !

Really fun game ! The controls are pretty intuitive and the presentation is really effective (the tutorial at the beginning was useful, considering all the things you need to do to finish a level). Also, the graphics and the sound effects were pleasant, so great work overall !

Amazing game, loved the controls and the aesthetic. Very well polished. This should be ranked higher.

Fun game! The more you take, the more you risk. (Then you have to push your buddies off the boat, too dark!) Really good work!

@lalada now when you said it, this could have worked on LudumDare 40 too :D Thanks for the feedback everyone!

for me some satisfying moment is missing in the game, seems more like labor

Wow, im amazed, its so simple yes so fun. Art is perfect, even music sounds just 100% accurate! First I was thinking "another goose" but its really a gem! Love it!

This game is really funny and adorable. And I love the graphic. :medal:

Overall really nice game. I wish I could have held down the move key to keep on moving, but it's not too big of a deal. I also really like the simple graphics.

The goose keeps the charm of the game, and the mechanics are pretty well made, nice job!

This game is really cool. I just love the idea of picking up "a guy" and his house and bringing them on your cosmic voyage with your goose. I agree with some other people that the moving mechanics were pretty exhausting (having to do a new keystroke just to move in the same direction), but other than that, I liked everything about this game. I love when keys and locks start showing up to ramp up the complexity. Just when I thought I was getting good! Awesome game!

I like the unique control-scheme. It took some time to understand, but once you did it got really fun.

But as others have said, it's a bit exhausting. (I probably have tendovaginitis by now due to inducing my hand & wrist to so much stress!)

I haven't finished it yet, but I plan to. I tried the Hard Mode on my second run. It is quite perilous!

I like the fact that you have to plan on how you're gonna fit all the batteries and folks to the small ship.

And damn, son! Your older work is quite impressive too.

I spent the last night trying out all your previous entries. The ominous atmosphere in some of them is something I really enjoy!

And gotta say that [MööM Mafia](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/44/moom-mafia) stands out as an awesome gameplay experience!

Glad I found your stuff!

Thank you so much for the feedback @dis0rder <3 (And checking out the other stuff too, you just made my day ^^)

My main complaint is that you need to tap to move. It gets pretty tiresome further you play. But I dig the minimal aesthetics and simple mechanics.

Amazing game! Agree with @kaappis that the tapping to move is pretty annoying. But everything else is so good. The puzzles are "tight" and well thought out.

I like it a lot! The super-minimal art is really cute and effective, as are the interactions. It gets tough on the third level, I had to leave a lot of someones behind :cry:
