Keep the boat right

Didn't really get what made the game challenging as without putting too much effort I could get to finish the game. Anyway, nice concept. The graphics and music are not bad either. It's just missing something to make it a bit more challenging. Something like you have to balance the stuff on your ship otherwise the ship capsizes. Didn't get what the command E was used for. I just kept myself on the ship and finished the game like that. Anyway, congrats for your entry :)

great game! love the physics and the concept is really good, well done :) i survived 70 seconds in the end

Nice tune - I think the concept is interesting, but I found that the best strategy was sort of to do nothing. It took me a while to figure out that E teleports you to the uh... whatever you call the ship's steering wheel, so that you can drive, but if I was far away it would cause the ship to freak out and crash a lot.

Picking up boxes didn't seem to work for me and it was hard for me to position myself properly. I could see this game working with maybe keyboard for controlling the player and mouse for ship or something interesting? Keep it up!

Probably the most fun I've had with a game this compo, I loved the look of it and the physics-based gameplay.

A bit weird, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Graphics are good (programmer's art!), especially the character and those clouds in the background. By the way, the clouds and the music are quite moody, gives me a feeling of helplessness. In terms of gameplay, I didn't found any good reason for moving the boxes around with my hands (I just used the boat movement to control which box I wanted inside and outside the boat).

Nice art and music. Made for a good mood. I also kinda did very little to get to the end, tho. Good game!

What a fun little game! IT got sooo chaotic near the shore hahaha really made me laugh having my ship shaking like crazy. Great job, really fun

Funny how you can carry a lot of boxes and just before you finish the waves getting worse and almost every single box is lost only after a fraction of a second

Pretty cool physics! Controlling the ship was pretty fun and I liked the art. Not sure what the point of carrying boxes was as they just flew around anyway. I ended up just steering the ship for the most part but I made it to the end.

Controls were a tad confusing, but was overall an interesting idea! The music was also great!

Weird but funny physics-based gameplay. It's very hard to keep stuff inside the boat, but I had a lot of fun trying. Good job!

I like the idea here. I felt like I didn't have a lot of control over what was happening, but that was okay because just watching the shapes fly everywhere was fun. I could see version 2.0 of this being really interesting, if you have to control the boat to catch more cargo. Reminds me of tetris in reverse, where you control the stage instead of the piece. Overall this was interesting and got me thinking, which is always a sign of a great Ludum Dare entry. Nice work.
