Really fun game. Unfortunately theres not many people online but that's not a problem of the creator of course, just the nature of the game jam. The game mechanics were really fun and I expect it would be more fun with more players. Can't wait to see what y'all make next
It's a nice game, but there aren't enough players. I like the art style and the graphics and also the background sound of the water and the waves.

Had a lot of fun with this. Figuring out how to sail a catamaran with absolutely no idea what I was doing was great. I sailed with a random stranger for a while and we had a small adventure involving a lot of going backwards, then me and my partner got on a boat together and achieved a top speed of 69 knots and some fancy precision sailing. I think this base has a lot of potential, I think a few crewed boats racing around an island could be a lot of fun.
These cats are the coolest. Really impressed with the use and implementation of the wind. Also, network code?!?! In a weekend?!!? That's pretty rad. I'd love to see a race set up or challenges to do. Enjoyed playing my friends, thanks for sharing!!
Plays great through Wine on Linux and I had fun. There were two others besides me while playing. I had no idea what I was doing though :D
Love the graphics and really nice concept. I like running around and controlling different aspects of the boat!

Wow this looks pretty cool. I wish I had somebody to sail around with :( The visuals look great (sometimes the sin wave that curves the water was pretty obvious) The sailing mechanics were well executed (a particle effect saying which direction the wind is going would be nice) I'm sure the multiplayer also would have been fun, if I had somebody to play it with. Solid game, and I'm sure if you had a large playerbase it could be a blast to sail around in.
This is so cool ! The art is very simple but also very cute and it works very well. Controlling the boat and sailing with others is very fun. Its very impressive you were able to deliver that in so little time
Cool game bro!

Man, I wish I had someone to play this with. I wanted to see the boat tip over! I also tried to get onto the big island, but I couldn't get off the boat. Oh well. It's _very_ pretty, and it seems like it would be fun to sail around with friends.
Should try to set off a day and have a Cat-amaran race around the island. sailed a bit by myself and it's really satisfying, man i miss being on my boat now
tried sailing through the canal but i was stopped by the wind and got pushed out backwards, would love to see some more wind indicators, like a pointer on top the main mast, and perhaps some wind marks, cant remember the name for that phenomenon, on the water.
Nice short game

Awesome stuff! I think this could be really fun with a tournament mode or a way to play against other players. I imagine this game is best with friends, but it was also fun to learn the ropes (pun intended) by myself. I'd love to see this game expanded.
That's a great concept, I think. But it doesn't work at all without sound or narrative. Maybe, it's just me, but I had no idea where it's going, and why am I doing this. Love the cats, though.
Cool neat idea for a complete game i think. It will be fun to have some adventures like in the Sea of Thieves or something like that with friends. I felt a lack of wind direction indicator and sound. Atmosphere is great, water is gorgeous. Nicely done
