Don't mean to be a downer but the first thing I thought of when I saw this was that bathtub scene in what remains of edith finch. God what a fking tragedy. ANYWAY cute models and love the water :D
Looks good and the idea was great, however i found the ship wouldnt turn meaning I was always going towards the taps and moiving the crates around doesnt appear to help much, However I think this idea has hope for future development and could be great with some refinment on controls.
Fun game concept :) Like Lakea I couldn't get the boat to steer with arrow keys, so it was just rearranging stuff, but still entertaining. It did feel like there were points where all your cargo would just fly off regardless of what you did, but with a little more polish this could be very compelling.
Wow this is a brilliant idea hahaha. This is really fun to play!
Not bad. The boat could be more controllable in general but I liked it.
The esthetics are very nice! I really like how it looks, the waves, little (huge) rubber duckies everywhere, a toyboat that is made to look like an actual ship, it's great. Music is calming, got confused by what to do at first as there are no ingame tips or controls.
My best score is 113. I think you can cheese it if you keep holding onto the last object? Not sure on that one, it always kept slipping away. Hitting the side of the bathtube was fun, should have let it happen for longer before cutting away, heh
This is such a cute concept especially in a bathtub 🤣 I found it easy after I only had one box left to keep it in the air most of the time so I could last longer.
Setting in the bathtub was a great idea, the graphics and the mood are also very good. Just maybe the gameplay could be improved, the boat doesn't need attention for the a big part of the game and when you get to big waves at about 100 score everything falls off inevitably. Otherwise a very beatiful looking game.
plutot pas mal :)
I found the game to be very charming. The visuals and music are very pleasant and I really liked the chaos of trying to keep the cargo on board. Good entry!
Really awesome idea. I really liked the art direction with the tub and props. I would love to see more game elements if you further develop it like something to give you feedback on if a box was under stress or was about to be tossed out. Or maybe you have the chance to save a box that goes overboard vs balance the boat. Or maybe you pick up objects from the water to put back on the ship to balance it again. Overall, this looks like a fun game to develop.
I love the presentation here! The graphics and audio are very well done. I really like the water shader you used for this. Simple concept and easy to understand. My only nitpick is that the tilt controls via arrow keys didn't feel super responsive, but I was still able to roughly manipulate the boat how I wanted. That said, keeping the cargo on board is straightforward, and it works well as a cohesive experience. Well done!
Nice job! The game is visually beautiful, the music is lovely and the ambiance sounds work great!
The idea is fun even if it lacks a bit in execution. The controls with arrow keys gives so little feedback that you never know if its bugging or not. The drag and drop is quite buggy and is a bit cheated with the last item.
The progression works super well, I loved how the waves were massive at around 150 score.
Thanks for the game 💕
Reminded me of PS3 duck tech demo from E3 :smile: As a small improvements, I would duplicate controls to AWSD (QZSD as you wish). Also, it seems the game needs some cooldown for the end screen, because for me it hides almost instantly after appearance. Overall, art and music are great, game concept seems interesting and has some potential for the future. Great entry!
