A simple and fun game! Really loved the movement mechanic and had a good time playing it. The soundtrack and sfx are really cool. Collisions could have been more impactful, but besides that it is a great game.

There black & white graphics are a good idea and bring a nice mood to the game, and the music and ambience work well with that mood. My biggest grief is the controls. Although it's a very fun idea to use the rudder and sail to control the boat, the actual movement of the ship feels avery unphysical. Of course, although I would have enjoyed a physics-based solution, it's a game and the controls can be just fun.

I missed the option to play on the keyboard, and it took me a while to realize that the bottom bar was the ship's life (despite having in the tutorial, haha). By the way, I liked the way the game only starts after you "try" the tutorial completely. A very peaceful and enjoyable game!

Cool game with a good atmosphere. The soundtrack is beautiful. Good job

An interesting combination of music with an extreme situation at sea. At the beginning I had a problem with referring the direction of movement because the sea is black and the wind is lines, it seems to be sailing backwards. Great mood.

Love the scope of the game : Simple artistic direction, simple gameplay. Everything is hyper efficient. Would've love to see a bit more visual and audio feedback when I get hurt, it was a bit confusing at first and it would improve greatly the game feel. I'm not sure about the sail control though, I think the wheel was already great on it's own. Anyway, good job and keep on going mate !

Aesthetically pleasing, yet simple. I enjoyed it. Nice audio too.
