This really blew me away. The art style is so unique. The game itself is so simple but it doesn't matter because it's just really nice to look at and listen to. It's kinda just a nice place to go hang out for a few minutes. Thanks for making this!

gravityflip 2022-04-04 22:43

This looks beautiful. The oil painting aesthetic is spot on! Wonderful experience

mlho7 2022-04-04 22:47

@daniel-foutz thank you for your comment, yeah, gameplay is pretty much inexistant here.

firescape-games 2022-04-04 22:52

Really nice game! Easy to understand what to do, but it was quite fun to move left to right. Nice audio and visual aspects! Overall, great game!

the-neon-shark 2022-04-04 23:02

Game art style here is amazing! The use of profanity in the short narrative felt out of place and ultimately took away from the purity of this experience. Not a big deal of course and definitely it's the artist's choice to share the story that way :)

mlho7 2022-04-04 23:15

@gravityflip @firescape-games thank you both for your comments.

@the-neon-shark I totally took a shortcut on story telling by being gross, your point of view is interesting, thank for this feedback.

Amazing art style and tone. I think a lot of people will rightfully focus on how cool the art style looks (so amazing!), but the audio design is also really well done. I love the unending ominous drone in the background as you futilely try to bail out the boat. And the inevitable ending is great. Amazing game!!!

juan-pablo-kavulakian 2022-04-05 04:15

I LOVE the aesthetics of your game, it looks beautiful. Sound is great too. I liked how you implemented stamina to your core gameplay tho after two playthroughs I stared getting a bit tired of swinging my mouse left to right, wish it had a different way of playing it. But overall it was a very surprising experience, cheers!

bottini 2022-04-05 04:43

At first I got a bit lost with the mouse, but figured out eventually: left to right until your purse &/or mouse gives up lol. Ut's pretty simple, but the art makes it unique, really. Nice work with the audio too!

mehran 2022-04-05 11:31

Fantastic art style. I loved the sinking! The salute, audio and slowly going down were all well placed. Nice job.

volkolak 2022-04-05 11:49

Management is cool, minimalistic and recklessly.

tankou 2022-04-05 14:39

Simple but fun! Good job!

vgel 2022-04-05 15:04

The controls were a bit confusing at first, but once I realized you need to go all the way left and right, I got it. The art was gorgeous, but would have enjoyed just a bit more to it. Maybe some random events like a guy going by in a boat who talks to you but refuses to help you, or something like that. Just to break it up a bit.

cyangmou 2022-04-05 22:46

It's a good captain. But where is the hidden shotgun to kill that nasty bird, so acid is splottering all over your boat killing you in an instant ? ^^

Great work, fun little entry. The artstyle is really creative.

nosleepjf 2022-04-05 22:51

I love the art style so much. It's like watching an animated painting which is very surreal and cool. The humor of the game got a laugh or two out of me as well

chaoseiro 2022-04-06 02:42

Amazing art! Really loved this style!

The sound effects are really funny and adds a lot to the experience. The gameplay is simple but meshes well with the intended "story" heh

Great job!

mlho7 2022-04-06 03:05

@the3rdhunter @juan-pablo-kavulakian @bottini @mehran @volkolak @tankou @vgel @cyangmou @nosleepjf @chaoseiro Thank you all for your nice comments!

cakestorm 2022-04-06 08:41

Fantastic game, it works so well! I love the unique feel of the game; it just felt nice to play and look at, and the gameplay worked weirdly well with the aesthetic. It's hard to describe, but it all just came together really nicely. The little bit of story at the start was great as well, it told me why I was doing what I was doing, and I appreciate the attention to detail where it didn't say the same thing after a restart. Brilliant work, it was a great experience!

mrscom 2022-04-06 17:43

This is a very funny game! The graphics are very beautiful. I liked the gameplay and humor

mlho7 2022-04-06 19:23

@cakestorm @mrscom Thank you both for testing it, and your comments.

geryon-games 2022-04-06 21:49

Interesting take on the theme! I'm a big fan of the graphical style. Great job!

denhette 2022-04-06 22:41

Beautiful art and a nice idea for a control scheme! Got to 87.7s

desertmawtobi 2022-04-07 08:20

Funny idea and nice take on the theme!

nikaz 2022-04-07 09:56

Cool game! The sounds when the character pours the water are funny)

animalx 2022-04-07 10:03

This one had me chuckling from the first line of text! Super simple game, but hits the theme right on and love the art style, well done :)

osh-studio 2022-04-07 10:05

Graphics were so sick! How was it done?

mlho7 2022-04-07 10:17

@desertmawtobi @nikaz @animalx thx for trying it guys.

mlho7 2022-04-07 10:32

@osh-studio Graphics took me forever, for every element I started from a gif, redrawing every frame, then I "asked" an AI to stylish my shitty sketches, frame by frame.

blooobird 2022-04-07 11:51

Great artstyle and there sure was a hole in that boat

psv-games-studio 2022-04-08 00:24

Cool game! I really liked the art style and sounds.

jk5000 2022-04-08 17:31

A funny and pretty little game. Well done.

lcrabbit 2022-04-08 18:49

It was pretty fun, I didn't really understood the sound effects but they were funny as well. I only got into 91 score, got my arm quickly tired playing with the touch pad heheh.

zerox 2022-04-08 19:10

I enjoyed this game I think team can do big and best projects

mlho7 2022-04-08 19:16

@blooobird @psv-games-studio @jk5000 @lcrabbit Thx for testing and your comments.

@zerox thank you, team is me, myself and I :)

christian-zommerfelds 2022-04-08 20:30

Nice art style with the brush animation!

j4cko16 2022-04-08 21:59

Very interesting graphics! Also I found it funny how the whole reason your flooding is because of a seagull.

cover-club-media 2022-04-08 22:06

Ya agree, this is a nice art style. Interesting game to play. Good work!

lbrande 2022-04-08 22:49

A clicker game with an interesting twist (you're moving instead of clicking). The art is gorgeous.

unpronounceable 2022-04-09 01:30

Gameplay is enjoyable at first but falls apart quickly. The art and sound save it enough that I played through a couple times.

lex 2022-04-09 18:30

Loved it, specially the aesthetics. Simple mechanics, easy to understand and fits well with the theme. Congratulations!

ulisses 2022-04-10 02:44

I swear we had the exact same idea during our brainstorm, and I'm glad you followed through with it. His implementation was perfect, and the art style was literally a painting. Congratulations on the mechanics of the stamina, it was really very good.

nicso 2022-04-12 14:43

Hey there o/

Are these graphics from machine learning? If so, that's a very clever use. If not, there is definitely an Ai vibe going on, which I love.

Nice entry 👍

mlho7 2022-04-13 11:11

Oui @nicso, tout le visuel est à partir de gif redessinés images par images (très brouillon mais recolorisées à mon gout) et passées dans un GAN avec très peu d’itérations pour pas que l'IA parte trop dans son délire mais laisse tout de même sa touche.

mlho7 2022-04-13 13:35

@christian-zommerfelds @j4cko16 @cover-club-media @lbrande @unpronounceable @lex @ulisses Thank you all for testing.

dreamerflow 2022-04-15 21:49
