Bad experience:( even the game is beautiful, but your wind direction seems not to change and it's hard to find sunny seed.
@bowen
The wind should change every 5 seconds. Except at the very begining.
Why do you need to find the a sunny seed?

It was a really nice game! You could argue about how much of a real "harverst" there was, but overall it was fun!
One small note (from a non-game designer, do idk what I´m actually talking about) but: it´s really easy to overlook the bomb-growing area. Since you also put 5 "Suns" next to the canon and I didn´t see the plants growing the bombs, i was struggling on how to activate the canon. I was actually on the verge of writing you before giving my vote, but then i went back and found it. But overall that was fun.
I want a daddy ship now!
@chuchugeralt Thanks for your feedback :heart: . I will add a screenshot of that area here in case it helps future players.
QQ图片20230110191502.png actually I carefully read your toturial I didnt see last time, and I finished it! Not bad!
Lovely game, good introduction tutorial to it too, my brain froze a bit at the Cannon reload part though, but that was just me. Really nice calm feel to it all, audio helps a lot and the nice physics that just work well. Perhaps I'd like the wind to change it's direction more or something like that, but that's just my little nitpicking. Also on the graphics, they were simple but effective as everything fit together well.
Wonderful work!
super chill and nice game really enjoyed my time with it - simple art but effective
Followed around Father boat to see what it did at the end was amused that he ends up at the heart spinning on the spot :laughing:

Although this is a cute little toy, I'm not quite sure it fits the idea of a game per say? There's no real puzzles to solve, no actual challenge to overcome, no tradeoff between resources or tactics to make us feel clever... We're just following instructions to the next yellow circle most of the time. I liked the chill experience, and the day/night cycle is pretty to look at, I would have wished for a bit more polish on the boat itself! Good effort, congrats for finishing it :)
Nice, chill game. I like the speed boosts, those felt lovely (felt great to catch the wind) - but I felt the overall speed of the normal boat could be just a little faster. Very neat entry, it looks like a lot of work went into this.
Lovely game! Very cute art style. I enjoyed how there was a challenge to balance wind, oil and magnet duration, but at the same time if you failed the challenge, you didn't lose the game, it just took a little longer. It felt more motivating and like there was an actual reward for successfully balancing your resources. Very creative and unusual take on the theme as well!
What a relaxing game. Love this atmosphere.
I think you might make rotation more slowly for more realistic feeling of control.
Great game. Thank you =)
I do like boats, therefore I like boats.
**Contains spoilers** Very nice, you came up with this world and its rules, it all just works. Love the multi-stage way most things work. Pushing the heart around wasn't very fun, and when it disappeared through the rocks near the end I was pissed that it was some feature I wasn't warned about, but it showed up on the other side so all is ok.
The dad boat comes off a bit narcissistic tbh, when I rescued him he just goes "yeah!" and drifts away not paying any attention to me, I followed him until he disappeared into a rock that I couldn't enter, perhaps that was a boat bar and I am underaged so I wasn't allowed in. Something tells me he'll need another heart soon :/
Nice start! It took me a minute to realize the indicator was the wind, not the way to the halos. I like the look and feel, though, very simple, with relaxing music!
Nice work! Great job getting this together! It played pretty well, I kept having to remind myself that the arrow was the wind direction but I eventually got used to it. The movement of the boat is a little stiff and I think with some easing of the motions could really help it feel like it was a boat on the water. Overall I had fun and think you did great!
Really cool and pretty relaxing game! congrats!
Don't worry papa boat. I got you! Boat.png
