Charming little game with a BIG potential.
wish I could have more opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of the islands, and get to know the residents better, though their mail and cargo. And maybe some light route-planning puzzles sprinkled in.
What can I say, I'm sold!

Above comment is right, this has loads of potential. I unfortunately got stuck up on the edge of an island and couldn't figure out how to reset as I hadn't gotten to $500 but I was looking forward to earning more. Only criticism would be that the boat moves just as fast going backwards as forwards, which is useful but feels a bit off as you don't need to turn as much. Would love to see this developed further. Brilliant work!

This game was so relaxing and enjoyable! I played for a good while and really enjoyed the controls, and the uniqueness of all the vehicles. The intro was really charming and was good motivation to unlock the plane. This could turn into a really fun full game! fair-isle.png
This was super relaxing. I enjoyed how rapidly the deliveries started rewarding more money. The water looks amazing (I love the caustics) and the whole island system is well designed. I really like the layers! It's much more interesting than just smooth terrain.
I softlocked the game by attempting to ramp off a sand bar. In hindsight, that was entirely my fault, ha!
I'm not great at commentary on relaxing games, as I don't have much to ramble about, though I recorded my play session to give as much feedback as possible.
