The boat was a bit slippery, but I liked the idea of a supplementary offer and a request. The ring animation was also very successful.I also like the way you speed up the boat. It gave more of a feeling of steering a boat.

Thank you for the kind words! :)
Nice game, the boat mechanic hard to control. Probably realistic and I am just bad at driving boats. Once I got going it was fun. Great work. Good submission
I liked the game! The controls aren't the most realistic, but it gives a nice arcade feel to the game!
Love the chill music. I wish the game ran while unfocussed so I could leave it on a bit. As others have said the boat is a bit slow and hard to control but the core idea is solid!
@peterfiftyfour Thank you glad you enjoyed it, you can leave the youtube video in the background for the music :)
@tul-games Thank you, the boat is a bit slippery yes, most headaches I had during the weekend to even make the damn thing move :)
@haydads Happy you enjoyed playing :)
Cool little game! I liked the trading, but wished the boat would go faster. Nice entry!
Nice little trading game! I liked the water shader.
Love these types of games. Once I got used to the boat it was driving(?) like a dream. Great job!
@john-gabriel thank you! learned a lot about shaders and 3D modelling this weekend :)
@niclee happy you had a good time!
cool concept! the water is really nice.
The boat felt a bit slow, but it fits the calm setting. It sometimes was hard to see where I was going since the camera does not rotate.
I recommend setting the sprite interpolation to "nearest", currently you probably have it on "bilinear". This makes the pixel art sharp instead of looking blurry.
The game took like 15 seconds to load into, both here and on your website, I see that in your video it happens without any delay - no idea why this is happening, might be a problem on my end. I also had no music.
Relaxing entry, appreciate the look of the water. Pressing start made my PC sound like a motorboat and it took a while to load up the scene, might be because of the islands? They look heavy :) Fun take on the theme, felt nice. Fitting music as well, great job
@floke Thank you for playing and the tipps, I'll look into the sprite issue in a possible post compo version. Not sure why the loading takes this long, was fine on monday, but today I also noticed it loading significantly slower. The default volume is 0 in the game you can change it in the settings menu, another thing to eventually fix! :)
@rasblo Thank you! Best to just call the motorboat sound a hidden feature and not think about it! :eyes:
i love this boat game its so peaceful
Calming game, though sometimes I do get impatient getting to the islands. Water is nice to look at too, really neat game you made in 2 days
Nice game. Gameplay was nice and chilled, music complemented the mood. I would have preferred a hard border to the sea rather than getting game over.
@cheesepencil @crow-seeds @harmadillo Thank you all, happy you all found it peacefull and chilling was a major point while making it to bring some peace and relaxation to people :)
Very addicting haha. Straightforward and fun,could have played all day!
Nice touch with the comment "this world is pretty flat" :D I liked the idea of the game and the simple graphics. A bit hard to control the boat, but other than that, it's a nice concept. Nicely done.
The idea is simple but interesting. I got some bugs like trying to buy a thing but something else pop up hahah. Was unsure if drop items are selling them or throwing them away.
@alec-cunningham Thank you for the kind words, happy you enjoyed it!
@hakro Happy you enjoyed the joke, thank you for playing!
@apiffer Thank you for playing, and for the bug report it probably happens if the item timer runs out when you are in the trade menu. Drop item sells them at a very low price, its basically just enough to pay for some fuel.Th
Simple but polished and fun to play, I loved the contrast between the context and the super peaceful music. Well done!
Nice mood. You made great amount of work as for compo game! Great work! 5 for mood and GFX.
@maximeg Thank you, happy you enjoyed it :)
@gamescodedogs Thank you, happy you liked the graphics, that ship model has the most polygons I ever modeled :D
