Cool entry I really enjoyed it. Sailing around the lagoon was satisfying and upgrading was nice. Collecting the gems was a bit annoying as the felt of a bit too easily from the boat even with the magnet upgrade. Other than that really nice game!
I didn't notice until the end when my boat was full that the tentacles can actually steal all your gems at once! I enjoyed the physics-based attachment pile, that seems like it would be difficult!
The water looks so cooooool
This was such a treat! I love how the gems can wobble all over the place and all get stolen at once by the tentacles. Really made for some funny moments. Nice work! Audio was nice too
Nice game. The controls felt a bit "slimy", but after a while i got used to it. Especially with the second boat it went much much smoother.
Love the physics of the stack of gems!
I really liked it! Keep it up! The only issue was that the hint didn’t show up when the timer was extended. The tentacles really got on my nerves, stealing the crystals from the ship =D
I ended up getting three mountains, maxing out my boat, and still not having enough to retire! XD XD XD
Definitely my favorite game so far! I feel like the timer extension gets too pricey too fast, and it would have been cool to get another ship upgrade which shoots down the tentacles when they get too close.
Cool game, I enjoyed the controls of the boat and how it moves. The musics sound like retirement already in the beach ;D

It took me a couple of attempts but I did it! Fun game with some interesting upgrades. I like that they're more interesting than just making your raft bigger and faster. The physics could be a little bit frustrating but I think that adds to the charm.
This game was so damn good! When you get your first boat upgrade, the dopamine just hits you, all of the jewels get picked up, your speed increases, what a great entry!
The only 2 things I'd suggest: Start the timer when the player has control because "losing" 5 seconds feels unfair, even though it really doesnt matter & I wanna continue playing after I won! No retirement for me, I was still having fun collecting stuff!
Very very well done. It was quite a rush to play and very nostalgic to flash style gameplay loops! Nice job :D
This was really good! Getting the first upgrade and seeing the game open up was really cool, as was getting a second volcano and seeing the cash flow in. Great entry.
This is great! A very polished experience with a lot of features, unlocks, physics, fancy graphics and assets - I'm impressed with what you were able to put together! I needed that retirement after getting ambushed by evil kraken stealing everything I collected multiple times.
That was really fun. The boat movement feels great and the upgrades were nice. The time purchase doubling each time made it really tough though. I had an issue that the time display was off the screen in fullscreen mode. I guess it was not anchored correctly, my native resolution is 1920x1200 which is not the most common aspect ratio.
Nice job. I like the scaling difficulty. "Hurry up!". Thanks for the game.
Very fun Tycoon style game. Boat was fun at its best upgrade
Nice game! Gem counting is a bit tricky, but I figure it out ^_^
This game is quite nice! Pretty interesting as the usage of theme (collecting from a volcano). Graphics are quite good! Great job!
Excellent, very fun. The tentacles are perfectly annoying and the scaling works well.
What an adorable game, oh my! <3 I enjoyed the hell of it, it was so pleasant. The graphics are great, music is fantastic, gameplay loop is engaging. Progression is palpable, the need to upgrade the boat ASAP made the game really enjoyable. Amazing entry, guys!
Cool! The game is really fun. I hate those tentacles. lol
I really got into this game. It's well thought out and made. The gameplay was really fun. It seems to me that the difficulty increases too fast and that it's almost impossible to recover from mistakes. All in all really well done :smile:
I went through it completely, there was nothing to improve. I played it because of the nice controls and the very cool music in the background
The music is the first thing that grabs you. I’d also note that as we get better, the game gets harder, which is a good way to keep the player interested.
However, I didn’t figure out right away how to collect the gems; I’d like to see a clearer implementation. And the music is very good and dynamic. Did you make it yourselves?
cool game idea. physics adds the fun and difficulty progression is in place (more tentacles appear and they can steal your stuff)
