WOW! WOOOOOW! The game looks AMAZING! Very cool 3D boat, environment. And water! WATER IS SO COOL IN THE GAME! Controls are nice, radio transmissions are hilarious. I sincerely follow the instructions of the Ministry of Truth and say no to OUTSIDIA! Hahaha
Very easy to understand and great voice effects! I crashed quite early but I feel like playing again!
Круто, даже немного укачало. Атмосфера передана замечательно, очень красиво.
I loved the VA hahaha, graphics are cute and the idea is good too! I got stuck because I couldn't find a way to one X lmao
Great game. Just driving the boat across the sea and rocking along the waves is so much fun. The radio is hilarious, sadly just slightly before i finished the game it crashed and i couldnt do anything but hear the amazing performence of your talented radio musicians.
Wow, what an ending. The radio station was definitely the highlight for me. 100% amazing humor and I shared this with a few of my friends. Really well done!
It was a lot of fun! When another ship was sailing at me, I was really scared. The graphics are very reminiscent of PEAK, and that's cool, I love that style.
I like it! You need a strong stomach to play it (you can get seasick ☺️), but on the other hand, it adds a lot of immersion to the game. Good Job!
I wanted to ask the police for help, but they busted me :dizzy_face:. I liked dialogues it is a strong part of the game. Amaze amaze amaze!
I love the visuals and the sound effects. It's so cool and so fun to play hahaha congratulations!
The graphics and VA is really good!
Great game, great vibe, especially the radio anthem voiceover. I laughed, thanks for the work. I couldn't finish it; the guards caught me.
A really great game, both fun and funny. The graphics are cool, and the voice acting and music are nice, even though they’re homemade. The boat’s movements are cool. Just be careful with the level design, I don’t find it very intuitive. Maybe mark the “mountains” or things like that on the map, or, for example, have three maps: one showing where the mountains are, another showing where there’s a river, and another showing where there’s a river but with rocks. In any case, the game is great, well done!!
I liked the game, I liked controlling the boat, nice visual style, nice melodies. It's a bit boring to sail for so long in a big world, and the radio only gets in the way, to be honest. Although there are some jokes and stuff. I don't quite understand the purpose of the police officers. I'm just about to reach the last cross. And I get caught. I have to start all over again. And I don't really want to start all over again. I don't quite understand the need for it. But overall, it's a cool game. Thank you very much.
Great seasickness test game. xD And good game overall!
Oh, where did you get the first prototype of Sea of Thieves? Hahaha It's well done: the models, the animation, the radio, the navigation. But honestly, I didn't understand the end goal. I rode around on the crosses, I poked around the radio. I caught the "Police Buoy" four times. But overall, the game was a good experience and a great impression.
Thank you for your game, you did a great job!
WOW. this one is SO impressive. :open_mouth: I played yesterday morning, but didn't have a chance to finish and rate. I found myself really looking forward to playing this again all day. The initial impressions... it sets the stage and atmosphere so well. It's instantly immersive. I found it fun to just wander around on the boat and just look around. The water and boat movement just blow my mind. It feels so good driving the boat. I love how you handled the boat control AND being able to move around the boat. Everything felt so good. And those waves on the water!!! What. :flushed:
I love the idea, and getting to the points on the map to find the signal is super cool. Part of it is just the way you delivered info. I didn't have to read the directions beforehand and felt like there was a sense of discovery on what to do in the game. All the info was there built in. LOVE IT.
When the cops started chasing me, I was slightly confused. Maybe I was going too fast? :joy: Then I realized, they are just coming at me no matter what? It had a nice element of danger and needing to avoid certain areas. I liked that it was possible to lose them. But I think it was a little unclear how to deal with the police boats. One X point looked like I had to go through the rocks, and it felt fun to try and figure out how to get there. I was having fun checking my map and comparing the actual terrain to see how I needed to navigate. But then the cop showed up and ruined my fun. Made it a lot less peaceful. Probably not in scope for the jam, but it might've helped to have a 'danger zone' or off limits area that you knew the cops might come after you if you went there. Having them coming after you no matter what made it pretty hard. I never found the first X.
The writing is really funny and very well done. :ok_hand: The radio was great. It felt a bit loud imo? I wished I had a way to turn it down or switch the radio for a bit. I kept looking for that on the boat somewhere at first. :laughing: It just sort of dominated the nice atmosphere you created.
Overall, this is incredible. One of my favs so far of the jam. :raised_hands:
Love the sound design, the visuals were good, guess we know what happened to the missing teenagers on the radio, should have known it was dangerous to go outside
Super impressed by the water physics and boat control on the water. Was a really funny chill ride, I love truth radio and I will be contacting the glorious leader for some music tips.
Great job on this one, especially with the variety in the radio show and the feel of the game world. I loved how the waves looked and the buoyancy of the boat. Getting busted by glorious law enforcement in the name of our supreme leader felt kind of random unfortunately, and I didn't have any luck outmaneuvering the cops. So I ended up restarting on what felt a bit like unfair terms. It was kind of easy to get the boat glitched into rocks and obstacles, which broke the immersion a few times. Thanks for this game, I'm off to listen to some Dick Headski now.
I LOVED this game! The mood and humour was amazing, I could have listened to those two on the radio all day. Super charming! And I loved the combination of bright and beautiful and funny with sinister undertones.
Sometimes the traversal felt a bit tough - a bit bigger FOV might have helped, and I got stuck on rocks occasionally, but really that's just splitting hairs - this is definitely one of if not my favourite games of this jam.
I'm really annoyed with the radio! I'm really annoyed that the last point failed only because I collided with the police, who were standing right in the middle of the only place I could swim to. But I liked the graphics and I respect the effort you put into this game.
AMAZING GAME! I loved the visuals and the theme/mood was so well put together. The boat controls felt fluid and the water was really really well done and it made the boat maneuvering feel super immersive. Like everyone I loved the VA work and the writing gave so much depth to the world. My only critique is that the mouse movements felt like they snapped me to certain positions every now and then, but that was never a huge issue. Overall amazing work!!
I LOVE this one! What an experience! The VA was so so fun, the gameplay felt so smooth and relaxing, it was just such a polished and cohesive experience. Seems like you guys had a ton of fun making it, and I had an absolute blast getting to experience the final product. Amazing work you guys!
This is a wonderfully atmospheric game. The art style, music, and boat controls are genuinely enjoyable, and the radio voiceover is especially funny and charming — it's clear a lot of love and care went into it.
The world feels rich and immersive, though sailing can occasionally feel a bit long. Getting caught by the police means restarting, which adds tension and challenge — but a checkpoint system could make it even more player-friendly. The goal is intriguing, and the level design is creative; adding a few landmarks (like mountains or rivers) on the map would make navigation even smoother.
Overall, the concept and vibe are fantastic. I'm really looking forward to future improvements — this already has the makings of a truly polished gem. With just a little more tuning, it could be absolutely brilliant.
Woah, very cool! Loved the exploration and the story telling through the radio. I took some time exploring other parts of the map and was amazed that the broadcast was still going.
Initially was confused how the signals work but after reaching the furthest target from start, found out that the button blinks when ready to receive.
Really loved the vibe, great work!
