Nice little game! Good job, the controls feel thight and that's vital for a platformer. It's fun!

However, I have one small bone to pick with the leven generation. I guess you are using something similar to Spelunky's predesigned-but-randomly-arranged rooms system, and this played bad with me when I didn't know it was procedurally generated, and I found myself in the same beginning two times in a row. I guessed it was the same level, and proceded to fall to a bottomless pit that in the previous level had a solid ground and a glass of water in it xD. It was funny.

Awesome game! I don't know how this has so few ratings.

There is a small bug (a leftover \n) in the house scene after the first job, but other than that, the game was amazing!

Good job, I hope to see it rise to the top.

I played the fixed version, with the ship turning at a nice steady pace. I liked your game, especially for a first game it's fun and that should be more than enough. A couple of opinions though:

- I kept crashing into islands and losing hp, which felt dissapointing. It'll probably be a conscious decision on your part, but that's something I didn't enjoy, since I saw islands as safe haven and approching them unharmed was difficult.

- I'd add labels to the hp and trust bars, just so that new players who haven't read the description (I know they should, but people do) know what they are about.

Now, I liked it, great job!

Borja here, the programmer who forgot to escape the \n's :P

Just a couple of things:

- I've fixed some of the issues with the message sending and formatting. It should not allow empty messages or \n ended messages now. I'm really tired and probably have introduced some new bugs, I'll try to fix them tomorrow. Also, the blessing counter has been introduced (thanks @amras0000 for the suggestion).

- Regarding the troll/hateful/nonsensical comments (@jason-kennedy). We are not interested in moderating the book by hand, since this is more of an experiment and experience than it is a joy ride. **HOWEVER!** I'd like to investigate the possibility of sorting the entries by upvotes, something like reddit. Don't know how hard that would be for my poor server-programming skills though.

- About the joy ride, I admit that it is hard to call this a game, but call it as you will we made it because we felt that it could be interesting, and we hope you enjoy it.

- The art style is of course a matter of taste, but I certainly find it awesome and really enjoyable. We are not musicians, so for the audio we had to make do with free assets though :) And my particles are not the best, I apologize for that.

Thank you all for playing and leaving your awesome feedback!

Have a good one!

New update, with the jam just about to end! The entries are now sorted by upvotes, so that the most meaningful and interesting messages rise to the top!

Have fun!
