A crossbow would have made my life much easier (maybe) :D But i'm not sure if that's a bug but the game froze at day 19 (i guess shortly before the end)\r\rThat's one point you may overthink or may not :D\rIn a phase i felt like couldn't do anything but also wanted to enjoy the slow pace i sometimes said to myself it's only 20 days. With the title you implement an end and you give us a countdown with the clock. But i wouldn't remove the timer (i actually love the ui in general, goodjob) but maybe overthink the title. It could give you more the feel of being lost on the sea. On the other side i gave me hope something is happening its worth waiting for. But maybe it would be interesting when the player has to find an own reason (:\r\rVery good job!"},{"author_name":"Si1ver","author_uid":"44958","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 3:35pm","epoch":1418139000,"text":"Wow, this is cool.\rVery meditative game, but also very nive and very charming.\rIt's 100% pure one-screen game, but eventually it shows up new depths.\rSimple controlls are also great.\rNumber 1 game on our team's game designer's list =)"},{"author_name":"BubbleChien","author_uid":"39349","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 4:33pm","epoch":1418142480,"text":"That was really good!\rEverything contributes to the ambience and is consistent, and the game was enjoyable.\r\rGot stuck in the raft at some point and couldn't move."},{"author_name":"Techblogogy","author_uid":"25556","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 8:37pm","epoch":1418157120,"text":"Very solid entry, absolutely loved it.
