Here's a couple of things to take note of:
- The levels became pretty challenging because although you show the number of passengers left, you don't show what type they are. This can lead to some pretty difficult situations, which in my opinion, feels a bit unfair.
- Stacking the characters poorly can lead to impossible scenarios where the player gets stuck in the placement screen. Maybe you could force failure if this happens?
Overall, it's a fun little game with stable mechanics. Good job on this one.
(Here's what I mean by an impossible situation, where the last character I had to place was the grouchy one):

But overall I had so much fun and the game does fit the theme really nicely! Congratulations :)
Unluckily you have to start completely over when you crash your boat, that threw away all my motivation to retry :(
But in total extremely polished and well made. top entry!
The music does help spice things up, well chosen even if you didn't make it yourself.
Fun and interesting mechanic. I disagree with those who say that you should see the queue of passengers: much of the fun (like in Tetris) comes from having to take into account all possible future scenarios.
Maybe you could explicitly point out the Skip button in the tutorial, because some people seem to have overlooked it :) It's a bit bugged though: sometimes it makes the next passenger show up with red Xs through their body, or intersecting with another passenger.
Got 3400 points by the way. Would be nice if there was a way to retry a level from the beginning, rather than having to start all over again.
Oh, and by the way, your Linux build worked flawlessly here (Archlinux, Nvidia card and drivers)
