It felt awesome to pick up flotsam and actually see it appearing on your ship. Gave it a real satisfying sense of progression. The art is top notch and the music fits the game really well. Overall I had a lot of fun playing through a couple times.\n\nSome things I think could be improved upon:\n\n- Turning felt a little too slow. I would say either allow some more fine-tuned controls or make the hitboxes on the pickups a little more forgiving\n\n- The sharks were usually just coming up from behind me and hitting me making it feel like there was basically nothing I could do to avoid them (I guess this works towards the theme but it feels a little hopeless for the player)\n\n- Reaching the edge of the playable world felt awkward, might be a good idea to show some kind of transparent fog wall so you know when to start turning\n\nGreat work! Really impressive for a jam.","format":"md","likes":8,"spam":"N"},{"id":785307,"author_name":"Lenny Rudeberg","author_uid":"lenny-rudeberg","epoch":1649140265,"text":"Impressive work!

The game is very polished -- the art, music, the sound effects, the gameplay -- all very nice. I thought it was really cool how the waves grew as the game progressed.\n\nOne suggestion: I would move some rocks so that there aren't any at the border. I ended up dying because I tried to go around a rock, but I hit the invisible border, which forced me to go straight into the rock instead. \n\nOverall great work!","format":"md","likes":6,"spam":"N"},{"id":803399,"author_name":"Stefan Funke","author_uid":"stefan-funke","epoch":1649263564,"text":"Loved it!

I felt the controls were a bit at odds with fun. I really liked how the game felt with the boat going fast, but to turn I nearly needed to stop. A liiiittle bit more help with turning would be super appreciated. I also really wanted more feedback on how badly damaged my boat was! I was collecting all of these planks but I couldn't really tell how much they were helping. But overall it was pretty nice.
