Great game, initially I was confused because wasd didnt trigger the next sequence. Music is great, and graphics are beautiful. It felt great zooming around.
Great work!

Great game! Loved the feel of the game and the gameplay was pretty smoothh too, in the tutorial wasd wasn't recognised which you might want to add but overall great game :D
fun to play and perfect entry for a game jam
the bushes in foreground were bit annoying but I guess it adds to game difficulty so I'm fine with that
Nice game! the colliders seem kinda wonky with the boat getting stuck but looks like you're already aware. Pretty cool to sail a little boat and the atmosphere is great!
I really enjoyed this, I think more consistent UI would be a great addition, good submission!
Exciting experience, simple and concise gameplay! Here's an interesting thing to consider: as a PC gamer who's super used to WASD movement, when I noticed that A/D could move my boat, I assumed that the game was just stuck after nothing happens for awhile of me moving back and forth - I suggest checking for all horizontal inputs rather than just the arrow keys as you instructed, or to strictly only let the boat move with the arrow keys and nothing else. Other than that nitpick though, everything else was pretty neat, great submission!
Nice graphics and sound! the movement is very smooth, good to control
I really like how this game starts up. The fixed perspective, combined with the music and the parallax effect, really set the tone in a nice way. The way the water pushed you up and down was great, especially when it would help you over an obstacle.
I do wish the movement was a little more responsive to weave between some of the tighter areas, as it seems to move a bit further after I stopped pressing. But overall, nice looking game with some interesting moments!
Loved that game! The graphics are super fresh! You built the tension really well with the music when approaching the storm. Felt really polished and clean, gg!
Cool game! I loved the art and the UI. Really good implementation of the theme. The game felt really polished and smooth. Good job!
Great water visuals, I loved the river, great vfx and sounds, gameplay is fun, and it is replayable a lot. good job
Here is mine if someone wants to try:
Great game I enjoyed it. Only thing is that even though it is possible to play with wsad the tutorial doesn't register that. And sometimes it felt like the boat phased through obstacles without the need to go around them. Apart from that great game.
Really cool game. Loved the ramp-up of intensity and the larger waves. Got frustrated a few times by getting stuck on big rocks but I was able to learn the patterns. Felt like a really good length too. Overall I really enjoyed. Well done!
