I actually got the download to work! I love the waves, they look so cool, and make the gameplay so much more engaging then if it where to just be a flat pane of water. The visual style is cool too. One of my favorite moments was when i managed to jump over a rock tanks to the wave, and then i use that rock as a shortcut to get another area, kind of surfing on it. I liked the twist of the boss being 3d. My only feedback is that health could be a little more generous in general, and if you want to expand this concept, you could take inspiration from the waves from mario kart world, that react to explosions by making huge circular waves that overlap the regular waves!

This game looks very cool! It was a bit difficult to move and shoot, but there is a great game concept that could be refined!
man i can‘t play this because my computer keeps saying it‘s a virus... so weird. It looked so fun from shovel‘s stream, i‘m so sad i couldnt try it :(

Moving the ship on the waves is really fun, though it's a bit hard to navigate cause the water cuts off at a certain distance. The shooting is a bit meh, but seeing the 3d boss after the 2d krakens and towers was really suprising. It looks really cool!
I felt like I had barely any control over the movement of the ship, but that may also just be my awful coordination.
The visuals are nice though, and while I never managed to get past the first kraken, I saw in Shovel’s stream that the final boss was 3D in contrast to the previous 2D enemies, which I find very creative.
I remember watching this during the stream, but actually playing it, is really fun. I absolutely love the visuals(reminds me of Zelda Wind Waker). Good stuff!
ILL admit that it's not my type of game but the wave mechanics are very impressive and the art style is really unique. I'm sure it has a lot of potential, good work :)
And well if you feel like it you should go and rate my game as well, I would love some feedback

I'm always impressed when someone makes a boat game where the boat actually moves with the waves!
