I gotta admit, this game had me laughing a lot with the thought of Charon dropping passengers into the river as he wildly paddles and bounces off the walls haha. Silly, stupid fun. really well executed!

Solid game overall. I couldn't beat it but it was really fun. My only complaint was maybe have a progress bar so that way you can see how much longer there is to go. That would help massively. That and some intense music to really put people on their toes. Great job!
Great game, great boat physics. However, I don't really understand what "Death is an Opportunity" has to do with it. Please comment on our game
This was isnanely fun! Seeing how fast I can go around corners without damage was insane!
This is such a fun game! If this was a car drifting game it would be the perfect drifting game. Drifting a boat as Charon is even better. Excellent work on the vibe of the game, I understand making it brighter but felt it was very moody with the darker theme. Great work overall! 5 stars
I really enjoyed your game! The drifting boat mechanics feel smooth and satisfying, and there’s a surprisingly emotional weight when carrying passengers. The art, style, and sound all come together nicely to reinforce the mood.
If you have a moment, I’d love if you could check out mine too! Play it here: https://kaijota.itch.io/graverun
Watch the gameplay on YouTube:
cool idea, good graphics, controls felt great. there might not be a lot going on, but this feels really nicely polished for 5 days. awesome job!
Pretty good! I like how cool it feels drifting the dingy! I didn't get the highest score I could have this time around, but I could see myself sitting here for a while trying!
The emotional attatchment I felt with my last passenger the first time I made it to the end was so real. Style and sounds were great! First game so far I've immediately wanted to relplay!
Didn't realize we were gonna be drifting boats but OMG! This game is such a blast! The boat physics, the paddle motion, the guys getting launched out! All of it! I crave more... 5s across the board from me!
very cute idea and the visual of a little dude just flying ogg that boat on a crash is wild lol. Great entry
I've released an accessibility build with adjusted brightness and volume :)
