2.The paper boat has sailed through various terrains,some calm and some dangerous.This tortuous journey is a kind of "wave".
3.The paper boat went through adventures and eventually returned to the boy who had grown up,The waves the paper boat faced were just like the difficulties people encounter during their growth.

This is such a great game! It’s really relaxing, yet still offers interesting gameplay. Each level has its own ambience and mood, and the story is cute. The art panels are beautiful, and the music fits perfectly. You all did a great job, Congrats!

Such a charming little game. I like everything about it, the artstyle, the unique and innovative movement, the "storyline" at the end of each level. Great game! Very well done!

i like the game, nice art style, calming sounds, simply click and get the boat to destination. The game is very mouse heavy, but apart from that good job!

Relaxing game! Beautiful art and music. I found myself wishing for more obstacles or challenge after a while, though. Keep up the great work!

Developer

I do hope to add more obstacles, but when developing this game, I also need to prepare for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test N2 level.

Thank you for your playing! If I had more time, I would try to do better.

Nice little game! I really loved the art made for the story segments and the piano BGM really helped sell the care free and beautiful vibe of the setting! The simple premise of pushing the boat alongside the river is nice but I feel like there should be some variety to the game as I ended up mashing waves to progress. Overall, great first game project!

Developer

Thanks for your recognition! We do want to do more content, but unfortunately our energy is limited. Perhaps in the future, this work will be even more perfected.

Very cool idea with a paper boat! Draft to somewhere, like a sweet dream...

Thanks for appreciation!

A very pleasant game with exceptional sound design. I found myself confused if I was the one making the piano notes or if the piano notes were hypnotizing me into a certain timing with my wave presses. Well done.

Developer

Thank you for your recognition! We try our best to create artworks.

I really life the waves being the control, that's a great idea.
