Which Theme did you choose?
How did you implement your chosen Theme in your game?
The game takes place in a very large ocean, and the game itself can be endless (depending on how the player approaches it).
Did you implement any of your Theme's Bonus Challenges, and if so, which ones?
I somewhat incorporated "Islands out of Time" and "Non-Euclidean Space" since the game contains 3 huts (The Player's, Mother's and the Trader's) which inexplicably exist amidst the open water - The game was inspired by a dream I had as a kid, so I tried to capture the dream-like idea of small wooden huts built out in the middle of the ocean.

Game was broken after going through the main menu.
i'm on AMD RX 6800 and intel cpu.
Won't review as it wouldn't be fair, please ping me if you figure out the issue tho.
Hm this is strange, I noticed this happening to a friend as well but on a much smaller scale (it happened for a few seconds after ~15 mins of gameplay). The thing is, they had an RTX 3050 so I don't think it's an exclusively AMD/NVIDIA thing. Will look into this, thanks for posting it.
I love the spam mechanic you designed for the fishing, the graphics are great, but in my opinion the game is way too dark, maybe adding an option for the gamma?
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! That's a good suggestion!
I struggled to catch 2 things in a row lol, the game itself is really enjoyable
Glad to hear you enjoyed the game! I'm curious, was there something in specific you found difficult about the fishing mechanic?
The fishing
mostly because the lack of instructions
The atmosphere and art was really well done. I had a bit of difficulty initially, I think some sort of short tutorial would have definitely saved me a few minutes walking around haha
Thank you, I'm glad you liked the visuals! Yeah in hindsight, I agree that more guidance would've been for the best here - thanks for the feedback!
