Physics were funny. When my boat was flying across the entire level I laughed.

Developer

I was expecting rage but any emotion is a win for a game I'll take it

Submitted

The physics in this game are funny and so unpredictable, I have no idea what I was doing in the beginning but I think I started to learn how to control the wave. Good work on the game, but wish the wave was a little more predictable to control to make the levels more approachable. 

Developer

I think that's the problem with all of my games, I made a beginner level to make it easier for people to understand waves, for my future games I'll try to have more tutorials and stuff

Submitted

Dont mind me while i yeet myself 5000 kilos away from the hut (Could use a tracking arrow honestly)
The idea is cool but theres some good QoLneeded here for it to be sastisfying and memorable, its almost like a rage/speedrun game.

Developer

Sorry man Time pressure problems. How did you get lost btw?Tthe hut is literally the end of the map

Submitted

Oh i thought i missed it, i flew like crazy

Developer

Nah just keep moving forwaard and you'll win

Submitted

pretty cool idea, the only thing I don't know is whether it works for me or not, but the game is laggy, but otherwise it's great

Developer

Hey I fugured out the lag problems, It's just the graphics and the waves. If you want I can make a simpler water mode with like only 15-20% of those calculations, it would be almost identical mechanically

Such an addictive concept! Since this was an unintended rage game, the only recommendation I might add is delaying the response time between the tides height and the moons position. That way, players can correct a mistake before the boat gets launched at mach 10.

Developer

This comment is framed hilariously

Great game! Interesting gameplay, cool music. I liked it!

Submitted

I hope you’re doing well, because judging by the game, it looks like you had a lot of rage toward that boat — all you did was throw it as far away as possible 😂 But anyway, it was still really fun, I liked it, congrats.

Huge oversight lol sorry, I added a roof now you can't cheese it

Submitted

"I'm gonna be honest, this might be a rage game, I play tested the levels but couldn't complete the harder maps in one go :)" THATS GOOD like i like games that are not easy to pickup. Theirs a certain satisfaction in mastery you know? I was at first really confused but I got it quick its a simple and intuitive concept really creative. Make this a time stamp ima reply once i beat all of the levels! Thank you for this one though!

Submitted

Ok so it is a quite difficult game on these open maps i found cheese (not gonna reveal it) minor bug the ship gets stuck on the tall cliffs on advanced 

Developer

Does it get stuck inside the mountain or just landed on top. If it landed on top you should've gotten a secret death please let me know I'll see if I can fix it

Submitted

just landed on its side  against the mountain and i could not raise the tide up

Developer (1 edit)

It's fixed now, what happened ws that I added a death for that, but the threshold for the height was like 50-100 pixels too high so there were some mountains in which you could get stuck but wouldn't die. I lowered it you should get the death screen if you get stuck now :P


Edit: Btw I added the timer while I was at it

Developer

I fixed the cheese >:). There's a roof now.

Submitted

Sickkk yeah cause the second level ended up being the hardest. But ill check it out again!

Developer

Praying for ya cuz even I haven't done the new advanced level

Developer

If I win this jam (Or get enough support) I'm definetely making this into a real game lol I'll add a timer dedicated to you

Submitted(+1)

It’s hard to get used to at first, but the bouncing waves and ship visuals are fun to watch.

Developer

I'm gonna be honest, this might be a rage game, I play tested the levels but couldn't complete the harder maps in one go :)
