Hmmm, I would say the control scheme doesn’t feel like it clicks with me, but some people doesn’t seem to have much trouble so maybe I need to try again.
The arts is ok, pretty simple but actually feels pretty cozy. There’s some sounds for rowing but no music and the sounds get a bit tiring after a while.
There’s not much in terms of both the theme and the limitation interpretation imo.
Thank you, I now have 2 brains after playing!
Very nice game, when i first read about the controls i was like, what?! but it actually makes totally sense and was very fun to try to get as far as possible, only thing missing was the audio, did not hear anything?
I have the audio volume lowered by default, so it might have been very quiet. There's a slider to increase it in the settings menu. I'm always afraid of deafening people with loud audio, lol. Thanks for playing!
Love the concept, the controls are unique and fun once you get the hang of it. Cool game and love that there's a two player mode as well.
Lol, the game has a good idea, the controls are a bit trippy though, maybe two keys would've suffice.
Enjoyed the unique control scheme, though struggled to wrap my head around how to push myself in any sort of direction other than slowly left or right (went straight into that first rock haha). While the game doesn't appear to really hit the jam limitations, there's something to be said for a neat little experience and I imagine two player would be fun! Great work :D
I had a feeling the controls might trip people up, but the idea is to feel like you're rowing on the keyboard. I wish I had time to add a guide in the game. I did just add notifications for unlocked settings in case people miss them.
Thanks for playing!
Actually, I figured out how to play pretty easily just from the controls listed on the game page, so maybe it's just me.
This game might not stand out in terms of art, audio, or overall production value, but there's something about it that really clicks for me. The atmosphere has a certain vibe that's interesting and engaging. It doesn't have a huge amount of content, but what's there is working for me, and I'm enjoying the experience.
Very nice game. Thanks Trio. From that post I figured out how to play. But I don't need to cross my hand, can travel a little. :)
I think I see what you did here and I like it. So at first I tried moving my fingers in a sequence of SDF(left hand) then LKJ(right hand) but then I realized I'm moving backwards. Sooooo what I did was I crossed my hands to roll my the keys FDS(Right Hand) and JKL(Left Hand) THEN I WAS MOVING BABY! Cool little twist :D Little mechnaic but great effect :D Nice work.
