Interesting art and idea. I'm really bad at navigation - I never understood where exactly I am on the map, but that's on me. It was fun running away from the monster.
Yeah everybody feels very different about navigation-based games, that's why I really wanted to put a customizable difficulty setting, but alas I didn't finish in time!
Anayway I tried your game. Cute idea! I fell many times due to timing wrong the upward currents ahah
