how the game fits the uplifting theme?
since th game is about helping people and bringing lost things back . The calm ocean, simple gameplay, and cheerful atmosphere make the experience relaxing and uplifting. (or at least i would hope so)
how the game fits the ocean theme?
the game takes place entirely on the ocean. Players control a small boat, sail through the waves, find lost cargo, and deliver it to where it belongs. The ocean is both the main setting and the core part of the gameplay

I really enjoyed the peaceful music and sound effects in this game, especially the speaking sound and select wind chime noise. Very meditative game, I can tell its going somewhere good. If you are gong to keep developing it, I recommend making it easier for laptops and the like to run it because it was very glitchy and hard for my laptop to process even though I have a pretty good processor and ram. I also think the camera movement could be a tiiiiiny bit snappier for my liking. It might be due to the fact that it had a glitchy framerate, but it took a while for me to see what's in front of me. Maybe an option to snap my view to what's in front of me would be useful, similarly to Zelda games. A mini-map in the corner would be helpful too. Love the idea of upgrading a ship and doing quests! Keep going, I would certainly play the full version of this game for fun. This is honestly one of my favorites in this jam.
The game crashed as I started level 2.
Also it was lagging a bit in my browser
Very beautiful game, the intro is perfect, the camera movement is good,
I would add a bit more mechanics like harpoons or nets to catch things, good job
was a really good game, a very good 3D art and the graphics where amazing, i crash in the second level and take a time to enter the level one, thats maybe for the 3d world to load.
very good entry, love the music too, beautiful.
thank you for playing, glad you like it!
i'll take the issues w lvl2 into account
Crashed right after entering the second level. After your warning about the level being unfinished, so I guess that’s not unexpected.
Looks good tho! I was really impressed by the sunlight reflections on the water surface.
thanks for the feedback, i really appreciate it!
yeah, i figured there's a bug with picking up items on level 2 that's causing the crash but i noticed it too late...
Pretty decent attempt. I'm seeing a theme with all the 3D games that they may be a bit ambitious. I see the vision here, I love the world map. Gameplay is a bit simple and could use a bit more polish, but great job!
thank you,
yeah this time I guess I joined too late and kinda bit off more than I could chew tbh :D
I couldn't finish it in time so some features might not work properly...
but it's better than nothing :)
