Narrative in this game is very nicely directed, I like such humble and heartfelt stories. I had a feeling that the gauge appear to abruptly and I always missed the first spin gauge correct click :D

Developer

I agree with you when the gauges pop up too abruptly, I could have introduced them more smoothly before actually throwing. I feel like gauges can be improved upon the most in this game. Thank you for the feedback and the compliments!

Great balance between narrative and minigame, and the skipping stones part was really well done. Great entry!

Developer

Thank you! The skipping stone part of the game was used to break the dialogues apart, and I’m glad you noticed!

Hey, I got the good ending right away! Very happy! Nice to se a classic mechanic embedded in a little story.

Developer

Glad you got the good ending right away! Thank you for playing my game!

Really enjoyed the story! I didn't expect (spoiler alert) another parent and son showing up on the island, what a great twist XD
The timing mechanic reminded me of generator skill checks in Dead by Daylight (which I'm terrible at :’)
I'm curious if there's a true ending if I get every throw perfectly!

Great job!

Developer

Super happy that you enjoyed the story! And the twist is something I still chuckle about. If you saw the part on the islet, that's the good ending I hoped everyone would see! If you throw the last stone awfully, then you get to see a different ending, not especially bad, but you know, not good either. Thank you for taking the time to play my game, it means a lot to me!

Love it! The art style and jokes and concept, super interesting and original. I can imagine a whole story-telling based adventure / narrative game with such mini games thrown around.

Thank you for your compliments, it means a lot! I’m really excited to hear that it made you imagine something more out of my game :D

Cool that there were multiple endings! Just the right difficulty to keep it interesting. Really liked the story based approach as well. Great game!

Developer

I was hoping someone would find out about a different ending and I’m glad you did. Thank you for  the compliment and playing my game!

Good story.  Liked the ending. 

Developer

Cute story! :) One tiny suggestion: the white markers on the power/spin bars were a bit hard to see (at first). Perhaps it would be better to place them (randomly) along the bar, like with the angle bar?

Developer

Thank you for playing my game! Sounds good to have the markers randomly placed along the bar. Will also make the markers more visible. Thank you for the feedback.
