Aahh the movement with the ripple effect is so satisfying, looks and plays great!

Very nice! Fun little game with some great details. I particularly liked the water effect around the boat, once I spotted that I just had to do laps in the boat to enjoy it. Good work!
Great game and opening music. The 1 hit kill whirlpool is OP. But I guess it's needed since the game might go on forever. The itch cover has grid lines but then the game doesn't. Not sure which style would feel better but might be good to keep it consistent. Lastly, the player can't hit any ships but the enemies can pass through each other. The water effects are like magic. Good job!
Thank you for the feedback! I do agree the whirlpool is kind of OP, so I'll probably go back to nerf it. I did actually want to have icebergs break off into smaller chunks when they hit each other, and for large icebergs to completely crush smaller ones. And I did actually try to put the effect used on the itch cover in the game as well. I just ran out of time unfortunately, so none of it really got added. I'll definitely go back and add it ones the voting has concluded though! :D
A nice high-score-based game, I liked the cyclone/vortex mechanic, it made the game a lot more interesting because along with dodging ships there were now whole areas that had to be avoided. Good job!
I encountered some bugs whilst playing the game, where I hit "Space" or "Enter" after the ship is spawned, the game goes into a black screen. There's no issues if I used Arrow Keys to play it, only the keys I mentioned above. Great art and a fun game nonetheless!
