you are dead

Probably my favorite game I've played so far. The movement is very fun to play with.

Agree with @xasey, not crazy complex, but very complete and nice experience. This is a good proof that sometimes less is more Very solid entry and I really like the art albeit simple but takes me back to Amstrad cpc 464 computer times, and drawing pixels in Basic 1.0

really cool game. I\m always amazed by games people can make in Unity. Graphics is stylish, music is fitting. I beat it by hugging the wall :)

@xasey thanks! Really appreciate the positive feedback

@tomeks Glad you like it! really dug into a "less is more" philosophy with the design. Ironically all the graphics processing required to achieve a retro aesthetic in Unity means this would definitely not be able to run on on an Amstrad CPC lol.

@dusho thank you! Lol, probably should've spent more time testing for exploits

Very unusual game. I liked it both from philosophical perspective and gameplay-wise. There is certain meditative beauty in rowing between black stars of lives. Someone mentioned hugging the wall - I beat the game first by rowing backwards, and eventually encountering the "you are dead" sign :P I guess white noise descends after a certain time, so it didn't care about my unconventional approach?

This would've been pretty sweet on the Vectrex, love the visuals. It was also pretty fun, although quite short. There's also the fact that the theme is incorporated only superficially, and, while the philosophical stuff is cool, it would've been nice to see the theme come through in gameplay a bit. That gameplay is really solid and polished, though, along with music and visuals, I just would've liked to see more of it.

Somehow A/D was working at first, but W wasn't xD. Very peaceful game. I like the approach! Well done!

I really liked the aesthetic of this game, and the music track was great too! Really got a "between two worlds" ethereal vibe from it.

Great work!

Really simple but super effective. The music is brilliant and wish I could of got further to hear more of it! Great job!!

I like the minimal graphics and the B+W aesthetic. The music is also good. I had fun playing this game. It reminds me of old arcade games from the '80's. Good job compadre.

I like it, the visuals look pretty sweet, the music and the sound effects really help the mood making this relaxing and enjoyable, nice for replay it over and over. Also, the controls feel appropiate for a boat.

Neat game, the graphics are simple but very cohesive. The gameplay is really solid!

Love the aesthetic :D

Love the aesthetics and how the game feels like complete experience. Definitely a unique take on a kinf of classic arcade game. The mechanics were really satisfying especially when you just managed to escape from a whirpool. A clear example of the statement "Less is more." Overall a super fun little game that is definitely worth playing!

Loving the mood of this one. Great visuals, Great audio, and it all worked well together. I managed to _escape_. The only gripe I had was I would have preferred spacebar to row. Great entry though.

Good stuff :8ball:

A brilliant, distinctive look, a quirky control-scheme, and fitting music to top it all off. Great job!

The web version of the game doesn't work for me.

Love the graphics, looks very professional.

I didn't see how it exactly fits the theme, but it is really fun.

Controls are hard but precise.

Nice! I liked a lot the feeling of this game. Graphics and sounds go along very well. The game in itself is simple, but enjoyable and I got stuck quite some time playing it.

It took a few moments to get used to the momentum, but after that, pretty fun game! Nice work, I quite like the visual style as well.

Love the style/vibe. The music works really well with the game! Controls feels great

You don't get a lot of relaxing games out of the jam but this is far and away one of the more pleasant games to spend a few minutes with. Good job!

Thanks to everybody for the kind words! I've really been enjoying all your wonderful games as well :)

Nice entry, hard to control, but it's part of the game play, good job

We played your game on stream last night! (Sorry if we go off on a couple of tangents, we're far from professional here... :sweat_smile: )

Very nicely done on this one. The premise is pretty simple, but I love the art direction and sound here. It really helps sell the mood! Cheers on a solid entry!

Beat it first by going backwards, then by getting past the rebirth-thingies. Great game!
