Great stuff - the controls are interesting, the visuals are very clean and the sound design is great! Love the overall style, though the gameplay was a bit conflicting - not sure if I was supposed to relax (game felt very relaxing) or pressured. Perhaps it would have been better as an un-timed, adventure style game where you can actually use some of the items you find.
I really enjoyed the game. The controlls are really fun to learn and it pleases me that long paddle strokes are so much more effective than short ones.
I enjoyed this a lot! Much more than I would have thought from the premise of the game. In the end, you are just going around a map collecting things. But the relaxing vibe, with the art and music, really helped make it more interesting. And, more importantly, the control scheme was super interesting! It was a bit tricky to get the hang of, but I had a lot of fun learning and just rowing around really enjoyable. The obstacles, such as the whirlpools and winds, where also fun to deal with. Really well done with this submission! :D
Great game. Controls were weird but unique. I really enjoyed the item descriptions. I wish there was a way to slow down other than coast though. Stick the oars in the water and brake that way.
$8250 :) I enjoyed it! It is pretty simple, but the unique movment scheme makes it interesting. Plus the overall esthetics are one of the best I have seen so far. Music and sound design do the job too. I think that with some polishing (the boat behaves a little bit unpredictable at times) and more things like existing currents, vorticies , that could be a really engaging game. Cheers!
Wow! such a great experiece. I liked the mechanic to control the paddles. Simple, but well designed. Music was misterious and suitable for the game environment. Well done. =)
That was a nice chill experience. It was fun exploring the map. The control method was interesting, but worked well once you get the hang of it. Great job.

I loved the chill aquatic music, it's really relaxing ! I think it would be nice to have full mouse control (left click and wrigth click to paddle ?) that way all you have to do is recline your seat and chill on the game !
Such a chilling experience! I like the paddings mechanics. It gets a little practice to get used to, especially when you turn down but it's different and interesting. The music is soft and contributes to the mood. The graphics are simple but polished. Congratulations on your submission!
Nice Game! Very chill and easy on the eyes. I loved the graphics and music. The controls are interesting and fit nicely with the boat theme. Great job!
To be honest, I love the simplistic art. The boat was a little bit difficult to control it, but the interaction of the sea currents was pretty realistic (didn't expect to have them). Overall, nice game!
My favorite part is the unique controls. I love that it really felt like paddling. I would second what others are saying and request a free-play mode where you can collect without a time limit. I love that the whirlpools push you away from them. And I like the lighting and coloring. Nice game!
the paddling is very satisfying, I really like the way it's implemented. And the artstyle is really clean, love it. This game is great. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be challenging, but I found myself very relaxed while playing it. Great job, thank you!

The controls are weird, but fun, and I think that's on purpose.
I found the gameplay a bit boring. I never figured out whether the items affected any stats. Perhaps the effect could have been more noticeable.
The sound and art are great! And thanks for the beautiful devlog (I came to play it because I saw it in my LD feed).
