Very hard to play, couldn't get more than 2 points at all. Maybe start slower and build up the difficulty.

Also very difficult. Perhaps it would be easier if the platformer was on the bottom and the ship was on top? the player is usually looking up in a vertically moving platformer, so the boat would be in their vision already. When the boxes were dropping down the player would be able to quickly spot their general location because they eye is attracted to movement."},{"author_name":"Hippolyta","author_uid":"32967","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 11:43pm","epoch":1409182680,"text":"Very challenging game - highscore 8\r<br\/>Will come back for more! ;-)"},{"author_name":"scriptblocks","author_uid":"5426","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 2:09am","epoch":1409191440,"text":"neat"},{"author_name":"alvivar","author_uid":"10741","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 4:37am","epoch":1409200320,"text":"love it! \r<br\/>\r<br\/>i think you can improve the walking on the platform side by decreasing the slippery a little."},{"author_name":"juakob","author_uid":"8488","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 5:56am","epoch":1409205060,"text":"I like the mechanics, really related with the theme.

I would have made it so the movement was a but smoother; sometimes it's very hard to control and you feel you lose unfairly.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>In addition, why is it that when I go to the edge of the screen I appear on the other side :( Would have preferred if there was a solid wall there that collided with me and kept me there.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The sfx were pretty sweet and fit the vibe. Reminded me of an old dos game where you were a ball that bounced on platform. Don't remember the name.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Graphics are suitable too :) Good entry overall!"},{"author_name":"shatterhand","author_uid":"14551","time":"Aug 28, 2014 @ 9:53pm","epoch":1409262480,"text":"Very cool concept, it could use better controls in the platform side, since like it has been said, the character floats a lot. Also, like it has already been mentioned, the game could have started slower and then speed up with time.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The spam S key to render multiple boxes actually makes the game more fun , don't ever fix it :)"},{"author_name":"cudabear","author_uid":"25773","time":"Aug 29, 2014 @ 12:01am","epoch":1409270160,"text":"Interesting little game.

I imagine it would be a lot easier with 2 players, since it takes all my concentration to simply play with the platformer.

As a one player game it's insanely difficult, as you're under too much pressure in the platform game to pay any attention to the position of the boat. As a two player game it has potential.
