I love the art for this game. It's a fairly unique style. The gameplay, of controlling two sides at once, is great as well. I also think that the odd pairing of feeding the mouth and the objects dropping on the boat side is cool.

I did find that controlling the boat was quite challenging.

I love how you have to be on two very different worlds at once. And it's very funny. I didn't quite understand how i'm i supposed to win this one, or the controls did'nt work for me. I suppose i wanted to put the stuff on both sides of the boat to make it heavier and more stable but dropping the objects didn't work. Great game anyway. Keep up the good work!

Cool take on the theme. A timer or score keeper would definitely be handy, but it's certainly fun right now too!

Very enjoyable. I think some sound effects could really put this game over the top.

One thing I noticed is that if I hold 'up' on the boat side, I can often keep her alive indefinitely as the boat spins in 360s. She'll eventually get thrown off and die, but for a while she'll either be stuck in the middle of the boat or flying up really high through the air.

Anyway, great concept, great art, I really enjoyed it.

This game was funny! At one point I ended up on top of the boat which had rotated to be upside down, but I was still alive. :P

Haha, what a bizarre concept! I enjoyed it just for that.

This is a Thing of Beauty! Loved the quirkiness, the art style and the control system. Just needs a timer and some bouncy music. Really good fun!

Hi. Not played yet. Unity loading screen reports I need new version, but I have latest and all other Unity games have worked fine.

Awesome take on the theme! It's super difficult to balance the two sides, but it's a lot of fun!

Amazing graphics for such short time! Shame you didn't get to wrap everything up in time, would of have been a interesting thing to see finished.

Our game concepts are pretty similar. Your graphics are lovely. It's really hard to keep the boat stable - even if you're not feeding the mouth - but satisfying if you can.

That's some fun stuff. Hard, but fun. As others have said, a score timer would have been the final touch to make this a proper game, but it's fun nonetheless.

Haha, I flipped the boat. Nice game, cool art. Liked that you had physics on the water.

Cool multi-tasking and really nice art!
I've always wanted a boat and mouth themed game O;

Man this art work is really great. The giant muscley character was funny, and the boat gameplay was really fun. There were some hilarious glitches involving the water though. Those waves went insane really quickly.

Thanks for this submission. I really had fun playing it.

Totally bizarre and original, if perhaps a little underdeveloped. It's a shame that you ran out of time. The water was very well done.

Nice art and presentation. Fun to play and very humorous. Controlling two different actions is hard!
