I like the aesthetics a lot, but I couldn't really figure out how to play! I kept running out of time really quickly before I could do very much. I think I managed to get one point by collecting a box.

The mechanics are good, it's a simple game, i think there is too much obstacles for the time it take to the pressure zone charges regenerate, making me use the high pressure always very close to the boat to move more quickly around things. I like the music and sound effects, the UI is nice.

Adorable graphics. Some maneuvers require a surprising amount of skill!

the gameplay is cool but I guess a little indication at the beginning about the objective would make the player more comfotable

@sylvie, thank you for feedback! Our artist is pleasured to hear such nice words about her artwork.
we recommend to use lower resolution - it will be a little easier to navigate :)

Love the graphics and the controls! Would like it if the next objective indicator was drawn over the rest of the UI, it kept getting hidden by the high/low pressure number indicator so I wasn't sure where to go a few times

This game is beautiful, great job on the art! At first I was confused, but then once I got the hang of moving around it's actually really cool.
I think just more time to get things done and move around would make things a lot easier, and would give us a chance to look at the nice sprites some more haha :P

Very well implemented, awesome idea to use the pressure in water, it should be cool if you could add air too, so the user interact with all kind of environment. In another side the time rewards is too low, that makes it frustrating for beginners. But overall is quite good :)

I was a little confused, but after a while I figured out how to play.
The concept is very nice, I had fun playing your work!

Thanks a lot for making this :)

I adored the graphics! The cat is so adorable. I feel a little bad that I didn't even use the right click ability and didn't realize what the numbers meant in the UI for your actions until I was almost done playing. I found this game so calming and chill. This is one of the games that pulled me away from chat the most. Thanks for sharing this with my stream!

I loved the graphics and the music which is really relaxing. The gameplay mechanics are clever and easy to grasp uppon. The box and goal positions seemed to be random which led sometime to having them really far away or so close that it wasn't challenging. I must also say that I didn't really see the connection with the theme but liked the game nonetheless. Overall a pretty good game in my opinion :)

Nice. Gameplay is atypical but fun and clever and graphics are sweet. Timer is a bit short and the objective marker could be always shown but it's still a good game. I really liked to play. Thanks for made it.
