The name is quite accurate because I got "lost at sea" a few times before I could deliver my first package, haha
Initially, I missed having some kind of indicator of my position on the map. However, once I got used to opening the map every time I saw an island and trusting my instincts when there was only sea around me, I appreciated doing it the traditional way.
I also liked the game's aesthetics and mood, such as the names of the villages and the boat effects. Overall, the game was a great experience.
Great job! :D
Good core idea, there's a lot of different ways you can expand it and make just swimming between towns more interesting - like pirates, wind direction and some kind of events.
Good job)
I really like the art of how the boat turns. The font on the map is a little unclear and it seems like they overlap sometimes.
Hope you release it on itch with audio and stuff
Is this a bug?

Unfortunately, it lacks a bit of feedback at sea to keep the fun going. I would have made the area slightly smaller.
:sailboat: Nice boat !
Nice art anyway!
