How does your game fit the theme?
In the game, you need to sail a boat, while the keyboard arrow direction are not fixed and change themselves according to the wind's direction. While playing, you get more and more out of control.

This is a really challenging and not frustrating take on the changing controls and i really like how it feels. Great job!
Nice game! Communicating the change in direction using wind effects was clever and made it very quick to understand. Well done!
Clever idea. A lot of games went for changing directions but you did it in a way that's not frustrating. It's fun! The only thing a will complain about is that when the player collects all visible coins, there is quite a lot of waiting for the screen to move and reveal additional ones. I wish the screen would just move if I get close the edge.
Other then this little nitpick, I like it ;)
i like it. the mechanic about the wind is smart. and showing the wasd rotating with the wind is a cool way of showing how the game work. it can get pretty hard sometime. my only problem with the game is that the camera move way to slow so the levels take much more time to complete than they should.
I loved how the control oriented to the wind. Definitely fit the theme. Well done!
Simple and to the point, nice! Good way to implement the theme in a way that feels natural in the setting of the game. Good on you for making all the assets too!

Neat idea. The game could use a little more polish and juice, though. Sometimes the wind made it a little too frustrating. Nice work!
Super neat idea, well executed. The controls felt smooth, and the in game tutorial at the start was key. The pacing is spot on. All and all a really big success from my eyes! The only thing I didn't enjoy was the high pitch tin sounding elements in song yet it felt in place with the pirate vibe.
A great on-theme idea, and very well executed too! <3
I really like the game play! Unique and fits the theme well.
