Interesting concept, really easy... to get smashed! I'll leave that monster whale alone, it earned its freedom.
A unique concept. It's a tricky and interesting challenge and a simple idea that's been executed well.
Controls are hard to get used to
Very hard but I liked it, the whale sound is soothing, nice SFX
It is really fun to play. The game has a relatively high skill ceiling. At first, it is hard to maneuver the boat, especially when having a harpoon attached to the whale, but when you get hold of it, it is really satisfying to swing around. Also, I'm guessing that you generated the map procedurally, so extra points for that.
Quite neat! Very hard, and in a somewhat frustrating way. I wish the boat had less inertia, at the very least.
have you heard on a thing called Time.deltaTime? lol
This game has delta timing. Did you have some sort of issue?
Also it's not built in Unity, so Time.deltaTime doesn't apply.
the boat is too fast!
That's a common piece of feedback it seems. I suppose I got used to it during development and should've done some testing with other people. Thanks for playing though :)

The whale was too strong! Great job working to the theme :)
Thanks!! You can let go with right click if it's going somewhere too strongly.
I can't move? No one else is having the same issues? I tried clicking the window. I can harpoon but the boat doesn't move
Are you pressing WASD?
I've just tried it again and it's working now. Weird.
Cool idea for a game but I found it a little too hard to kill the whale as the controls are very slidey and you have to hit it so many times! I felt bad for him and left him alone (he also killed me so I didn't have a choice).
Great concept, On spot execution. It's pretty hard, though I'd assume that was part of the intended expirience. :3
Thanks. I beefed up the size of the islands near the end and didn't test that enough :P
Art is beautiful. Wish I didn't enjoy harpooning whales so much hehe
Intersting idea but very hard !
Thanks :), I adjusted some things near the end and it made it quite a bit more difficult than intended.
Hey i rated your game very orgional and fun game, the controls were a bit quick but besides that a solid game :D
Very cool concept, and the randomly generated maps are super neat. The only thing I'd change is making the boat way slower, because at first I found it really difficult to not crash.
