Sea of Change

Appreciate this is a small game but there just isn't much there and what is there is glitchy and frustratingly implemented. It's been out for a month and none of this has been addressed, not a single patch. Bad UI, poor controls, apparently very shallow gameplay loop (not excusable as relaxing/casual) and things such as simply sailing the boat results in the boat vanishing or glitching to a static rotation. I'd also question the swathe of first time reviews giving this a positive rating. Nearly all of which have considerably less than 1 hour of game time (so the game is so good you played for 10 minutes?). One appears to be the developer. Many are from India so are probably friends of the developer and knocked up a quick account to exploit the steam review scores. Shady shady.

I don't like leaving negative reviews, but I can't see any reason why someone would be interested in this game. There's little instructions in how to play the game - which would be fine if the gameplay was self-explanatory. It is not. After defending an island a couple times and building a couple buildings, I was directed to explore the seas. There is literally nothing in the seas, and no map or indicator for anything other than a compass directing me back to the island I just left. Sailing too far downwards seems to glitch out the game for me, with the avatar getting on and back off his boat again in the water. The graphics are beautiful and smooth, but that's all I can say that is good about this game. Thumbs down.

edited to add that most of the recommended reviews for this game seem to come from accounts that were created after this game released and have played this game for less than 0.1 minutes and no other games since. reeks of review manipulation which is sad to see considering the dev could've just worked on the game more and brought in the thumbs up naturally polishing their game. cozy art style and some interesting game mechanics but this game is far to buggy and empty to be meaningfully enjoyable and the dev has abandoned it to work on a new project. the plus side of buying this game is you will run out of content LONG before the 2 hour window to refund is up

This is a great game. Fun, Relaxing and soothing. I often am looking for some games which can take my mind off the day to day worries. this is just the one! the world is free generating. minimalist controls and beautiful animation and music. I'll definitely recommend game to everyone! Job well done and cheers to developers. looking forward for updates and similar games.

very quickly made game, hard to control, not difficult enough to be interesting or fun

The is very little to do, and there are bugs and errors. Do not buy in the current state.
