Puzzle-arcade game in which you steer ships indirectly by controlling the wind, aiming to guide as many of them as possible to their destination ✅Easy-to-master controls that involve avoiding obstacles and utilising the wind and currents ✅Minimal environmental puzzles, such as light switches, which add a simple yet enjoyable element of interaction ✅Various conditions for completing a level (minimum number of boats + optional higher score), which increases the challenge ✅The price is good for a game ✅There is no music here, but this is definitely an advantage of the game as the sounds of the water fit better here ❌No resolution options ✅✅✅ Verdict: [strike] Terrible [/strike] , [strike] Bad [/strike] , [strike] Mediocre [/strike] , [strike] Decent [/strike] , [strike] Good [/strike] , [b] Very Good [/b] (Rating scale for short games, retro indie simulator games and similar) [quote] If you'd like to see more of my reviews, you can find them on my curator page: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45994324/admin/reviews_manage/]CuratorKingViking[/url] and on my group: [url=https://steamcommuni…13 found this helpful

It’s a concept that immediately stands out, offering a different kind of interaction that focuses on indirect control, but one that also reveals both its strengths and weaknesses as the experience unfolds. The central mechanic revolves around manipulating wind and waves to guide ships across each level. Rather than steering vessels directly, you create currents and gusts that push them in the desired direction, working with the game’s physics system rather than overriding it. This creates a sense of flow that can feel intuitive at first, as ships respond to the forces you generate in a way that mimics natural movement. Early levels serve as an introduction to this system, allowing players to experiment with how subt…1 found this helpful
Odysseus should thank me personally for carrying his fleet this hard.1 found this helpful
I found the gameplay frustrating and heavily depending on luck. A touch screen interface would be more appropriate.
