About WHATEVER

WHATEVER is the top down isometric cargo ship drifting game. Inspired by true events, with a dash of comedy. Drifting the giant cargo ship through the tiny canal... How hard could it be?

Do you remember that one ship? Ever wondered how did it get stuck or how hard it is to actually pilot that thing through the canal? Well, me too!

WHATEVER is my attempt to answer these questions and satisfy my curiosity.
You will shed tears and finally realize how amazing every cargo ship captain truly is.
BECAUSE IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO PILOT THAT !$@%!$# 200,000 TONNE CARGO SHIP WITH ITS EXTREME INERTIA THROUGH THE CANAL!

Your mission is simple. Drift the ship through various canals and deliver all the precious cargo loads before the company goes bankrupt.

The more you progress, the more challenges will come. Violent winds, captivating whirlpools, kaiju, UFO... you name it. All of these are sure to make you yell "WHATEVER!" at one point, or another ;]

Features
- Seasickness-inducing inertia
- 200,000 tonnes of fun
- 9 narrow canals with 2 boss encounters (Yes, this game has bosses)

✦ AI summary

Whatever is a challenging meme game with smooth controls and an enjoyable drifting mechanic that some players find rewarding, but it features a steep difficulty spike around level 4 that frustrates most players and requires significant grinding for upgrades. The game demands mastering controls, memorizing courses, collecting items, and managing enemy distance simultaneously, which many find unfairly demanding rather than skillfully challenging, though a dedicated subset appreciates the difficulty and finds it worth the effort at a discount price.

[b]Whatever[/b] is a typical meme game. By that I mean it's fun for the first few levels and then has a difficulty spike so massive that it'll turn away the majority of players. If you don't fancy grinding the first 3 levels over and over until you can afford upgrades that [i]might[/i] enable you to beat the 4th, then don't buy this game. I generally have a lot of patience but it ran out for this game. It's not that you have to memorise the course to succeed. Nor is it that you have to collect every rocket without missing a single one. Nor is it the distance meter which gives you an insta-fail should your enemy get too far ahead while you're wrestling with your abysmal-handling ship. It's the fact that you have to do all of this at the same time. To make matters worse; there's a simple fix that is so blindingly obvious that it can't have passed the devs by; they just deliberately chose not to implement it: If your magnet also attracted rockets then it would take the annoyance out of this and whatever other stupid, impossible challenges there are no doubt to come later in the game. As it stands, stay the heck away from [b]Whatever[/b]. Watch someone else play the first 3 levels…

Considering how infuriated I get from the first chase stage, I already know the future levels will make me even more frustrated. It's not a bad game for what it is. I just had momentarily lapse in judgement on how good I can be at video games and how constant slow failing doesn't bother me. If there aren't issues to you, pick this up, especially at same.

The evergreen would not have had the issues it had if they used jump pads in the suez canal

Quite a fun, albeit very rage inducing little game. The controls are relatively smooth and once you get used to it the drifting mechanic becomes a bit easier and actually quite fun. There are definitely some levels that I think are unreasonably unfair, but not to the point that it's unplayable. I had to grind upgrades quite a bit to pass level 4 but that could just be a skill issue. I've also noticed a bug where moving the mouse even a little bit just snaps to a random option in the menu. Overall a really quaint and enjoyable game though. Edit: while I still like this game, there are several really annoying things about it that make it incredibly unfair. First of all, the damage system is completely arbitrary, sometimes you'll slam into a wall and it'll only do a sliver of damage, and other times you can just get lightly tapped by a boat and it takes away like a quarter of your health. This is especially annoying in the second to last level, where there are constantly boats everywhere that are sometimes completely unavoidable. Also on the last level, I've noticed that if you use the excavator at the wrong time, it will literally respawn you on top of boats, which usually either doe…

Thank you for making such a fun simple game. My son and I take turns playing through this game. Every level is a great challenge and is unique. Who knew 3 years later I would still be loving this cute game. Oh, and it works great on the steam deck.

If you like infuriating puzzles, go for this game. It's tags being intentionally awkward controls, memes and difficult, perfectly explain this game. You'll probably learn weird controls that might not make sense, but somehow work. You'll have weird situations where it's definitely a challenge. You'll have an interesting time grinding out this game, and it definitely is worth it on sale. I grabbed it for $5 and find it's worth it's value.
