Gotta say though that the follow-the-path crystal is too hard to get -- I got all the bottles to show the way on the map, I think, and I tried the path 3-4 times, and I still couldn't get the crystal to show up at the 'X'.
This is an absolutely fantastic concept. It brings back good memories of sailing the Great Sea in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and hauling up treasure using the grappling hook. I yearn for another high-seas treasure-hunting Zelda or Zelda-like.
I will say though, that I think undocking the crank and using it to raise and lower the grappling hook might have been a more fun and interactive way to find the treasure tbh. Controlling the boat with the crank felt a little off to me personally. But otherwise, fantastic job, lovely stuff.
HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU MAKE THIS IN LESS THAN 8 DAYS!? This game is the most technically advanced Playdate game and I can't wait to finish it. Also, it runs quite well on the Playdate.

Best (only?) use of the menu screen I’ve seen in any playdate game. 5/5 stars!
Fantastic graphics -- reminds me of Myst, a bit!

Cool 3d effect and nice setting. I also like the steering mechanic where you combine d-pad and crank.

I can also back it up: it runs perfectly well on my Playdate. The game looks and plays incredible, I'm quite impressed!
Thanks for the tests ! I might write a short postmortem to share a few of my hindrances. That was a more intense week than I expected at first
