lemme say first off that pico-8 games are just adorable by the factor that they are playable PNGs so this game already had my thumbs up. 


then add onto it being a simple and fun little sailing game and you have my attention.

mix that with the lovely story one can find that makes me want more to see where the two went off after the last bottle (not gonna spoil anything)

and finally that mini ost that just makes this entire game a tiny cute package and .... it's just great. well done.

Thank you! I really appreciate the compliments. The OST is actually randomly generated as you play (not sure if that was super clear).

And yeah, it's so cool that PICO-8 games are shareable as PNGs :) I actually didn't realize that until I'd been working with PICO-8 for a while, it's such a clever idea on the developer's part.
