A downloadable game for Windows

A little boat on a little lake with a lot of waves.
Make a new friend on the lake and defeat their evil side.

Water physics

Was made for the 8-bits-to-infinity game jam "Physics Jam" with the theme "Switch"

After jam changes:
- clamp FPS to 60 to help streaming the game and have a more consistent water simulation
- added a maximum amount of mines to avoid a literal mine field
- the icon to notify that the flip is about to happen is now bigger and at the top center of the screen
- fixed a typo in the "how to play"
- added a "magnet" on collectibles when you pick them up to make it clear that you did (and it's prettier !)
- hint system that detects the player is not doing certain actions and pops a hint message to help them (pick up energy, air dash attack, attack the evil side)
- reduced the game's size from ~360MB to ~120MB
- Option menu to invert mouse X and Y axis
- To improve on the feedback of not having enough control over the boat:
    * Portion of the canceled drift velocity is transferred to a forward velocity so the player have more control over the velocity while turning.
    * Keep a portion of the drift canceling velocity while airborne so the player have some air control.
- Added particle effect when the boat is in contact with the water, an air dash particle effect and intensified the fire effect to make it clearer that your boat is on fire.

This was a lot of fun. I really likes the art style and how happy the "good side" is. The boat was sometimes a little hard to control but the fun factor made up for it.
