Sail
A downloadable game
A short narrative game. Sail out in the open ocean as you contemplate what's missing from life.
Created for PlayJam 1. Only playable with Playdate or Playdate Simulator.
The controls can be a bit tricky to get used to, but for this version at least being good at sailing does not affect the game.

Is there anyway to controll thje rudder? Seems like the boat gets stuck once you are going in the second journey
I thought the story was very relatable and I have shared similar sentiment. Was a clever mechanic to advance the story.
Overall thought this was a pretty strong entry to PlayJam and was nice seeing a narrative story with unique mechanics to advance said story.
I've been thinking about how to use the crank in a sailing game, I really like your controls for the main and jib here!
Thanks!
I can't seem to get the sailboat to move. Tried everything I could think of.
If you aimed the sails out(perpendicular to the boat) and made sure to press b to undock, it should move forward. Were you not able to get away from the dock at all? Resetting might help if it was a bug I'm not aware of
I got it! Didn't see the B to undock text last night, but saw it now, maybe that was the issue? Anyway, I made it to the next dock. Pretty fun!
Not too surprising that there might be a weird glitch or two in there, but glad you liked it :D
The first time I loaded the game it asked me to move the main sail, which I did but it didn't progress. On reloading the game it worked the second time around.
