Sail the Caribbean!

You are a new higher on the world's first combination ship-cafe! Your goal: keep the ship afloat by properly steering the ship and keeping up with the coffee orders. Sounds simple, but if you aren't dialed in you'll quickly lose control. If you're able to survive 5 minutes without getting 5 strikes, you win!

(it is highly recommended that you play the tutorial before jumping in)

It was definitely a struggle getting the difficulty correct. I'm still not sure if it will be too easy or too hard. At the very least, it might be "dad-proof", at least at the very beginning. The difficulty does ramp up a little bit every minute. Try to make it the full five minutes! Then try to do it without any strikes!

I really love the mechanics, (especially) while sailing and when serving. But without indicator on when you should sail or serve, the game feels... unfair and frustrating :D
I tried to ignore the sailing part, serving alone is already hard hihih...

Maybe by adjusting the time for strike-out, or just put both task on the same screen, it might feels more doable...

Fun game still. Good luck on the Jam! :)
