Great game, it has a charming world inspired in Porco Rosso. It's an original and neat idea and it is impressive what such a small dev team managed to accomplish. I'm having a blast while also relaxing. Highly recommend!

Amazing Porko Russo Esque game but the non violent approach kind of takes me out of the world. Ill give it another try in the future depending on how the developers or Modders handle this. I think its a really cool game its just not for me. Just be aware there are no actual weapons n this game. you use water cannons and the enemy simply leaves when they're too wet?

I highly rate this indy game, to be honest in awe of the team that put it together. ***MILD SPOILERS*** This game is never going to age a day and maintain its timelessness owing to its Studio Ghibli inspired graphics and cell shaded dynamics. The day/night cycle and the reflections in the water when you pull off a smooth and gentle landing with a fully loaded plane whistling along to the adaptive soundtrack... *chefs kiss* For 3 people this is very impressive work and from what I've seen they have taken feedback on board changed areas of game play to make this game as approachable as possible to all players and all skill levels. Once you wrap you head around the Simulation/Physics Engine you're away laughing. Either way there's the Introduction/Tutorial and in a lot of ways you're left to your own devices. Want to develop more recipes and build up your bar? Want to explore all the islands, the other bars, that sunken wreck and maybe a Quest before having to refuel? Find all the Pilots, complete all their missions then do some Boat Taxi or Tour Pilot? Want to push you're luck early on and take on a Boss fight? Would you like to do all that, whenever you want, in any order you like, In first person view or third? There is a lot of small victories in the game play. When you do pull off defeating a Mini Boss battling the opponent and the fatigue mechanic or harvesting material off an area of an island or island groups in 2 or 3 passes using all the techniques, technologies and acrobatics involved, you will not regret your purchase in this game. Just where's the Tea?

It's like Porco Rosso the game. Flying a pseudo WWI seaplane is a really interesting mechanic and they absolutely nailed it. The crafting/brewing mechanic is a fun addition, although crafting spirits that are < 20% ABV is a little confusing. I'd rather make some 96 proof navy rum lol

TLDR: Game is great if you can look past a few bugs and enjoy flying, pirates, alcohol, and want a flavorful, pretty, relaxing game. It's $20. They're improving it. I've spent more for less and been more disappointed (looking at you, KSP2). Just try it, I'f you don't like it, get your money back... but don't expect it to compete with a huge title. For a $20 game this game is honestly great. Especially considering its from a 2-man dev team. Most of the negative reviews seem to be from people who were expecting something else and/or more and for $20 from a team over 4 years I don't know how you can expect much more than this. There's a lot of complaints about the AI voice "acting" but I don't find it to be an issue whatsoever. There has been a few instances I've encountered where it sounds a little janky or like the cadence is off but largely I don't find it to detract from the game play as a whole. Game play is a bit repetitive at times, especially when gathering materials to make a brew that fails, then fails again, and again... So you just go shoot a pirate down or go loot a shipwreck instead and come back to it... The tutorials, especially the intro, could be improved to emphasize controls a bit more, as well as some more of the premise, money, upgrades, etc. It kind of touches on most of it but just glosses past a lot to emphasis the narrative. It took me some tweaking with settings and mapping to get something that works for me (i.e. autopilot tracking cursor is borderline unusable, especially with a controller and is enabled by default), and using a controller causes some menu's to break so I find myself using a mouse to correct it but these aren't that big of a deal overall, you can work around them, and are few and far between. There's ways it could be improved sure, but they seem to be adamant about working on the game and taking in feedback and applying it. Considering the amount of bugs it has, I think releasing in early access would have been more appropriate but it has an early access price tag so no big deal... The art style is beautiful and it has a lot of potential in my opinion, especially if they keep working on it like they say they will. For $20, I think its a solid pick if you're a little patient and willing to work through little issues here and there which I'm confident will be rounded out in time. I was skeptical at first but now I love it. If you enjoy flying, pirates, and alcohol and want a relaxing game this is a solid pick IMO.
