well done game, entertaining, has some progress
first I was frustrated, after third try I played it through.
key z is a very poor choice for non english keyboards. Luckily this can be configured.
This a bit of strange water flowing in a loop :D

Wow! Truly incredible. I got to the end but I missed one coin. I am always impressed by your games and how well polished they are, but I'd say you've surpassed yourself this time. It's crazy how much content you put in, and the boss fights are really fun and cool. The metroidvania-style world design with all the different biomes is also very nice. Really amazing work.

Such a wonderful game, incredibly polished for a week-long game jam! Cool music, cute graphics and story, sensible physics and controls, nice metroidvania progression.
No notes, five stars! I managed to find the sailboat with 10/12 coins collected :D

It's an impressive little adventure for a PyWeek, with a decently large map to explore and re-explore after unlocking new skills. The pixel water effects are really nicely done with ripples bouncing off banks and interacting with logs and currents.
The boss fights were pitched quite nicely and gave a bit more variety than the endless frogs, fish and birds, though I only found the last one hard.
Minor nits: the controls feel a bit tugboat-ey and sluggish, and it's quite frustrating to line up shots in a current. A few degrees of auto-aim might make this more forgiving. The chiptune music seemed to be struggling a bit with crackling and hangs(?) There was maybe a little too much wash for a tiny tugboat, which reduces the cuteness a little.

Graphics and music are amazing especially since I used pyxel for my own entry and he did things that blew my mind graphically.

This is an excellent game. I love the chip-tunes 8-bit vibe, the framing story and playfulness of using the game assets (frogs, fishy, the chiptune version Pirates of the Caribbean!).
But most impressive was the game-balance.
You've clearly either thought a lot about it, or you're just a natural at it. I found 30 minutes of exploring was gone in a flash... you've managed to make the maps intriguing enough, with enough "boss" encounters (that cow!) and timely acquisition of skills / capabilities that re-frame earlier encounters (jumping sand banks) that I found myself grinning like the Cheshire Cat.
This was a virtuoso performance. Huge congratulations.

Nice game, although first impression wasn't good! BUT it was wrong.
Keep up 👍

This was a long game... I spent so long trying to find the thing that would let me jump over walls. Traveling took a long time. But it was really well made. The levels and the progression was really nice and the boss battles were really cool. I think betsy the cow is the best boss.

beautiful game, long games can still get really fun. loved how nicely the map is laid out for progression.
i think got a glitch where if i died at the master bullfrog it wouldnt respawn and i cant proceed with the game.
maybe ill finish the game some other time, those moving water particles are really creative :D
This game feels so complete with all the different areas, hazard, enemies, powerups, and bosses. The character is fun to play which is important. I like a lot of details about the map, like getting a preview of an area you can't reach yet. I thought I would be frustrated having to backtrack with no major shortcuts, but you did a great job making the central part of the map easy to cut across, without too many enemies or twists. Nice touch.
