Ahoooj

Hi, I am Michal and I want to show you what we are working on.
We are small team (me and two girls :-)) and we are preparing casual game about going on the river in summer, which is really popular here in Czech republic.

Btw - I am interested, if you catch the theme and atmosphere when you (probably) don´t know this style of vacation.

I want to show you a first level demo/prototype.

So it is here: http://ahoooj.com/demo.html

If you like it, you can follow us on facebook from the web homepage, we will inform there about the development (we write both - czech and english - and mostly it will be pictures :-)).
If you want, write me your opinion here or on the facebook page.

Nice team dude

It's a pretty cool game, even though it's really kinda boring. I get that it's supposed to be casual, but it might be a bit too casual. A bit of a challenge or goal would be kinda nice.
There was a big where you were over the bridge instead of under, which should be fixed, as soon as possible, as it's something really obvious.
Further, I got stuck somewhere, because the screen was too big for my mini notebook monitor and I couldn't get out. Which really sucked, as I was like 7 points away from 1000. I recommend trying to improve the speed of which the boat backs up, as I really didn't stand a chance there.

All in all, it was a cool game, nice art and coding, but it really didn't appeal to me that much, mainly because of the extremely slow pace. Trust me, I like casual gaming, but this was just too slow.

Hi, thank you for reply!

Sorry, it was a bad export, now it is fixed. There was also some content missing, thought you are right that is little but empty.
Sorry once more!

Some other people also suggest increasing boat speed. This is also first level and it should be harder and harder so we will try to make it more challenging (this is rather prototype than demo).
I want to ask - did you use the up arrow most of the time? And still it was slow?
And what fps are you running the game? because it is not much optimized, so you could be running low fps. We are running 30-40fps and assume the speed fine (with up arrow pressed).

Much better after update . The speed is ok for the first level. I found the part with 2 other boats frustrating at times - there are not enough place and in some playthroughs it was almost impossible to pass them. Maybe you should delete one of them. Overall the game is cute, I love the way she gets angry when I hit something, but just a few moments later she is happy. If only real woman would be forgiving like that...

It's fine, really, you shouldn't feel such regret, just because of a little glitch, it's not even a finished game, so bugs should come up regularly at this point, nonetheless, this has been quite flawless on the programming.

I didn't feel like I as experiencing any lag, but I would not be surprised if I had lag, considering my computer isn't the fastest. I do use the arrow key 24/7, with exception of the corners, naturally.

All in all, I think a speed up on the boat would be a nice, just to heighten the pace a little.

Game was nice . Its only 1 lvl ?? I wanted to play more .

Thank you! We too! You have to find the right partner

It is just demo of the first level. We are now working on the full game, which will include 10 visually different levels (lake, storm, night, industrial landscape etc.) with slightly changed game mechanics.
There will be also a simple and nice story.
So it is lot of work we need to do. We will be probably releasing in Q4 2012.
Stay tuned!
