I'd be super suspicious of anyone who claimed to be good at this game. I made it super fast and it tries to use a bit of 'sailing theory', so between the bugs and the necessity to move at angles against the wind, the game is pretty hard. Thanks for playing though :D

I think the best I got was... 1 island for a destination, and then reaching that destination to get a 2nd one... the I crashed into rocks lol.
The wind direction and sailing theory is super awesome, though. It keeps things interesting and adds a fun challenge to it all. Would be cool if there was a practice mode that completely opened the middle section of the map. I think that would really help get a feel for the basic controls and concept.
