Very happy to finally put floaties in the game. It's always been painful to me when I’ve watched kids play and their little 3 yo sibling was just kinda dragging them down. Now, the question is how easily will players figure out how to use floaties? I think I need to smooth that process.


I appreciate those who have submitted feedback with F9 (or clicking the little box). And, as always, if you want to playtest the beta or find people to play with, join the Discord: https://discord.com/invite/fYZFNTB
