For the best experience we strongly recommend players use a gamepad.

First off, I don't know if it's just me but I really preferred playing with a mouse & keyboard. The steering still felt kinda odd but I had a much better experience than when using a gamepad. Other than that I liked the mechanics that were showcased (such as the net and harpoon), though there wasn't really enough time to get used to using them properly, and I love the overall atmosphere of the game, the colour palette and music is very pleasing.
Looking forward to any updates to this game (if there be any to come ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
Thanks for checking out the game. We had a bunch of feedback during playtesting that people weren't happy with the steering on the mouse & keyboard, and thought the gamepad thumb stick was a bit more intuitive. Based on that we thought the gamepad might be the stronger choice between the two, but there's definitely room for improvement. Most of us are graduating in the next few weeks, and we're hoping to keep working on HTBM if we can, it's just a bit unclear at the moment. Thanks again for the feedback!
I really love the art, music and environment, but when it comes down to gameplay it just feels a little on the slow and clunky end. That may have been the goal , but it was enough to effect my overall impression of the game. Pretty solid though!
Hey! Thanks so much for checking out the game, the video was great. Definitely going to take a lot of that feedback on board.
