Looks like a neat retro-style game which somehow reminds me of those lunar lander games. Should be fun...

To counterpoint the pure marketing seen so far, I'd like to comment on the design. It looks strange when the terrain (and water probably) are in perspective. Looks like they are seen from perhaps 30º up. The boat is seen from nearly zenith. About 80º up from the other side. Viewing perspective mismatch of 70º overall.
