Mailsail

A sailing game with semi-realistic physics. The game may be played in the browser or downloaded for windows or linux.

Controls

Press [space] to pull on the sheet. The sheet is slowly released when [space] is released.

Use [q] and [e] to position the sailor and counter-balance the force of the wind.

[←] and [→] moves the rudder, and the rudder returns to the center if neither [←] nor [→] is pressed.

Press [space] to start the game from the main menu, and [escape] to pause the game

If you capsize, [enter] will restart the game from the last checkpoint. If you press and hold [enter] you will restart from the start of the game.

My advise is to control the boat with [q], [e] and [space] on the left hand and [←] and
[→] on the right hand.

(ps: [a] and [d] may replace [←] and [→] for playing with one hand.)
