Swellbound

Get wrecked, salvage, go further.

Wash up on an island, lash a raft together from wreckage, and push off into an ocean that only gets rougher. You'll be broken apart every run — but how far you got is salvage, and salvage buys the parts that carry you past the wave that stopped you.

Every run ends in the water. That's the point — the ocean is the thing you're slowly learning to beat.
