I thought the people were running to the sides and when you touched them they moved away but that was not the case as they just fall around which looks just odd. It seems the tilt and the reaction is very delayed and it is random if you can land them in the boats. When they fall in the water it is hit or miss to rescue them. It just does not seem like there is really any challenge to the game. I would really like to see the people running instead of falling around like dead fish. Also I think by tapping in an read the people should move away from that area so you can direct them to certain portions of the boat. Greatly increase the response time and then I think it will be a really good game. I got the game after I watched the video.

I'm off to the app store. It's brilliant to see how developers are using the elegant and new controls. We're really at a point where gameplay and useability is more important than cut scenes and long loading times... this is just what we need!

Not even saying this is a glitch but, for example, if you need folk to fall off to the left and they're already moving that way you might want to straighten up the ship after a slight dip as opposed to keep tilting left until they drop where you want them.
