That was a lot of fun to play. I like the slower, more deliberate pace of traveling around and fighting other ships, repairing your own, etc. The dice game for a cannon hit is a neat idea and upgrading your cannon = more die is well thought out too. Ended on Gentleman Pirate, I didn't think that was too bad... no Pirate King though.

The art is top notch in this project. I'm not at sprite artist so it's always especially impressive when things like shading and object depth can be communicated so convincingly, and with little color to boot. Seriously, great work. The music was also really good, perfect for the atmosphere! I most enjoyed the intro/final screen tune. And the composition while on the main map screen really complimented the gameplay.

I think only 2 things really stuck out to me. First, maybe have a different sound effect for when you successfully barter for something and when you don't have the right trade item to do that. Second, I'm not a huge fan of screens with gameplay info having a timer before they go away. For someone like me that has to read things a couple of times to get the gist, it can be kind of a hinderance. That's just personal preference, I guess. Anyway, good job and congrats to all of you for this one. Awesome game.

Hi,

this game is very nice! Love the gameplay, love the art, love the music: it's really good! Only thing that I would love to see is the ability to be able to roll the dices to heal in battle (or have I missed this one?) Everything being completely up to luck is also something different than other games. The game is really fleshed out for a ~10-day jam and you created a project that seems complete to me :) I'm not sure how the theme is matched, though.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

Thank you for the feedback Remi!

You can actually repair by trading for the "hammers" in the first port. Definitely need to make that more clear in the game, other people also missed it. The loop theme is in the movement and map layout - you can only loop round and round the whirlpool and can't move backwards at all.

That's a very clever way of implementing the loop theme, I'll be changing my rating right away!

One of the best games I played in this jam so far! I loved the art and the tabletop system in this game. The only thing I would suggest was to improve the booty management system. Like the possibility to choose what to keep or drop of after a battle, and the trading screens, where once I happened to click at the spice in my cargo and it just vanished. But this isn't a complaint in any way, just something maybe you could improve. Anyway, congrats on the game! It's also the jam game I spent more time playing!

Really cool game! I love the art-style, really beautiful!

Also a good idea to make a game inspired by table-top games!

Developer

Thank you!

We love tabletop games and thought they fit a loop theme for replay-ability pretty well.

Beautiful game!

Congratulations!

Liked the game, but the font was in places quite hard to read.

Developer

Thank you. We also found the text a bit hard to read in some places, but had to stick with the pixel pirate font for thematic reasons. Might continue working on the game after the jam so definitely something we'll try to improve.

That was really fun! Good use of opacity in your art style

Developer

Thanks! Yeah we didn't want to go purely black and white, so messed around a lot with alpha channels to get some different tones and shading effects.
