How does your game fit the theme?
The game has 2 phases, a calm peaceful phase and choatic storm phase.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Code is mostly mine. A lot of the assets used are from Kenney's Assets. Music and cannonball sounds are made by my wife and I.

pretty addictive game play, loved to go around destroying ships . Challenging as well
Pretty fun! It's funny how the music was so peaceful and serene while I was blasting away at innocent merchant ships. Having to maintain my ammo, food and repair my ship was cool, but would've liked some upgrades as well.
The game froze during the boss battle with the big ship that shot 3 cannoballs at once. I got it looking like just a big metal cannon, then shot at it for awhile, and then it froze - my guess this happened as the thing was about to explode.
Really cute graphics and aesthetic! Took me a bit to get used to moving around with the controls but after that it was pretty fun!
Considering the scope of a Game Jam this is a really fun and polished game. One small thing I would've changed is the Cursor Colour. It's a little hard to see sometimes.
This game is so cool! i love the graphic design and the surging music,it's like i'm the Jack Sparrow haha. I also didn't encounter any bugs,nice job!It's so hard to complete such a game in a short time,but think the only thing can be improved is that maybe next time you can add move enemies or maps,it's a little bit easy for me :)
The storm music was pretty catchy, but the game got repetitive and stale after the first few rounds.
I love that those ships just let themselves be sunk by you without doing anything just because it's not during the storm, that's hilarious. Really liked the music a lot especially, very nice game!
The music is too loud but I love how the ocean looks and how it moves. The movement of the boat feels good as well. Good job. You could add more vfx to it and it would even better but alas we only have limited time.
I liked the pirate theme concept. The art is great, and the water is well done. I played for a while and enjoyed the game! It feels like being in One Piece with the bounty XD.
1) the music is bopping when it hits storm time
2) the purchase area being a place in game you can sail up to reminds me of DOTA for some reason I liked it haha
3) The movement feels very good, often times ship combat movement can feel sluggish, but the right recipe is here. The turn is speedy but still methodical and snappy as well. The AI was good, adhering to the same turning limitations. They didn't feel like they were always bee-lining at me and were dancing a bit, this gave the combat a good flow and feel, felt like proper ship to ship combat, which I love!
Liked this one a lot!
Nice job! It's a simple concept but I feel like you executed it well and the end result seems pretty polished. I especially like the wave effect. One thing that I think might make things a bit better is some sort of visual transition between phases. It's a bit abrupt and jarring at the moment, but that could just be my opinion.
