Super polished and well executed game! The card game by itself would be a fun experience with the level of work you put in but the whole cheating mechanic really takes it to another level! The boat moving with the waves and the pirate speak in the dialog were both nice touches.
highly underrated polished gem, only if i knew how to play those card games...
omg, I love 2d and 3d mix so much! I try to use it too, when I can find an artist :)
Game looks fantastic, plays nice, and gives a right amount of seasick :)
Great submission!
Like another comment mentioned, this game really deserves more visibility. It’s incredible and so funny! I especially love the visuals, particularly the wave. I started playing normally, and then I discovered that you can try to cheat, it’s really fun, especially when the captain gets angry haha. Really nice game! <3
I think this game need more visibility! It's a golden pirate comedy that mad me laugh the whole plays! Love how interactive the game, how polish the visuals and feedback, and the narrative is top notch. Can't believe you mad this great game in a week! Great game
Thanks, such feedbacks really mean a lot to us. It really feels to me like our most polished gamejam game so far, and I'm happy people like the concept. We were worried all along about people not understanding the point of the game or not getting interested, and it's so cool to see so many genuinely positive feedbacks from so many people.
This is top notch! Fun and funny, and the card game and cheating mechanics work great!
Great art, nice audio design, and really fun mechanics. The card game was super simple to understand but had some depth to it at the same time. Cheating was fun! The hints definitely helped me realize the *best* way to cheat. Really cool!
Art style is awesome and the interactivity is such a nice feature. Even though I had no idea how to play the card game, I really enjoyed the game lol. Just stealing cards and placing the smaller numbers back for him to pick up. Great job!
Hey, thanks for your review ! There is a "tutorial" at the start when he ask you if you know the "Hold yer liquor" game and you pick yes :)
This Game was so much fun, I loved the Graphics and the Visuals. The Paper sprite in 3D enviroment looks Great and i love them :D. Loved the mechanics and the dialogues. Bro got mad really fast ;D
Rated 10/10
Very addictive game! I really like the visuals!
5/5
This was a super cool game! I really like the take on the theme and the way you can distract the pirate by throwing things. And the game has nice polish too!
OMG, I had so much fun!! haha!
Loved how you implemented the theme and the 'throw things' mechanic!
The art is amazing too!! loved all aspects of it!!
Great implementation!! I can see this as a full steam release! 💪💪✨😊
Looks so great, having the card physically really adds to the atmosphere. Near the end I think I pulled like 3 tricks at the same time for a full hand of good stuffs. Managed to win in the end :D. I guess it's partially inspired by Inscrytion in a way
I so glad to hear you managed to finish the game, not many did, congratz, I hope you liked the ending and the beautiful music by Obani ! Yes, Inscription was one of our inspiration, with Buckshot Roulette and King of the Bridge.
I guess the trick is to learn when to cheat or not, I did need to concede one round because even if I cheat I have no way out, so save the cheat for the next round :P. I guess I did stay for the artwork lol
Nice! Not many people made it this far, which ending did you choose?
Yeah it was clearly inspired a lot by Inscryption and King of the Bridge, even tho it plays a bit like tabletop simulator
I did choose to become one of them :P, who wouldn't want to be a murderous pirate of the sea when the captain is so easily distracted
I love the idea, and graphically it looks spectacular, congratulations.
This one blew me away, so interactive and fun! The stress it builds up over time is crazy, sadly so that old bastard is so tough i couldnt beat em even with dam cheats! really fun game and the visuals and acting are great, the dialogue is funny too :D
This game is so well made. The art style and the atmosphere are really great, and the gameplay is easy to understand and pick up. The menu i also really neat.
My only issue was that the cards were so sluggish and finnicky, i often ended up wasting my distraction time just fiddling with the controls.
Other than that i wish the pirate's speech waited for me to read, my native language is not english and it takes me a moment to understand, it was hard to keep up with, especially with the white text on bright background.
Overall still a very solid game.
Yeah we clearly made the text go by too fast, and the font being hard to read makes it even harder. I saw even native english speakers have a hard time reading some of the texts, so you don't have to blame your english level for that. It's too hard for everyone aha.
And yeah, the cards can be hard to control. We probably should have registered some events based on the direct mouse position and not the smoothed card position... Sounds like a good potential improvement
EDIT: the mouse position is actually used for the hand, so fixing this is more about adjusting the gamefeel with a lot of testing and different feedbacks, something we probably would only achieve by chance in a 1 week jam
Agree, the art style is fantastic! Interesting concept and really on theme. I thought you did a great job setting the narrative at the start, too - Great entry!
Artstyle in this game is awesome! I really like it. The pirate theme is definitely unique. Awesome upload
Impresive art and atmosphere. This is one of the most inmmesive takes on cheating of the jam for sure. Congrats!
Amazing, truly immersive. The cheating idea is really cute and well done. The writing isn't very readable, and I don't think I understood some of the game's rules. Well done, though!
