Simple but enjoyable take on the theme. The cartoony visuals are the best part.

The captain really needs to put those wine bottles away...

Loved the graphics and audio! This was a very solid concept for a game and I enjoyed playing. I was thinking as I went along that being able to control the angle and force with which objects could be thrown would have made it very interesting! Also, the ship was already mostly balanced. I wonder how it would have changed the gameplay to start out with an empty deck and maybe have objects fall onto the deck in random places, creating a dynamic environment to balance out? You could even get silly and have a shark flop up on the deck or something (so in other words, good objects like treasure = keep, bad objects need to get thrown overboard). Just some ideas. Great job on this, though!

It's a very good game! I'm a bit frustrated that I couldn't survive the whole game after multiple trials, because the controls are a bit difficult. But I really like the game idea and the visuals, especially the drunk sailor!

A great game that I really enjoyed.

The graphics and sound were perfect, but I thought the controls were a little difficult, and I thought the game was a little challenging, so I couldn't finish it.

But all in all, it was a great experience!

I'd really appreciate it if you could try out my game too, rate it, and share your feedback. It would mean a lot!

The art is extremely cute! Controls are very simple to understand and you get the hang of it quick. The game music work well! I love the characters. 
Would love if you could go check out my game, Load it up!

Nice match with the theme! Well done!

I think the idea is really cool and fun, and with some refining the gameplay could be great! I did end up standing still with nothing really happening, holding the captain, until like 30 seconds where I had to move a bit of stuff around. If the ship is already balanced, why do anything?

Very interesting theme and works well with the gameplay!

Both the art, music, and concept are really great, but unfortunately, the controls are quite problematic. The action of picking up/throwing objects kept glitching for me, making the game almost impossible to play (either I’d pick up multiple items at once and things would get weird, or I’d grab an object and instead of me controlling it, the object would control me, or things like that).

I hope you can fix those collider issues because once I figured out what the game was about, I really think it has a lot of potential

Very funny game! And such a cool concept! Had lots of fun flinging the cargo around on the stormy ship. The gameplay’s pretty chaotic, but at the same time it’s not confusing in the slightest. My favourite genre of game.

Perfectly fits the theme.

Keep it up, great work!

P.S. I loved how the main character seemed to stroll along to the background music haha. Just a little thing, but it made a huge difference lol
