Good thing there's checkpoints! Fun concept, love the pixels, but controls were a bit hard for me. Solid game though!

I loved the idea how you control the ship and cannons! Very enjoyable to play.

Hard to avoid enemy attacks.

Nice job.

It's really hard to avoid cannonballs, but the idea is cool. It's a bit weird that enemies can just go through you. 

With some more polish I can see it being really enjoyable. If you'll continue to work on this after the jam then maybe consider different types of cannonballs to keep things interesting :P

Slowing down is really the only way.

Well done but it was hard to dodge and hit things, which I guess was the point?

Artwork and overall gameplay was great! Loved the controls and the animation, especially the sails opening and closing. However, I feel like the the audio and the different bars could do a bit better. Considering it was done in 48hs, great job!

Thanks! I added the ui and sound frantically this morning before work. I was grimacing the whole time, really wish I could've had more time

Yeah I didn't give myself enough time to playtest and the game is way too hard. 10 minutes before submission it was like 10x harder though

Neat game. I had some issues with the audio tho (definitly multiple audio sources playing at the same time which really distorts the audio) :(

The concept is pretty interesting and the way that the speed is controlled is intuitive. I also like how your HP regenerates after a while of not being attacked, since you can survive longer. The artwork was pretty good, as well.
