Great art direction and general style! This game looks great!

However, you need to play a bit more with your mechanics, and possibly zoom the camera out or add a mini-map to help the player with situational awareness!

A game like this has potential, but how can you incentivise making long chains? right now it just makes the most compelling part of the gameplay, the fun momentum-based movement, clunky and not fun. it is cool that you can make long chains but why would i want to if it feels so slow? Also the Jaws-like music is cool but the background music is not doing it for me, it is fine except it is like a 3 second loop and gets old really fast

The concept is good and the gameplay was good too.

The art and music give the game a cool vibe. The idea of ships joined together fits well with the theme.

The gameplay could be a bit smoother. Responsive Controls and turning the camera to face the direction of the ship would make the ship easier to control.

Nice gameplay! I think boat movement should more smooth but it is nice game

There were a couple bugs in the system; for some reason the enemy pirates/sharks seemed to delete themselves before ever reaching the convoy. Turn rate should definitely be increased somewhat to make it feel more responsive, especially before attatching any ships.

I agree with one of the previous commenters that the ship-chaining thing is very interesting, and I think that it should be a core game design tenet; something like, the more ships you chain together you get a higher score or something. As of now, it's way easier to take in one ship at a time.

It would be good if there was something more than just trying to get those 5 star reviews. I think that if this were expanded, a decent direction to go would be to include a business-type aspect to the game: get money to expand/upgrade your boat over time.

I think it's an interesting idea, definitely. The art is fairly cohesive, and the music is fine - but short and could use a few more bars. Good work!

I liked the graphic touch ^^ But controls are quite hard to master.

Fun concept, I think the controls are a little hard to use though

Linking multiple ships together at once to create a chain was a very interesting mechanic, and I wished that the other mechanics encouraged doing that more often.

the game is pretty original, but the music was on a very short loop and lots of beeps happening which i didn't really understand the meaning of.. would be a fun game i'm sure with more time :)

Thank you! I think you are talking about the Submarine enemy ship approaching. You hear beepy sounds then. And for the main theme, the sounds were created, just didn't have the time in the end. But we are extremely happy besides all that. :)
