Pretty cool main concept, the issue I had was the controls felt kind of annoying. I tried going under crescent island but there is land blocking you when there isn't on the map. Other than that it was actually very good. Well done

I loved this game, it reminds me a lot of my childhood

To be honest, I didn't understand very well what to do, I know it says it at the beginning of the game, but I still feel confused, I don't quite understand where I am on the map, and I feel that the introduction is too heavy, I'm probably the only one to whom this happens, but it's just my simple perspective, still, as everyone has said, the art style is really good, although in my opinion the music feels a bit stressful

A pretty vast game for such a small console. I do like the art and it felt good cruising the ocean, even though the ships were shooting constantly all the time. I like it!

Cute art and concept, I love the feeling of exploring the big map. The ship aiming is a little unintuitive but it's manageable. Shooting the ships is kinda frustrating imo but it's not a big deal. Overall great work!

Is this your first big project in Pico-8? Because this is very a very good result!

Initially I found it a bit strange you could shoot in one direction, but after figuring out the direction depends on where your ship is facing, it got a lot easier. The resource-collection system is very cool too - adds a great interaction.

I love following maps in games and this worked really well. 

Also I went to the spot on the map with the cat swimming and didn't find anything. Not even a little easter egg? Ahah, just kidding...

Great entry!
