That pixel art looks very cool! It took a little while to understand how to play, but once I did it seemed too easy to play against AI. Also, it would've been nice to mention the controls in the menu and I missed a replay button! Good job :-)

What should be doneThank ye for yer kind words, but most of the graphics was looted on the high seas...
Also, glad to hear yer not a landlubber, but I've updated game description with instructions for those who arrrr .D
Intended to make another smarter bot who can bount or at least counter-bount, as well as instructions, cut scene, and replay option but time was scares and seas were rough...
Fair winds to ye!
I liked the logo/title. It was pretty challenge to bount the mates!

Tumbleweed Typo HunterIt's fun, I wish the AI could bount and the controls were a bit less awkward, the bount could have had an animation to make the startup/cooldown clearer and the key could have been on the other side of the board. I think it could be a lot more fun with some polish

Nature's BountyThank ye for yer kind words!
I intended to have another much smarter bot who can bount or at least counter-bount, to have bount indicatiors, rotating hands, animations etc. but blimey! couldn't make it all in time .D
It was designed from the beginning as one-keyboard 2 player game, so each player has only half of the keyboard at disposal, hence awkward controls... I agree they could be made better.
I like the art, though some animations wouldn't be bad. It did take a while to figure out what the goal was. But I liked it! Never heard the term "bount" before.

Lost TreasureYe old barrel of moonshine!
Animations would be excellent, if I just had enough time to add them (along with bunch of more planned polish) :D
Glad you figured it out, I did update the description with instructions, might prove useful to others!
pssss I made it up, but keep this to yerself if you don't feel inclined to become shark bait ☠️🦈
Now thats an interesting way to approach the team! I learned a new word! To Bount!
Betraying others to get ahead! Now that's being a dastardly pirate! Reminds me of a movie I've seen before! (Although it's somehow difficult to recall! *wink wink wink*) Good job!
