Nice game with lots of unlockable. The game is hard without speed upgrade, though.
Thanks! Yeah I might need to change the difficulty somewhat for a future version
Very cool game, great mechanics, the visuals reminded me of old-school Windows games like "Ski Free", childhood nostalgia hit me right in the feels !
Excellent job !
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
It was very fun!
Nice pirate theme!
It was very fun!
Nice pirate theme!
Thanks I appreciate it!
Simple effective little game.
The shop stuff definitely increases the playability with something to work towards.
Movement could be improved for a more satisfying sailing romp, maybe also add some active component like being able to shoot.
Thanks for the feedback! We were thinking about a shooting mechanic but couldn't finalise it due to the time constraints :)
Great stuff! The graphics and music really fit the theme of the game well. I feel like it starts out maybe a bit more difficult than it needs to, but with some practice that's not an issue. Good job!
Thanks for the feedback! It does get easier after you've bought some upgrades but you might be right
I need more unlockables
Might add more after the voting period ends ;)
I found myself playing this for a long time lmao. Very addictive.
Very cool stuff :)
Thanks!
Oh, the life of a pirate for me! Was hard work, but the sea vibe made it feel like tropical vacation :)
Haha awesome!
Had a great time with your game! I've been craving a really good pirate-esque game. Though it's just boats, and not pirates. The game is really fun, and the replay value kept getting me to come back. (Got 100%). Dude, this game is amazingly entertaining and replayable you should be proud
Thanks I really appreciate it! :)
I really enjoyed playing it
(There is a small bug, when you have the exact amount of coins to buy an upgrade you are not able to)
Ah thanks for pointing this out! Completely missed it :)
Arts nice so is game
Thanks!
Came back to play it again.
Art, gameplay, motivation, replay. Very well done.
Glad you liked it :)
Very punishing game haha I got to around 73 I think, but by that point only upgraded once in the shop. I think the procedural generation could maybe be easier at the beginning of the run and then get harder as the player progresses. Was fun, though :)
Thanks for the feedback! We're trying to figure out the difficulty for a future version. Do you think it was too difficult?
I guess I didn't spend too much time trying to git gud, but mostly just felt that some of the sections where you have to shift the ship quickly from one side of the screen to the other were nearly impossible at base speed given the size of the ship and the narrowness of the corridors that are generated. I didn't really feel like I was getting better and I never got far enough to run out of water for example so I felt like I was sorta put off by the difficulty and also that the progression seemed a bit too "harsh" (a lot of the good first upgrades required like 50+ coins).
I see! Yeah some corners can be hard without upgrades. For those you would have to first row up and then go sideways while rowing back down to buy some time. Thanks for the feedback, will definitely keep it in mind! :)
I didn't know you could row down hahaha but that's probably my bad
I loved the music it sounds really nice. My high score is 135
Awesome! Which upgrades did you buy?
The speed upgrade
Really hard, but you have a really fun mechanic!
Thanks! Was it too hard or hard enough while still being fun? We're trying to finetune the difficulty for a future version
