wow amazing production value for a gamejam game
it was a bit slow on my machine, but still had a blast
Thank you so much!
We have a downloadable version that will run (and look) better as it has a lot more optimization flags enabled. It unfortuantely took too long to build a more optimized web version, even with the extension.
We tried to get as polished as we can in the time we had so that's a great compliment!
Fun gameplay, and very creative idea!
A bit more responsive controls and faster repairing speed might help make the game even funnier <3
Thanks! Yeah we've heard a lot about the controls. the repair speed we found was hard to balance
Great game, it feels really good and fun !
Thank you! Glad you had a good time.
so creative i like it hi hi captine haha
Thanks!
This is so creative, I can't believe you made this in such a small time frame! I am disappointed I couldn't walk the plank though lol Haha jokes aside, this is really impressive. The visuals look so amazing and it's all put together really well. Good job :)
Funnily enough I did suggest making jumping from the plank possible and also run ending! It also very nearly made it in! But it got cut last minute </3 Glad you liked it though :D
Awesome loop interpretation! Damn, i want at least a second player here for sure, this game has some solid co-op hell experience :D
Thanks! It definitely can feel like you need a second player sometimes, though I think that stress is half the fun of the game haha, it makes you feel cool when you solo carry a ship like that, glad you enjoyed it!
oh this game fucks
I was pretty overwhelmed when the game started, but it all clicked really fast and the multitasking was extremely satisfying! I showed it to friends and they immediately wanted to reinstall Sea of Thieves. I agree with the other comments that I wish the steering was a little more responsive, maybe it could be an upgrade! :3 Also, on my first playthrough I died to an enemy ship running into a mine near me... Super super fun interpretation of the theme! AWESOME job!!!
Oh, hey! Kobold Cuisine guy :D Good to see you again!
Quite a few people agree about the steering (including me!), but it just about works where it is right now. With more time it's one of the higher priority adjustments I think, but we're otherwise really happy with how it came out in the end. So glad you enjoyed it! ~<3 (also, thanks for showing your friends!! We appreciate that a lot)
What a fun and challenging game! Love how the game progress and keeps introducing new elements
Thank you! We had plans for a couple extra features like a research bench you had to interact with similar to the sails to get the cannon upgrades, but had to cut them for time. Glad there was still enough in there to keep it interesting!
Had a lot of fun with this one. Def kept me busy and engaged!
Thanks for playing :)
Super cool game! Looks great and had a lot of mechanics to engage with! Definitely felt the panic of soloing a ships jobs, and you had a lot content in there!
It was tough to beat, but I just managed it! Luckily the debris gets you some freebies, cause i was very bad at juggling the 3 jobs on the boat in time haha. I wouldve liked it if i could control the camera during repair as that was stressful, and if it was a little bit quicker overall.
We're not sure how many people are actually beating the game, but I'm glad to hear when people do! We messed around with the repair cam quite a bit, even now I find myself jostling the mouse in the hopes it's magically going to move haha
Follow up to the precious comment.
Just finished the game. It is the best I have played on this jam so far! Super interesting and challenging boss battle. If it was a demo of a full game, I would buy it immediately!
Wow! That's high praise! We all appreciate it <3 Super glad you made it all the way to the end, good job!!
Wow, this is super neat! I like the hectic feeling of trying to manage everything at once, and the visuals are awesome!
Thanks, glad you liked it! We wanted more on the boat to do but even now, as you say, it's quite hectic haha. Appreciate the play!
So cool idea of controlling different modules of a ship with a charatcer! It is like small version of Sea of Thieves. Nice looking visuals and good music! I really like this game!
Sea of Thieves is an interesting comparison. We didn't have it in mind when brainstorming, but in hindsight I totally see how it's similar.
Thank you so much!
Great game! Loved the cannon gameplay especially, and the boat was fun but maybe could have used higher steering speed!
I find the first cannon to be so slow but after that I think it really picks up, glad you enjoyed it though! Thanks for playing :D
Great game! would have enjoyed it even more if the boat was faster, but the game is already very good! if i have one feedback it's on the thumbnail, the text is a bit hard to read :)
Thank you! Yeah the boat has been a common feedback point, you're totally right. I'm happy you still had a good time with the game otherwise!
We threw together the thumbnail a little last minute. It turned out great, but as you say the text can be hard to read.
(in case you didn’t know, you can still edit the thumbnail)
This game is so fun!! It reminds me of that scene from pirates of the caribbean and thats awesome!
Thanks for playing! I'm glad we managed to compare to something like that!
This is amazing!!! The multitasking gameplay is really fun, I just wish the boat steering was a bit more forgiving. I would love to see this more polished up! Great work for such a short time. 10/10
Good to hear you enjoyed it!
The multitasking was something we set our sights on really soon after we had the whirlpool idea, and I'm super happy with how it came out in the final game.
We'll have to nerf any future boat controllers we make as we may have tuned it a tensy bit too unweildy ;D
Well... this such a good game and i really like art style but i found bug that player stuck in between barrel and can't escape so i can do just watch the ship go to rock until dead..
AH yes well... That's because I forgot to move the barrels after also encountering this whilst testing... Glad you liked the art though and thought it was fun, even if you did have to slowly watch your impending doom approach :D
Great game! I wish the upgrades were a bit cheaper, or you don't need to get them again after you die, but it was fun to slowly steer around and shoot the cannons!
Happy to hear you enjoyed it! I think balancing the resources was somewhat difficult as sometimes you'd get all of them really quick and other times it'd take ages. Did you manage to beat the Kraken?
no lol, but i think i got him to half hp.
Yeah balancing in jams is hard, our game's last stage also ended up a bit too hard :P
Great game! Everything works very well and it's a lot of fun to play! Well done, everyone!
Thank you so much, it means a lot.
