I really like how the controls don't perfectly listen to you, and for things like aiming and steering you have to intentionally think ahead, while I assume that wasn't the intent, it did make it feel like a swashbuckling battle of wits, trying to outthink everyone else on the sea to become king of the pirates. This was a lot of fun, very great work putting it all together!

That's good to hear!
The lack of precision controls for the tasks on the boat is something we planned from the start. For the steering it's intended to be something you hop on and off as you go, adjusting to the situation in the moment. For the cannon aiming the indicator does a lot of heavy lifting, it's a case of learning how much to lead your shots!
Imagine how much less piratey it'd feel if the boat controlled like a go-kart and the cannons were hitscan, bleh!
I'm glad the swashbuckling vibe came across, we were hoping the game would feel like a frantic battle to keep the ship alive :D
