How does the game fit the theme?
You play as a pirate who explores an island to find biscuits for your crew.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I used a tutorial by Shift Click Learn on Youtube for the platformer engine, and used some sound effects from Pixabay, listed in the project's description.

I love this! nice mechanics!
I am blown away by the amount of details and polish for a game made in Scratch in this short amount of time. Amazing job! Killing the crab boss was really satisfying after an embarassing amount of failures.
I showed those crabs who's
bosscaptain!Damn this game is well made and is super polished , well made
There is always a lot of platformers, but rarely they're as great as this one! Amazing job!
One thing I would've liked to see is a healthbar for the bosses, so the player can know how well they're doing
very cute, reminds me of old flash games i played. The bossbattles are pretty sick, i like that they have multiple attack patterns and that they have some character and personality to them with their animations. sometimes it can be kinda hard to angle your attacks to hit certain enemies but I managed. The soundtrack is horrible but I think in a way I prefer it over some royalty free stock music cause you made it yourself and there is a charm to that. good job!!
I liked the fun and charming premise of the game, and it was impressive the amount of content given the type of game and the timeframe of it.
impressive to have not only one but two bossfights with unique mechanics in the game within the timeframe you're working with. Some more change in the music would've been nice since you've already listened to it enough for it to loop multiple times by the time you finish the hilariously written opening sequence
I did enjoy!
Only real complaint: I'm not sure having to walk all the way to the ship back yourself was necessary; maybe if there had been a round 2 against the crab boss - think that would have been a nice surprise.
Love how you tell the context of the game from the dialogue, and the mechanic hint on the cloud. The challenge from the boss is pretty fund. In my opinion, the level structure is quite hard to navigate, it's not from the amount of enemies, but the player ground. In some area it feels cramped and i don't had much space form me to move or act. Good job team for the submission, great game!
Nice graphics! I liked the opening dialogue, which gave context to the game, and a detail I almost missed was the cloud-like keystrokes right at the beginning. It was a really cool tutorial without breaking the flow of the game.
Just to point out a bug, in case you're interested in investigating: before the first mollusk, the game froze when I touched the level where it was.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. I wanted to let you know that the bug should no longer softlock you anymore. I don't really know how to fully fix it, but you instead get sent to the last checkpoint instead of crashing the entire game. It isn't exactly a perfect fix, but it should lessen the severity of the bug.
Good graphics, nice controls, but some enemies are hard to hit, and the soundtrack turned out to be very annoying. Simple melodies and rhythms would be better suited. Otherwise, the game is enjoyable!
Fun art style, smooth animations, and good audio, I was looking forward to getting into it for a bit, but the game kept freezing for me. Seemed to be what others have already touched on with the softlocking. If there's an update for this please do let me know and I'll come back to continue.
I have updated the game and the bug should be less severe now. Instead of getting softlocked, you get sent back to the last checkpoint. I don't really know how to prevent it, but this should make it more playable at least. Thanks for the feedback!
Cute game. I got past the first boss but got the wall softlock twice so it was too much to go on! Priority should definitely be in fixing the corner wall lfreezes but beyond that I'd suggest also going with a more friendly camera so players can see further ahead of them. I felt like I was running into enemies a bit blind sometimes because of the center positioning
The game should no longer freeze when this happens. I think I could try to fix that camera issue too, that sounds like a good idea. Thanks for all the feedback!
I got the jump into a wall crash lol The sprites are so cute and the dialogue was funny!
Sorry about that! I fixed the game so it doesn't softlock you anymore, you just get sent to the last checkpoint. Thanks for the feedback!
Love the look of this game!! I think the crab holding a big gun is super funny haha. Unfortunately I also ran into the issue where I jumped into a wall and the game got stuck. Other than that, awesome work!
This issue should be fixed now. You no longer get softlocked and instead just get sent to the last checkpoint. Thanks for the feedback!
Lovely game that reminded me a lot of those old Nitrome games on Miniclip. Small adventure platformer with a lot of charm, good job!
Thanks for the feedback!
The pixel art and the animations were very charming! I really enjoyed it! I was able to clip out of the crab boss arena on the left wall but the boss fight was quite enjoyable!
I think I fixed this issue so you don't get softlocked anymore. I'm happy you enjoyed the boss fight!
Love the pixel art and the story. I found the game enjoyable!
Thanks for the feedback!
Very solid pixel platformer and pretty difficult in some areas to figure out how to get over and shoot your enemies. I had a couple collision problems that crashed the game for me but it sounds like you're already aware of them.
I think I just fixed this issue, but I'm not entirely sure it works. It didn't happen to me when I tested it, so I don't think it will happen again. I didn't think it was common enough for it to impact anything, but since it happened to you multiple times, I decided I should figure out how to fix it. Thanks for the feedback as well!
