Interesting concepts and great job on the art! I loved how visually distinct the villages were.

I would have liked the option to have an ingame note pad of sorts to keep track of what I purchased the items at and what places at certain goods/prices. It was a bit difficult especially paired with the language challenge.

Cute little pixel art game. I was a little bit confused at first. Maybe a little tutorial or explanations. Anyway good job !

Nice concept.

Adding a way to invest money into boat or crew upgrades could bring extra depth and progression.
Good work overall!
I’d love to hear your thoughts on our game as well if you get the chance

I think like most others I struggled a little at first but the language turned into part of the fun! I enjoyed the game  figuring stuff out and bopping along to the music!

It reminds me of a Nintendo DS pirate - trading game, cool!

I was very confused until I realised the text was meant to be strange languages, haha. Then it was actually really cool trying to interpret what everything was!

Personally I would have like a little more direction/a concrete goal, but I really enjoyed what you'd been able to make in the time!

This is a fantastic jam entry, potential for a great full game here. Great work. The language is.... confusing.

Looks great! Love the style.

Interesting idea! Overcoming the language barrier was pretty difficult. Absolutely loved the music variants on ports!

It has a great base game, the time management system and trading with vendors seems really good. I do wish there was more a goal like reaching a certain amount of money. The unique languages aspect was interesting, it did make it harder to trade, but it was a fun concept.

A fellow ship sailing game! Cool that you built a seemingly big map for the game. The economy seemed a bit confusing for me though andsome of the text very hard to read.

Great game but i was a bit lost at first! maybe it could have fitted the theme a bit more.
