We had a lot of fun testing your game during our live stream today, here is a link to the video archive wish to check again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFx5tA14Nyc&t=2246s

Thanks for being part of the stream! 

I have a question for you: Was the cannon ball explosion a bug or normal? (see this clip: https://www.twitch.tv/tobugis/clip/PricklyEncouragingPastaShazBotstix )

Thanks for playing the game! And that cannon ball explosion was most likely the kraken glitching, I hadn't set up the delta time properly which meant fire rate of enemies was faster than I'd anticipation

It's honestly incredible to see how good mode7 graphics can look with a modern engine, I'm super inspired by the look you've pulled off. The turtle ship is wonderful, there's a solid little gameplay loop and the sound effects emphasize exactly what they need to. Great job!

If you explore more behaviours in your AI it may make for more interesting exchanges of weapons fire, I'd look into basic boids like movement as a start. The music can get a bit harsh, especially with instrument samples that are more square than sin in so many layers. It could probably be improved by removing layers. Maybe consider separating the palm tree from the island so you can swim past it.

that was cool, I like the concept of the animal ships, and the aesthetic is great. I think it glitched out after my first level though, every other level after it was empty?

Great graphics, music, sfx. Remember the famous Mode7 of snes. I quibble but with some billboard sprite for the character and palm tree it could be even better. The gameplay is simple but it works. Really good mood. Well done.

I like how you approached the graphics, nice pixel art from an unusual perspective. The gameplay is quite trivial but I liked a lot of parameters and options to upgrade them. The music comes together nicely and creates a good mood. Good job!

I liked it. The enemy ship's range was a little too long and could hit me from off screen though.

I enjoyed that, was fun, good art.  Needs a goal and more random enemies. sailed around for a while and only got to fight once then got beached on a rock.

I really liked the art-style. Reminds me of the faux 3D effects from the snes era

Very cool graphics, I liked the style
