Kind of an obvious concept to work with, but a fun one. In a way, going obvious is in itself original - I've seen more sky islands (my own game included) than water islands.
Obviously, the game could use improved graphics and, as you say yourself, more events, better balance, etc., but it's a good start. Reminds me of Strange Adventures in Infinite Space, which isn't a bad thing. I hope you continue to work on it now that LD is over!
Dinosaur island was a nice surprise.
Good start. Has potential, but a little too random right now. I thought it odd that it always asked me "do you want to dig up the treasure?", "do you want to fight pirates?". The answer seems a tad obvious.
I must admit that the load-out screen almost made me put off playing this indefinitely, but once I spotted the 'default' button, I was able to play about and enjoy myself.
Very nice. I liked the cutscene graphics and the overall game is solid for a weekend effort. The piano music was a nice choice, too.
Thank you for the default load-out button!
Yay for the Priests! My team only had priests and they rock. Priest Pirates arrgggg!!!!
Pretty cool, I met a wide variety of unfortunate ends :)
Despite the description, I always brought a priest just in case...
Hehe, nice! The humor gives it a lot of extra points.
LOL I found a dinosaur. This game was quite entertaining, but unfortunately I always had trouble outrunning storms.
Good game. Is there a goal actually? I tried to explore the full map but usually the crew mutinied before. There's not too much you can do against that?
More events, bigger map!
The load-out was a little too complicated and didn't feel important enough. The events felt pretty brutal and arbitrary, without deep tactics.. Having said all that I did enjoy pottering about quite a bit, and there's a lot of potential here.
Really solid entry.
