Really fun little game. RTS gameplay is well implemented and the game itself is a nice challenge. Nothing beats MONKEYS!

Error while downloading applet...?

Great game! A little too hard at the beginning, though. How did you create the applet? I have an application written with slick that I would like to applet up.

Maybe I just suck, but I found this waaaay too hard, couldn't really achieve anything. Decent scope for a weekend, but I think you'd have benefited from less mechanics and more polish.

The game probably is a bit too hard at the moment, I made a few last minute tweaks to it that I most likely shouldn't have, and didn't have enough time to implement a difficulty setting option. I might continue to develop it further though.

Nice game. Was hard to see which guy you had selected though

This is a neat idea! (but in need of balancing. This is incredibly hard)

I also like the mumbled voices (remind of Blendo-games). How do you create those?

Good game, although as was already said, too hard. Quick switching between sailors via numeric keys would help a lot. One of the better I've seen so far, congratulation.

I totally lost. Very fun approach but the interface should be much improved.

Very ambitious for a 48 hour compo. I have a similar project so I know how tough it is to complete this. I found it slow and confusing in the beginning, but the graphics were really clear and functional, and I like the feedback on the AI state of the sailors.

very nice, although very hard, i had lots if monkeys at once, it seems random but maybe a bit too aggressive
