Could you also compile for linux64, please?

uuav 2012-04-24 08:52

@NacMacNeedle: it's uploaded now, I have no way to test it!

The game totally crashed when I tried to quit it after finishing, apart from that...
WHOA, that was awesome! Graphics are cute, humor is great, I laughed so hard at the end. A bit short, but who cares.
Sound and controls are nice too!
Extra points for doing a native Mac build ;)

Pirates + magic = awesomeness

sanguine 2012-04-24 14:24

Love the art style!

maximschoemaker 2012-04-24 14:26

That was pretty random xD funny though, and superb graphics :3

Couldn't get the Linux version to even recognize the downloaded file as a ZIP file, much less extract it.

Loved the audio and humour!

kasarun 2012-04-25 07:37

Haha nice ending ;)

unicornpooping 2012-04-25 12:18

Short :-( BUT AWESOME!!!!!! :-) Really funny. Great graphics and art style. Music and sound. Great!

chrismcr 2012-04-25 12:18

Another vote here for the art style!

zillix 2012-04-26 05:41

Loved the offbeat style. The ending was just icing on that cake. Super pretty style!

leafo 2012-04-26 05:47

Haha, nice ending. I really liked the graphics. Everything was super smooth, now finish it!

It goes incredibly slow. Took 3 minutes to get to "Hello tiny pirate!"

uuav 2012-04-26 10:06

@Suese so the game will last you at least 30min!!

it may come from several point =
first it's coding using processing wich is by it's own not that fast,
second I code only for fun and learned by my own and so I do a lot of stupid redondant things that slow down everything more than ever !
third it may not work on a C64
:)
I'm kidding but sorry if it don't run well on your machine, thank you, you had the courage to wait for 3 minutes to see the boat arriving!
Your game is really great by the way while a bit slow :)

OH MAN this is beautiful. The sound is superb as well. Too bad it only lasts like a minute and a half, though. Decided to jump to this game based on your excellent post mortem.

kylerhoades 2012-04-26 11:02

Lol. This game had an awesome feel about it. I was all set to go on an epic adventure when the game ended incredibly abruptly (most unexpected ending ever!). Nice mood - it left me wanting more!

rvmook 2012-04-26 11:35

Lovely artstyle and funny ending

chambers 2012-04-26 17:04

I actually laughed out loud in the ending, and for quite a while. Very original art style!

netguy204 2012-04-26 22:09

After laughing my way through killer carrots and other sundry evils... I laughed more. Thank you for the moments of entertainment.

I liked the art style. It was interesting to read your post-mortem on how you accomplished it.

The music was nice. The sounds were nice.

The dialog was very amusing and brief enough to be read even in the attention span of an LD game ranker!

Good work! I enjoyed your humor.

mes 2012-04-28 12:41

lol. very good for how short it is- the shortness actually adds to the humor i think! thumbs up on the art, music, fighting mechanic, and dialog.

pinkmonkeyhead 2012-04-28 17:06

Best 2D graphics in this LD!

mooosh 2012-05-01 22:17

loved the art style and colors! you should finish this :0

jacic 2012-05-03 19:31

Very nice! I liked the ending! ;)

pixel_3 2012-05-03 20:37

ending made me laugh my pants to shreds.

vilya 2012-05-04 02:05

Is it possible to lose this game? After fighting a few monsters the health bar looked like it had gone negative. Also the island shrank down to less than the size of pixel - i.e. it was completely invisible - some time before the game ended.

ad-edge 2012-05-04 05:12

Lol at the abrupt ending XD
This game has potential though, I like the graphics style and sfx, sets a nice mood.

dr_soda 2012-05-04 05:57

Not much to add beyond what's already been said. I appreciated the humor and the ending. :)

namuol 2012-05-04 06:53

Maybe the best (intentional) laugh I've had from all the entries so far. xD

But I love the art style you have going here -- you should finish this!

pierrec 2012-05-04 12:22

It lags A LOT on my computer, I don't know why. I love the graphics, and I really would like to play the finished game

catman 2012-05-04 12:54

Awesome graphics, I like how it is so simple yet you did not resort to pixel graphics!


About the King... that really surprised me!!

marudziik 2012-05-06 13:23

Great, funny, unexpected ending. I tried to lose, and the island got smaller and smaller, but I guess the pirate was bluffing with the whole bottle thing.

gregdevice 2012-05-09 03:32

Good start! Like the humor and theme

nate427 2012-05-09 10:48

Really random and very short, but fun nonetheless!
