i wish you'd called this naumachia. still, fun game. best i've played so far

zoomyzoom 2012-04-24 22:59

It isnt loading for me! I get a white screen.

I love the graphics work here! The game is really fun to play too - although I think it could have benefited greatly from the addition of sounds. :)

Awesome graphics, and nice water physics!

zkenshin 2012-04-25 18:33

Had fun with it :)

Nice looking game!

I really like this - it was fun - and great way to deal with the theme.
Music and sound would have been a great addition!

the graphics are really cool but the game was a lil slow. collision detection was also quite wierd at some points.

Fun !

Awesome graphics! Gameplay needs tweaking though.

fireblend 2012-04-26 02:30

Really cool! My only complaint other than the obvious lack of sound and music is that the ships move way too slowly (it even took me a little while to figure out which was my sheep on the first round), and there's little confirmation when shooting of whether the cannon balls did any damage or not, but I can see how an "accelerated" version of this could be lots of fun, and the graphics and whole visual style is really appealing. Great job!

Absolutely charming concept. Lovely art/feel. Sinking mechanic felt a bit opaque. Sound should be on by default! (and ideally a bit punchier)

Wow amazing! The gameplay is fun, the graphics are great and the idea itself fits the theme perfectly and is quite original and poetic in some way. Only lacks a bit of music and maybe better controls. Definitely one of my favorites for this LD!

Fun and good looking game! It's a shame that it doesn't have any music, a hectic, piratey soundtrack (the intro of Gangplank Galleon from Donkey Kong Country comes to mind) would have suited it perfectly.

Very cool! I like the 3D. Couldn't run the web or Windows versions (both crashed) on Windows 7 in Chrome, but WebGL version worked. Controls were responsive and mostly intuitive, and the rocking boats and water effects were very cool. Gameplay wasn't too deep (get it? get it?), but the rest of it was very impressive. Nice work.

dray 2012-04-30 15:24

boat, cannons, i like that

robbiehunt 2012-05-01 01:17

Man... I loved this! Would love more! The game play that's here is wonderful! A little more gameplay variety, and some sound... I'd play this for a while!

Perhaps multiplayer?? Yeah, that would be a dream game.

tourgen 2012-05-01 02:18

Fairly polished and everything worked fine. Moving around and sinking ships was pretty fun. a sea monster or a different ship model would have been cool.

royvanrijn 2012-05-01 13:19

Very nice game, I love the graphics and the idea. The gameplay is a bit simple still, but it sure has potential!

samwoakley 2012-05-01 16:58

really really cool! I love the models and the idea behind it!

kevinworkman 2012-05-02 00:33

Great start to a game, and it could be even better with different kinds of ships, weapons, powerups, more variety in general. Good work.

orni 2012-05-03 08:06

I've loved this ship/canon combats since monkey island 3 - your game is no exception.

the idea of playing inside a pool is funny and the graphics are simply stunning for a compo entry.

very well done!

marudziik 2012-05-07 09:38

Looks cool, but is too easy, has no sound, and there's little variety in gameplay. I can see something much bigger out of this, like some other people suggested here (different weapons, upgrades, etc.), but it's a very, very good start.

davidwparker 2012-05-08 13:47

Controls are pretty bad on WebGL on a Chrome on Mac. (slow to respond).
Other than that, I really like the game... cool idea, looks really nice.
I could see this being expanded to include expansions+upgrades as well as multiplayer. Well done.

azurenimbus 2012-05-09 23:50

Really fun! This is begging for multiplayer.
