I wanted to find another shop, but I couldn't find one :(. Nice little game in theory, I think it needs a little gamification, and maybe a map.

Yeah, I'll have to rework the game quite a bit before it becomes worthwhile, right now, there are several things that need to be fixed before it is truly enjoyable :/ (*cough* pirates glitched and won't spawn, other fishing ships just hug you to death *cough*)
Maybe I'm just thick, but it took me a good minute or two of pressing keys before I realised that I needed to buy a sail and net and so on if I wanted to actually do anything. Giving the player these basic by default would have made more sense, but maybe you wanted the player to scroll through your different ship parts to see the variety.
That was the intent, but I didn't have the time to properly make a half-decent title screen to explain to the player the need for a sail or oars to move :/
I have to say I can see a great game here if more time was used to develop it :) I like these sort of things with multiple aspects to them.
Graphics are also very nice and fit well together.
Definite wow-moment was when the wind suddenly ceased and I couldn't move :D
I really enjoyed this game. There was a bug that when I upgraded my hull, I ended up with 689.33333333333333337$ This game had a lot of depth. (The puns get worse the later it gets.) I would love to see this game fully finished!
