every treasure i got to said too heavy :/ maybe make lighter ones near the start. Then my ship blew up ?! haha

I really wanted to cruise about and find treasure, should just have no death that woulda been cool.

Loved the music

well done, I still rated quite well for what I got lol

There's probably too much randomness for the treasures weight yeah, and the fact that the ship blew up when there's no more fuel probably made sens at some point, can't remember ^^
Thanks.

Great job! Maybe some indicator in radar about the weights would be helpful. Nice music too!

Good game, like others said, there might be too much heavy treasures near the shore. But it's still playable and actually quite fun. I would've loved to see the boat drifting a little further instead of stopping abruptly. The music fits the game well.

Great game!

Really interesting mechanics. Took me a few tries to figure out what was going on but I managed to get there in the end! Good job.

Pretty cool stuff.
Actually got the big ship in the end.

good job...maybe you could spend fuel on ship rotation too.

Couldn't get a single treasure either :-( besides that it looks like a solid game.

I added online a post-jam version which fix some ui issues and put lighter treasures near the harbor so the player doesn't get stuck.

Thanks everyone for the comments :)

This is actually rather addictive, good job!

This is a nice submission. Great premise, I kept dying unexpectedly though. Would love to see a full version of this game!

I think this is a fun and well-planned game. The upgrades made me want to play further. I like the music and the sound effects suits the gameplay. Another thing that is good is that you have both the radar and the distance to look at, makes it stressful and challenging. :)

The theme requirement is obviously met. Adding a few points for humor as well (the boat blowing up when running out of gasoline, funny. :D )

Pretty cool, I didn't really have an issue with the difficulty, it just took some careful resource management in the beginning. Maybe make the dots for heavier treasure bigger on the radar.

Such heave treasure, do you even lift boat

mintarcade 2014-05-02 10:12

This is very entertaining. Good work.

Nice game. It was interesting to play. Also I somehow felt a little Terranigma in it...you know the porttown?...no?...just me?...oh well...still a nice game :)

jomomomo 2014-05-02 13:46

Wow, that was fun. I have to head off to a meeting or I would keep working on getting that big ship. Loved the ship graphics.

fgm 2014-05-02 13:52

Pretty cool. When you get the big boat, it's like pac-man.

This is not really a challenge, but it is very nice
I would have to buy another sonar if the seller had offered me. http://past.is/Phbd
