I really loved the style of the game, you definitely spent quite a bit of time on that!

xbcw 2014-04-29 02:52

Had fun playing and it looks great.

tanner101010 2014-04-29 03:18

Absolutely love the monsters and aesthetic! It was a little hard to predict the shark's movements.

tyruspeace 2014-04-29 03:25

It was done with quickly, but man the graphics are well done in this! Some kind of indicator for hitting the enemy would've been helpful, but I got used to things pretty quickly.

The only real technical issue I ran into was that I had to run the game maximized because of how easy it was to have the cursor leave the window while aiming otherwise.

Cool world and style. Nice work.

Beautiful game! Love the details, and the map too!

mclewis 2014-04-29 05:49

Fun game! Beautiful pixel art and great music.

mtinkerhess 2014-04-29 05:54

That music was so epic, really appropriate for the boss battles. Nice art too, I enjoyed the dithering!

It's a little confusing when your bullets aim toward your mouse but you can't see your mouse.

seraphicmedia 2014-04-29 05:55

Super fun game I had to play it twice!

paperblurt 2014-04-29 06:44

This is truly the best shark/monster-in-the-water LD game in this jam/compo so far.

Good graphics and the style overall is magic!

stephan_h 2014-04-29 06:48

I like this game very much.
At first I thought: "Why is the ship all black?" That art style made immediately more sense when the battle started.
I am no fan of the control scheme on the world map. But the fact that you have a world map where one can travel is a big plus.

diptoman 2014-04-29 06:49

That was really awesome! The world map was cool, and the monsters were even cooler. And that battle music and the last scene, so awesome!
The only issue I had was with the aiming, the cursor wasn't shown so the crosshair movement was a bit confusing.

dimir 2014-04-29 07:30

Very nice! Music, grafics +++++ :)))

marcus_siactro 2014-04-30 08:01

Really sweet. It somehow reminded me of Monkey Island. Good work

brogrammers 2014-04-30 08:01

loved the art!

bitserum 2014-04-30 08:07

Controls were a bit hard to manage, but the art style is great. If you add progress and upgrades this could be very fun game.

bebopbraunbaer 2014-04-30 14:34

awesome game! the art, the music, everything well done! i hope you will polish it even more in the future and we get a nice success story (- :

wish you the very best for the future!

seantheartist 2014-04-30 14:41

There is so much I love about this game. The music, the theme, the art. Its all really sweet. My only comment is that I wish I could seen when my ship is being damaged or when I am damaging a monster. I love the cannon burst shot and it would be cool to see that interact with the monster if you had more time. Great game!

lpghatguy 2014-04-30 14:42

A lot of fun, I wish there was more to the game. The only problem I had was when I was trying to aim at the sea monsters my mouse would go out of the screen and I would end up clicking out of the window.

frump 2014-04-30 15:24

Thanks for all the comments guys! Sorry about the bugs and inconveniences. I'm not much of a programmer and making all this in 72 hours was crazy for me. This is my first jam and the first game I've released/"completed".

I've continued to work on it a bit to fix things but I can't upload any newer builds here. Follow me on twitter for updates on it, I guess.

landosystems 2014-04-30 16:27

Nice art style, loved the monsters. The monster music cracked me up!

udvaritibor 2014-04-30 16:43

I loved the visual style and the sounds on this one. Also the pig looking monster lol

pancakecity 2014-04-30 18:08

Great-looking game, that pig monster was awesome. I feel like the controls could be simplified, don't like having to use different key to shoot and make the ship go.

mimic 2014-04-30 22:36

The aesthetics are great! Really well drawn. I wish there was more feedback when attacking though. Felt like I was shooting toothpicks and paper wads.

7hesama 2014-04-30 22:38

Unfortunately, it crashed my browser 3 times when I tried to play it, always after engaging with a monster.
From what I saw though, the graphics looked nice and the rock music was awesome. Not sure about the gameplay but I definitely /want/ it to be fun ;P

teamflare 2014-05-01 10:26

Awesome, great graphics, especially with the monster :)

franklins-ghost 2014-05-01 11:11

Great looking game, liked the different aspects of looking for the monsters and then the side view to fight them.

timtipgames 2014-05-01 13:25

Great visuals! The audio also fits very well. I could see some more advanced boss mechanics improve the game a lot. Overall very well done!

papygaragos 2014-05-01 17:23

That's a lovely art style you got there. I really like the colors and contrasts in the battle screen.

Also the monsters looks really good.

soupwithbits 2014-05-01 17:27

Dagnabbit! Wanted to play more! Looks great and plays well too! and the audio is great... So it's awesome!

wicht 2014-05-01 17:28

Nice monsters, like the pirates like travelling. Nicely done!

iambored2006 2014-05-01 17:57

I like this kind of game, where it's basically a succession of bosses.
Holy SHIT, did you REALLY code collision with land?! I think I'm overreacting. Anyway, that's impressive as well.
The thing I liked the most is the music.

magicrat 2014-05-02 03:51

Great package of a game! The monster art is beautiful, and I like how everything works. Good job!

drprettypatty 2014-05-03 03:03

The graphics and music were amazing! They made it feel like a world that I really wanted to explore. I kept resizing my browser with the mouse controls though, but it looks like you accounted for that with the alternate controls that I didn't use lol. Great job!

whiterabbitgames 2014-05-03 11:15

if's really fun, good work

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-05-04 12:15

Impressive art and animations but I got stuck after the first monster battle. Also, controls are not consistent cause arrows make you move on the map but not during the battles. I think with a bit of polishing you'll have a great game!

pinkmonkeyhead 2014-05-04 18:23

The battle part was AMAZING!!!

petey123567 2014-05-04 22:33

Metal? Check. GREAT ENTRY!

ahmeni 2014-05-05 06:10

Fantastic entry! Killer music and a fun game. Excellent work you guys!

csanyk 2014-05-05 21:06

Good graphics, good concept, good sound. Needs better gameplay when in combat.

conormn 2014-05-06 02:12

One of my favorites. Having the ship shoot lots of different projectiles made it for me. Epic!

seconddimension 2014-05-06 07:15

Really nice game and graphics, loved the style .Controls needed a bit of work and I wasn't sure if I was hitting the monster with the cannon.

terraco 2014-05-06 08:04

That was really entertaining. I don't think I have played something like this before.

matthias_zarzecki 2014-05-06 20:38

Ha, this is lovely! Nice work :)

hyperbox 2014-05-07 00:16

Excellent entry. The overworld part was very reminiscent of old-school rpgs. Then the battles had wonderful graphics and atmosphere. The main thing that could have been a bit better was the feedback on hitting monsters or the ship being damaged. But other than that, high marks all around.

cirrial 2014-05-09 00:32

Incredibly short but stylish as hell. I love it! It's clear a lot of love and effort went into making this game great instead of long, but this is still fantastic!

georgebroussard 2014-05-10 08:48

Short. Sweet. Style. Fun. Great entry. Loved the music and art. The battle music was LOL great. Well done.

jorgemoag 2014-05-10 22:14

The art is very nice, and I like the gameplay... with a better fx-sound would be amazing

gre 2014-05-12 17:25

Very very cool graphics. Nice concept and mecanism.
Missing some feedback for the player to know if he hits the monster.
The web version is hard to play because you locked the mouse. I assume it should be played fullscreen.

udo 2014-05-13 16:39

I liked the concept and the graphics very much.

teameagle 2014-05-18 16:17

looks pretty awesome (especially in combat)

illugion 2014-05-19 00:33

I like the graphics and the battle scheme, it was kinda hard to keep track of where my mouse was on the web version and the combat could be more responsive, I didn't really know when i was hitting them haha but its really well done, good job !
