8-Bit Pirates theme pulled at my heart strings.
Took me a while to figure out how to use the harpoons properly and then I realised machine gunning seagulls is the new meta.
4/5.
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD29 → Moby-riDickulous

awesome game! great work!
it was realy fun playing it (- : the atom harpoon was a blast : D
keep on going! hope to see another great game from you at the next LD
The controls are pretty hard to use thats a pitty because this game has a lot potential.
I could just watch that nuclear harpoon effect shaking the screen with the 8 bit Pirates of the Carribean music playing in the background forever!
Epic work for your first jam!
Nice little game, but the graphics and audio are lacking unfortunately;)
+1 for 8bit pirates chiptune
Hi, this is Vector from the Victory Garden team! (posting under Solifuge's account)
I had a lot of fun, though I actually wasn't able to hear anything. The reloading harpoons mechanic is really nice! One thing you might work on is putting the game in a window rather than fullscreen (it'll help the low-res graphics look better) and adapting the level design a bit to give the players more time to learn the game before throwing quite so many sea creatures at you.
Otherwise, it was a tense, fun experience for me. Thanks!
If this game would be polished a little bit it could be very good. But it makes also a lot of fun as it is. Thank you for your game.
Very fun game, could use a few tweaks to make it great though
Reload mechanic it's a good design feature, overall great game!
Haha good fun, loved the reloading mechanic, and great graphics!
I had fun playing the sound effects and music are really good. However I got dizzy with the screen shake :(
Great gameplay and great humor! Awesome graphics, screen shock feedback really helps getting into the game! Music helped, of course :D
Good job!
More fun than i had expected it to be!! :) Great stuff!
Wow the graphics are awesome ! I love the style ! Great work :D
Of course everything explodes! That was really fun :D
At first, I spammed all the buttons on the keyboard, only to realize that you have to click on the harpoon. I don't like reading instructions, a tutorial would be much appreciated. Overall, good game :)
Really fun entry, but I couldn't beat the boss. Feels like it has way too much health and I didn't want to grind for nuke harpoons. Still, I like! I like the reloading system too.
The game was really well done, I just wish the enemies wouldn't spawn directly underneath me where I have no time to respond.
I find the reload mechanic pretty sweet. For me it's the main hook-element in the game that makes the simple aim and shoot gameplay more rewarding. It involves developing an actual skill that improves durning the game. That's very nice.
Bahaha, this game is a bit rough around the edges, but I love it for it. 8-bit Pirates of the Caribbean, the retro graphics... they fit together perfectly. You've also got an awesome mechanic with the reloading, and I love that the game has one goal: kill Moby riDickulous.
Unfortunately, losing money when you get hit makes it a bit impossible to afford the nuclear harpoon. Fix that and you've got an awesome, salty game on your hands.
Pretty fun game. Not sure I was doing it right, but having to click the harpoon to get another one was a little bit annoying.
GREAT GAME EXPLOSIVE FRIENDS. VERY IMPRESSIVE FOR A FIRST JAM. You won me over with Malaysian Airways Easter Egg.
That was hilarious! :)
Great mecanic ! and the graphic are good too ! you should continue it !
A fun game. Who doesn't like exploding fish haha
