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.

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;)

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 :(

metanokid 2014-04-30 10:04

Great gameplay and great humor! Awesome graphics, screen shock feedback really helps getting into the game! Music helped, of course :D
Good job!

stepperz 2014-04-30 10:06

More fun than i had expected it to be!! :) Great stuff!

archaeometrician 2014-04-30 12:29

Wow the graphics are awesome ! I love the style ! Great work :D

raulincze 2014-04-30 12:52

Of course everything explodes! That was really fun :D

nichii 2014-04-30 14:12

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.

jaypc 2014-04-30 20:29

The game was really well done, I just wish the enemies wouldn't spawn directly underneath me where I have no time to respond.

griz 2014-04-30 21:20

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.

secret_tunnel 2014-04-30 21:25

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.

mimic 2014-04-30 23:09

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.

drprettypatty 2014-05-02 14:38
