Sort of missed the theme, but i had to rush this in some 6 hours or so

Interesting game, good work for 6 hours! The game has a number of flaws though, which can be ironed out easily enough with more time, but which mar the gameplay. The controls seem unintuitive. I expect left click to select and deselect, right click to move. Also, it happens often that I accidentally select multiple ships at once, and I haven't figured out how to select a second ship without moving the first one as well. The enemies can appear right on top of you when you're near the haven. Sometimes the ships won't unload when they are on top of the haven. I didn't hear any sound.

Missed the theme?! The where do you think the fish live, hey? I really enjoyed this after I figured out the controls (I expected the ships to be auto deselected after I assigned them something). Serious about 6 hours? I can barely get something on the screen after that time ;)

Nice game for such a small amount of time! The controls need a bit of work.

I like the unique genre choice, but the controls make for a click-heavy, tiring experience, especially when so much of the game relies on sudden dodging of incoming threats.

Man those pirates are annoying, I really like this idea, I would have loved to see where you would have gone with it if you had more time. I often selected multiple ships at once which made it tricky to send them to finish. Very brutal game!

Hard, but interesting gameplay. It felt a bit strange, that left clicks do not deselect previously selected ships. But besides that, the game is really fun!
