Nice art style and good controls. Overall a solid game, however I can't help but feel it's a little hard, it took me ages to kill three ships consecutively( guess ill never be a pirate!)

Thanks for playing! Yes, the enemies are quite hard, but I felt that since they are the only challenge in the game, they should atleast be a difficult one. :smile:

Nicely done

Fun, but a bit too hard.

Also: if you want more people to play, you should probably pack your game into an .exe so people who don't have Löve can play it!

Good job!

Thanks all! @sintel thanks, I packed it into an .exe

I can't run the game somehow. "The code execution cannot proceed because lua51.dll was not found."

nysten 2017-12-04 19:01

@darkgrisen I forgot to add LÖVE dll's to the exe! Fixed now, I hope I didn't lose you yet! :smile:

Lots of fun! Good job, combat was hard but fair.

Great job! Im very impressed with the AI given the time constraints.

darkgrisen 2017-12-04 19:43

Now it works!

The game is really funny. Probably one of the best games i've played so far!

Overall: 4/5!

The game takes a bit to learn, but the AI is just predictable enough that you can dodge most but not all of their attacks if you know what you're doing. I applaud you for the balance. One thing to note is that the hitboxes on the island are a bit hard to read.

The ship combat alone is pretty fun, and while the graphics are simple the color palette is very smooth and satisfying. I don't know that the mechanic of your ship being weighed down adds much to the game.

If this weren't a Ludum Dare entry I'd recommend setting up networking for this, though. Higher-scoring players having weaker ships because of the weight of their treasure sounds like a neat balancing feature.

@amras0000 I agree, the weight component wasn't really any good for the gameplay. The ship battles are quite fun, so networking does sound good!

Nicely done compo entry. The CPUs have some bugs that make them sometimes crash with the island and sink but other than that the game handles well the controls and the concept is clear. The sound FX and graphics were really ok too. Good job!
