Good looking graphics, nice use of theme, one of the major problems I had was that it was very difficult to aim the cannon. I died very quickly against enemies, making the game seem near impossible. Otherwise, nice job!

interesting concept but it's a little annoying to have to click all the time, cant the ship just follow the courser?
The game crashed several times for me with something along the lines of: "Failed to call 'setPosition' on 'PannerNode'. The provided float value is not finite." (Maybe dividing by 0?)
When it didn't crash it was actually a really cool experience. The graphics are super cool and I liked the tactical element of the tower and navigating around islands to avoid pirates. It is a really hard game since the pirates do lot of damage and there doesn't seem to be a way to regain health. Would be nice if your weapon was a bit more powerful. Also a nice background music track would go a long way.
My game also crashed at one point. I really liked the graphics and art style though. I do have a soft spot for sea faring games. :) Overall the combat is really difficult and at a certain point of money, I was swarmed by impossible amounts of enemies for my minimal cannon firing ability. The controls were also a tad bit cumbersome. But I really liked the theme, and the concept is cool!
I liked the game, I just found it really hard, I only get 7000 gold.
Really nice graphics and good concept, I think it was a bit to hard to click where you want to go and fire at the same time so maybe arrow keys move and mouse to fire? A bit of music and sounds would be nice but I know its not always possible in the limited time. Really fun though.
Nice concept and nice graphics, the cannon was realy hard to hit the enemies with tho, I would also like a way to move using the minimap or the availability to see my boat on the minimap but realy nice game overall
I really loved the art style, it’s really cool. I found shooting the pirates(?) bit too hard, I don’t think I actually ever hit them just run away from them;) Also sometimes clicking destination didn’t do anything. Otherwise solid gameplay. Sadly I had couple of crashes too. Some nitpicking: you had the nice script font you could have used instead of unity default font (arial) in port/island names (and other places), it would have made game even more consistent. On map names where in such small size I found it kinda hard to read. Maybe ambient sounds of something like that could have given the game bit more atmosphere?
The game looked great, and the map+cities was really cool. The only thing keeping me from really enjoying the experience was the combat --I just found it really hard to aim, so I usually died after one or two enemy encounters. Good job overall!
Those low poly models are so pretty! Shooting is quite hard though, and the bullets seem to go through enemies without any feedback (except sometimes they die)
Graphics are very nice! Everything else doesn't feel right for some reason though. You don't really feel anything when you shoot, get shot, get money, hit someone. And sound effect when you shoot the other boat is sooo unpleasant. Good job though! I bet those low poly graphics took all your time :)
Absolutely loved the graphics and setting! I enjoyed just sailing around in the ocean for a bit. Combat was kind of frustrating, although I guess in real life aiming a cannon wouldn't be easy! Good job!
Love the graphics and the idea, but I wasn't able to get far, aiming the cannon is way to hard compare to how easy it is for the enemy. Also the overall tasks and such were quite simple, maybe adding some extra stuff like purchasing things or such would make it better. But other than that I liked it.
* Amazing graphics * Solid use of theme
* Aiming mechanics are really poor * Sound effects are a bit too loud
Unfortunately, I couldn't keep playing because of this issue:

It happened when the tower, which is located in the middle of the map, started to attack enemies.
I'm using Windows 10 & latest version of Google Chrome :wink:
The graphics are stunning, I had no problem with the windows version. The shooting could be a little better, but I think the main problem is that the game escalate way too quickly. There's something about the boats just running of when you get to a port that felt strange too. Really good entry overall though, keep up the good work! :3
This is beautiful and left me wanting it to be more in so many ways. I hope to see this when it is fully developed.
