Fun little game. Got a highscore of 269. Also, nice music.

It took a while to realize that i had to hit the brown ships. The controls are snappy ,even though i expected mouse pointer to steer firstly.

Otherwise solid game.

The music is neat and the game is FUN. Very well done. For me the difficulty is just a little bit too high, which makes my sessions a bit too short, but that's always very personal. Maybe a way to avoid that would have been to start quite slow and raise the speed over time? But again, very fun and simple in the best kind of way.

Really good game! Nice graphics, but maybe a bit too short ^^ I only survived 19 sec. Good Game ^^

Like the art style and the fact that it didn't require mouse interaction made playing it on a laptop very enjoyable! Maybe add the ability to see your points in game and compare the score at the end to a highscore for a competitive aspect. Great little game, nice one.

I think what could help the game would be to add torque and inertia to the boat.

Nice and simple game! I had fun playing it, but I have a few suggestions. There should probably be an easier way to retry after dying, since you can die relatively quickly, and going back to the menu is a pain. I also think maybe the music should keep playing when you restart, but this may just be because I die very fast. Along that line, the difficulty seems a *little* high, although not too bad. I was also not sure what the incentive is to hit the pirates. It probably increases the score, but that mechanic is not very transparent.

Nice idea! cool game! :thumbsup:

very simple game. I like the way the ships change into pirates instead of spawning in. I think maybe the pirate boats could damage the other boats as well. Maybe the world shrinks a bit more if the sail boats get sunk which would incentivise you to hunt them down quickly.

Great game! Very cool and interesting! :D

The game is pretty fun, but I have two big complaints:

1. The sailboats will just randomly change into pirate ships and back, there's no way to tell when it's going to happen. Incredibly frustrating to be JUST about to get a pirate ship and then have it change back into a sailboat.

2. Restarting the game is annoying as hell: I HAVE to use the mouse, I have to press TWO buttons, and the buttons are not in the same place. Ideally in a game like this you can just press spacebar to restart.

Nice! The controls feels good, the gameplay is simple but works and the graphics are good enough. I especially loved the music,

On the negative side, the difficulty is way too high and I never lasted more than ~30s. It was not very clear what were pirate ships in the beginning too. The first time I hit one, I died.

Really cool little entry. I'd like to see some juice added to this game and you could keep going for hours. Great entry :smile:
