I swang my sword and it hit! HELL YEAH IT DID!; enjoyable thanks for creating!

no matter how many times I press space I don't seem to be able to land on an island, am I missing something?

vuvuzuellainc 2019-04-29 22:08

Nice creation ! Loved to play this one ! Audio is very nice :heart_eyes: Keep the good work

I think this submission is missing the source code? I had a fight and then a sail, but I couldn't land on an island.

retti01 2019-04-29 22:15

ll put this in here to. You need to crash in to the islands to be able to go to them. :v:

Enjoyable game. Reminds me of pirates gold :P

I liked the humor in the writing (very Monkey Island), but once I hit the open sea it didn't seem like I could do much. Interesting idea though!

whycardboard 2019-04-29 23:44

it's a good idea, i just had some problems with the islands. other than that, good game.

I loved the noises the pirates made during battles, very funny! In my opinion, the battle system wasn't intuitive at the beginning, and once I figured it out, I didn't find it very fun and it felt repetitive. Also, once I was walking on the island, I couldn't find a way off. Very good game any way :)

Interesting graphics until the memories of Sid Meier's Pirates come back!

YaRrr ! Good game overall, with music stuck in my head :p. A bit sad that the duels are mostly there to make you lose time (a bit grindy when you have limited time and few healing) as fleeing then diggin' up tomb is far more profitable. Got the 50 lives after my 4th try :p. I got stuck for 5 minutes trying to understand how to land : You need to crash on the island (collide with the ship) then speed down (the 3 sails must be down), then you can press space to land. And q to go back on the ship. (got some time where I had -6 h and was still alive tho)

Really enjoyable turn based combat

slimabob 2019-04-30 01:42

Fun idea, great job!

zax 2019-04-30 08:36

well made !

Nice little game. Sailing around was fun, even though it took me a while to figure out you had to come to a stop in order to land on an island. I died at the first enemy who was multiple times stronger than me, which wasn't very nice, but overall good job

Hi! I see this game as early prototype of Pirate Simulator. Looks fun, but entering islands don't work :c

joe-the-really-old 2019-04-30 10:24

Good job on getting so much done in such little time! Makes me think of a JRPG version of Mount & Blade :~)

ogelgames 2019-04-30 10:42

Gameplay was a little confusing a first, but it was quite fun once I got use to it, until I got stuck on an island with nothing to do and no idea how to get off...

retti01 2019-04-30 11:53

How to solve problems with the island!

I have had comment about not being able to land on the islands and getting off of them. You need to "crash" in to the islands take your sail down and then press SPACE. To get of from islands you just need to press Q.

darkshinobi100 2019-04-30 14:24

really fun game, sailing around was great as was the dialogue, great job. I had trouble getting onto islands as well, maybe add a pop-up that says if you can enter the island when slowed or something. Great job so far!

retti01 2019-04-30 17:01

@darkshinobi100 Yeah you are right. It is a bit confusing when you can get to the island. Pop-up was a great idea.

davidus 2019-04-30 17:34

It’s much fun to play. But it would be so much easier to play and I think it would get a better rating and more people would play it if you could play the game directly in the browser.

2019-04-30 18:02

Didnt knew how to play this one

gettingrekt 2019-04-30 18:19

That was some pretty difficult fights right off the bat. I have no idea how to win against a similar strong AI, maybe they had a pattern I was missing. But a very solid game with multiple different game play loops. Good job!

antztakeover 2019-04-30 19:16

Really cool game! The attential to detail with the sails going up and you having to 'brake' before going onto an island was really cool! The fighting system was a bit repetitive because there wasn't much variation between the fights. Other than that I had a fun time!

jayometric 2019-05-01 04:44

Swing to victory! Which in my case was the Devil's sweet HELLO! First time I played I sailed around because I forgot what button going to shore was. 10/10 would swing sword at people and go to hell anyway. Great concept and game!

vertuga32 2019-05-01 08:50

Overall a nice idea. Travel, pirates, sea.

The idea of the competition was not disclosed or I did not understand anything)

shadow30 2019-05-01 09:16

Very interesting game, I liked the choose powerups sequence with the narration. Good job!

olavdeng2 2019-05-01 18:46

Its a fun little concept, Did encounter that it was hard to get to the islands though, something that should definetely be fixed for if you do anything more with this :P

gunnbju 2019-05-01 20:26

Really enjoyed the sailing the seas music :)

pixscope 2019-05-01 21:01

I love it !

toasterbath 2019-05-02 23:41

Super cute pixel art and music!

I did have trouble being able to land on the islands, as the controls weren't very clear, but the concept of this is super interesting :D

fjolla-dedaj 2019-05-03 08:57

Such a fun game!

massealex 2019-05-03 23:11

Nice game! I like the dialogs and ship controls! I forgot about the controls / key binding once I was in game though. So having an on screen reminder would be nice. Other than that, great job!

memedev0 2019-05-10 16:41

Very nice, i loved the art and themeing.

tamail 2019-05-13 09:38

Great game, I just had problems landing on the island! But I loved the dialogs, nice writing.

jessmend815 2019-05-17 06:44

It was a nice game overall. I do not see myself beating it however since battles seems to take so long. I had problems getting to the island at first but then figured out that sails had to be taken off to get on it. I like the dialogue and story. I foudn myself defending and healing while the enemy does the same.
