Oh really sorry about that, just added controls there to the entry page. Its W,A,S,D or arrow keys to move your boat.
This was a really cool game! I really liked the variations in the audio clips and the art was really nice. Overall it was really good!
This was fun, and the voice acting made me really laugh. If there was one thing I would change it would be the jump, it seems very floaty as it takes longer to fall than it does to rise up (normally you want this to be the other way around for smooth and snappy jumps). Nice take on the theme, and some great artwork in there too.
Dark humor :D
Audio sounds were very funny, good work!
Did not know exactly what to do, too many characters to remember on start so I tried by myself and I laughed at the voice acting xD great job on that! The game is funny, the art is cool, colors are nice, characters are funny, the music is very good too! Maybe more feedbacks, also a bit more work on the jump and it would be perfect haha
Good entry!
I had fun with this! A little morbid theme wise but you managed to put a humorous spin on it. Also, the counting sound at the last screen hurt my ears. Other than that really good job!
Really enjoyable game, simple in mechanics but with a little puzzle twist in what you need to capture. Only issue is it doesn't fit the theme.
I like the idea and the art. I think the top is really cluttered though.. I feel confused looking at the numbers and understanding immediatly what I actually need to do.
Fun little game! It felt like the conversion charts were a bit too much to juggle especially at the beginning to wrap your head around. At some point I just stuck to collecting children, men, women and sheep since those were the easiest to grasp. The overworld could've had a tutorial because it didn't make too much sense at first but I eventually got the hang of it. However, the art looks great and the sound effects were probably my favorite part. Keep it up!
its fun and well made, although with this kinda morbid theme
I love the progression, but I'm not sure I understood the combos correctly. Global map gives a great relief between action parts, but I loose all kind of collected characters no matter which trader I choose instead of trading only that is preferred by the trader. Any tips here? :smile:
Here is my playthrough:

Really great game. The graphics reallly got me. The diffcult level was great, easy to understand. Really nice work thx for sharing.
Funny fast paced game. I sometimes had trubbles to avoid the police, but it makes fun.
At the beginning I had a bit problems to understand the instructions, but after playing and watching the score, they are clear.
I really like this game.
I really like the concept and it fits in with the theme really well! I also really like the sound effects when you collect different people! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
That's.... really a piece of.... really nice game!
Nice voice acting ;)
I really enjoyed this one, it's simple, but there are some little things that make this game much better. The fact that the sound when picking up people doesn't stack and you don't have a cacophony of sound, and the dabbing... the man behind the princesses is a genius. Only flaw was that beeping noise when picking up policemen, I felt that that sound was a liitle bit too loud and sharp. Good job, may the trafficking never end :)
Very solid game! I really like the sounds, the art, sailing that world map is awesome. Looks really polished. The music is great! One thing: The winning screen was buggy, as the buttons were covering text about bags I collected. Still, great game :)
The addition of collection combos in this game made it a lot more fun than it otherwise would have been. Good innovation there.
The game looks good. Though if there was time for it an infinite background would have been a nice addition. I found myself creeping closer to the left when the police started to ramp up, which got me to a point where I'd see the characters running into the no-background abyss.
The audio is solid. The developer voice-over helped sell the mood and added some humor to the game's otherwise rather dark theme. The music is upbeat to match the game play as well.
The theme is well represented. The game is fun. What more is there to say?
Good job on this one!
Nice and intereseting game. The spin on the theme was a good call. Day 5 totally wrecked me and did cost me alomst all of my money. The map was filled, with princesses, dragons and police men x_x The game itself is a little rough around the edges but more than playable. Music and art was adequate. The point system was a bit convoluted, but I just let the game calculate everything for me and I just looked at the resulting money amount. Nice entry!
very fun! Just a little confusing at first, could do with a tutorial of sorts.
Fun game.
Keeping track of what I was collecting was kinda difficult since I also had to keep track of the combos, took me a while to get the hang of it. Also, it was sometimes difficult to avoid policemen. An option to skip the final counting would've been nicer.
Overall, well done!
The graphics and audio were great and the gameplay was solid. The only problem I had with this game is that the combos are hard to understand (the images showing different types of people look too same).
Hey everyone. Thanks for the nice comments! I was the developer on this game and here is the breakdown of the scoring system: - If you sell a man/woman/child/sheep/dragon/Daenerys to any trader you get 1 gold. - If he prefers that character, he pays 3 gold each (and buys all the others for 1 gold each) - If you collect a dragon, it eats 5 of your sheep. - If you collect a Daenerys, she frees 5 of your slaves. - However, if you collect a Mother of dragons (Dany) with 3 dragons, you get 12 gold (and they don't eat any of your sheep and don't free any of your slaves) - You can make as many combos as you can, but any loose dragons/danys not involved in a combo will cost you sheep/slaves. - Cops need bribes, so they cost you 5 gold each.
Oh, and only the dragons/Danys that are in full combos would count as collected (and you can sell them later)
This is really cool game! I must say at first i was sceptical but after some time i really enjoyed the simple gameplay, that requires a little bit of thinking. Good job!
