This was extremely enjoyable to play! I really liked the added pressure element of "Tea Time", especially as I was racing to the Tea table while my ship was falling apart. Priorities, right? Haha! Having it be co-op also added a bit of challenge, which I also enjoyed. Great job! :)

thejohnyfeed 2021-04-27 07:59

Well, I had fun playing this alone :"D The art is super nice also!

niewiar 2021-04-27 09:01

Yo ho ho and a bottle of... tea :P Good job guys!

bogurodzica 2021-04-27 11:25

@neeki @thejohnyfeed @niewiar Thanks for the feedback! (:

A really fun little game ! Good job on the art side, and the tea time actually add a lot of humor that is more than welcome !

Nicely done !

wahyu-candra 2021-04-27 13:10

Cute visuals, very enjoyable. Visual feedback could be better though. Overall great entry.

bogurodzica 2021-04-27 13:12

@bruyere-alice @wahyu-candra Thanks for the feedback! (: Yea, we want to replace whole instruction page with in-game indicators and make game more intuitive.

mrbrainfed 2021-04-27 13:55

Wow! I had a blast playing this one! I couldn't get anyone to join me on co-op so I played both characters at once, and it was still a nice level of challenging. Great game! I'm excited to see where you guys will go!

ricna 2021-04-27 14:13

Well done guys! I just had problem to understand at the very beginning why I was not able to do some puzzle, then I noticed the light indicating that, and also I think would be better to use 'E' or 'F' to interact, instead the 'Y' ;).

The game is cute and very good to play with 2 people! The first co-op I saw in the jam! Great game :)

ilyas-aqil 2021-04-27 15:29

Very nice co-op game! The gameplay is definitely much improved with a friend coming along! Me and a roommate enjoyed it very much, and the art is super cute and well polished

hey @mrbrainfed @ricna @ilyas-aqil Thanks very much for feedback, guys :) much appreciated

someone 2021-04-27 16:16

Love the artwork. The tea drinking was a great touch. I played both characters myself which was manageable. Y was not the best key choice though. It felt like it could have done with a one or two more tasks to keep it interesting though.

joedev 2021-04-27 17:36

Fun cooperative game (that I had to play alone, but still do-able and fun!). The art is smashing, the music and sounds are top, and the tea is hot. A lot of nice character in this game :) Good job!

plaskijakdeska 2021-04-27 17:43

@someone @joedev Super glad that you liked it, guys. Thanks for the feedback! :)

Nice to have a coop game around great job on this one everything feels well integrqted

aniur 2021-04-27 21:02

Love your game! And that hair. That damned hair. Great job guys! <3

itsboats 2021-04-28 02:35

Fun game, cool steampunk vibes and refreshing to see a co-op game! I loved the Tea Time idea too!

In addition to the Y key being a little awkward, the only other problem I had was on the main menu, the buttons were basically off the screen (probably because I have a wide monitor 21:9). The text wasn't visible, but I could still click the top of the buttons and play!

tengusheath 2021-04-28 02:46

Art and music were great.

no-grapes-games 2021-04-28 09:37

For what it was it was an excellent experience. It's easy on the eyes with fantastic art and the micro games within kept me on my toes! I like it. Very creative and beautiful game. Great work! High marks!

congusbongus 2021-04-28 10:28

Great polish! I wish there were more minigames, and more of the warioware vibe. The britishness was very funny and spot on. Long live the Queen!

m11 2021-04-28 14:18

Super impressive - the art and music were brilliant!

gamesbysaul 2021-04-28 20:39

Really cool idea for a game! Co-op for a game jam is a really nice idea, and it's good that the controls are simple enough that it can be done solo! Really nice work! - All I add is maybe a way to open the controls whilst playing!

nvrskipgameday 2021-04-28 23:32

What a neat idea!! I was controlling both players but it still worked really well. Actually I kinda dug it like that haha. Fun sense of humor here, cool submission :)

marshal 2021-04-29 00:24

Really Nice coop game, I tryied playing with both characters and it was really fun!!! And I also head some tea while things started to fall a part :D

fxydev 2021-04-29 05:57

Cool idea, emergencies happen a little slow though so I didn't have much urgency.

ka1zyz 2021-04-29 08:19

Very interesting style! I really enjoy the journey!

snesgaard 2021-04-29 08:21

Great game, playing both characters is actually surprisingly fun!

Think moving through the doors would be more intuitive if it used the interact button, rather than up/down keys.

mira 2021-04-29 08:28

The ability to turn off the game would be nice, but this is what every second game has here. In addition, I have nothing to complain about the game, the graphics are very well done, the gameplay is original and the difficulty is good even for less experienced players like me. Unfortunately I didn't get to the end, is there anything interesting? :slight_smile:

miej 2021-04-29 08:35

nice game concept! took a little getting used to, but wasnt too bad to control both characters solo. i wonder if it would have been even harder with multiple people due to coordination. nice implementation, and great style - could definitely see this idea expanded further upon

james-kusardi 2021-04-29 17:40

i really liked the art and music, but couldn't seem to get the game to work?...i'll have to give it another shot later, not sure what the issue was :/

plaskijakdeska 2021-04-29 21:18

@james-kusardi What did not work exactly?

james-kusardi 2021-04-30 04:01

@plaskijakdeska i was only able to interact with the modules with one of the players (whichever one starts on the top floor), although doors worked fine - i wonder if i'm missing something aha

marcmagus 2021-04-30 17:13

Thanks for bringing your game by my stream for playtesting! If you’d like to revisit the play and commentary you can view the highlight at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1006134086

tricky-fat-cat 2021-04-30 19:39

Visuals are superb as well as sound. Speaking of gameplay, it's fun and easy to learn. Well done.

goodgamesjames 2021-05-01 07:24

Cool game loop. Had fun at first, but wish it had ramped up in difficulty over time. I ended up just play one character on the left and one on the right, so it would have been neat if there were good reason for a player to have to cross onto another half of the ship, like hatches that were stuck for a time.

Nice art. Music was nice, but very repetitive... after 1000 ft I was begging for tea time just to hear the other tune. Funny to see the queen had a different life-bar, and cool that it some tasks had higher priority.

andidebob 2021-05-03 15:58

What a fun coop game! There is just so much love here, the game looks astonishing and I love the character design. The fact that there are 3 different minigames is so cool and I love that you have to interact for at least two of them. The only thing that I would complain about is pacing. The game feels a bit slow at times, like I have the feeling a game like this should be hectic and you should be yelling at your co-op partner to do something, while for now the game is more like "okay we have done that now let's chat for a good minute".

I think that if you add a few more challenges and turn up the panic this could be a super solid game! But even now it is super impressive for a jam game!

chris-hay 2021-05-07 02:29

This is really cute and fun, and well executed. The art and running animations are great. I'm glad the mini games are simple, since part of the challenge is getting there one time and remembering how it works! Is the music just an arrangement of Rule Brittania (public domain)? Very fitting.
