Known bugs (sorry!): - Doesn't work on screens above 60 fps (you'll fall through the boat probably) - Sometimes the player doesn't move with the boat, you'll need to refresh - Enemies spawn too quickly at around ~50 - Game over doesn't work well yet, you'll need to refresh to play again - Audio doesn't work in Safari

I like that we have two canons to hit the two sides and that even if we got hit, we do not shrink immediately. I liked the mood of a battle ship. Well done

Hi! Really cool game, aiming is nicely done, feels great. Loved how my boat fell apart, bots aim perfectly, had no chance. Thanks

Movement is a bit strange, but once you man the cannons it's pretty smooth.

My favorite part was the jazzy chords when you shoot and sink boats.

Well done!

I keep falling through the boat when I spawn; but the sound effects are nice!

Yeah, falling through the boat, sorry. :/

Ah yes! the old can't be in two places at once - works great for the theme. I had lots of empathy for those poor little red squares with stick legs

Seem to make it to 44 before I inevitably become overcome by the swarm of enemies.

It seems that even with just a tiny corner of my boat I can still man the guns. Even running at 75 FPS I don't fall through the boat :P

nice game! with some models this could be a fun little drop and play type game, but with only 2 days this is awesome! love the sound variations

agyrzstar 2022-04-04 20:46

Cool idea! I like the sound effects.

erkerkiii 2022-04-04 20:46

Maybe add some screenshots? It was a good experience.

Neat little game! Really enjoyed the partial destruction mechanics of the boat. Would love to see the partial destruction idea explored even further with bigger boats and ever more destructive weapons!

I'm not sure if it is a bug or just random chance, but I had a tiny shard of boat left and it just kept sailing through the hail of fire without being hit.

I found the soft piano sound effects oddly satisfying

I made it to a distance of 48! I really liked the shooting/hitting sound effects. It really made it feel a lot more musical and calming than I was anticipating. Cute game!

darandin 2022-04-05 06:46

I got to 46! The sound effects were really nice. Projectile prediction would have been nice for game feel I think, but overall fun! Thanks for uploading

fun thing, i like that despite being under attack in the middle of the ocean the audio is very soothing. i got 37.

Kinda buggy and minimalistic in a bad way... but I like the audio however

goat 2022-04-05 14:18

Neat little game. I'd have liked to play more! The difficult suddenly spikes. I do love the audio though, felt almost dreamlike

"Oh hey a nice cozy river game with a few cannons this should be doa- WOW THATS A LOT OF RAFTS" -Me, right before I died

kory 2022-04-05 15:23

I agree I kept falling through the boat, but I was able to get to the cannon a couple of times and I liked the sound effect on it :)

jsmitq 2022-04-05 20:28

I really like the use of sound in this game. It feels relaxing (while your ship is shattering around you) :)

frank-gevaerts 2022-04-18 22:00

Not bad! I usually don't get very far though :) I like the sound effects, and I do like the minimalist art.
