Game looks great! nice work!

I love the look and sound of this game! I do wish you could jump straight from the lower level to the upper level, I found bumping my head there constantly pretty annoying. But disregarding that, I thought the gameplay of throwing he bombs off the ship was really fun! Great job!

The game looks really really good and the concept is interesting and fits the theme.

The first bomb blew me in the air for a solid 30 seconds. I don't know if it was a bug but humor = 5 stars. I am dying laughing. Eventually came back down and got to play! Excellent idea. On theme. Fun game.

Great entry! I really liked the graphics art and atmosphere of the game. Game was simple and to-the-point which I liked. However, I was not able to tell if I won the game or lost? I made it to the X on the map but it just reloaded the game from the start.

@lvl99chicken We didn't quite get to adding an end screen but yes that is the end! Thanks for playing!

Nice pixel graphics! I appreciate the 2d shadows from the lightning as well. The background music worked well, though it took me a while to realize the bomb fuse sound was not rain (since it was storming, I put 2+2 together incorrectly). Also made it to the end, but apparently that platform has a gap in the collision between the ship and you can still die there lol. Overall not bad!

Very nice

Really liked this art, especially how animated the character was! The controls were a bit stick-y, but it wasn't that much of a problem - good job :)

Both the graphics and the music are amazing, the movement felt pretty smooth as well. The bombs sometimes were kinda hard to grab in time

Although the game was a bit difficult for me, the overall gameplay was very interesting and the art was very attractive

Very nice looking game with a refined-looking pixel-art style. I liked the starting area sky city.

I was a bit confused on the gameplay though. I noticed that the bombs from the crows never damaged anything, so I just stayed in the lower deck and repaired holes. Then no more bombs got through. After a few minutes of doing that, the screen got dark and it started over. I had to go to the comments to figure out that I had apparently won, but that there's no ending screen. The core gameplay loops seems cool, but doesn't seem to have much actual challenge behind it. If the bombs on the top deck could blow holes in floor, that would have been really fun.

Cool game and great-looking, but I wish there was a bit more to the gameplay.

Loved the mix of the pixel art and vfx like shading and blurring. Really professional and impressive entry. :D

louiejams 2023-05-03 10:01

Nice idea, I feel like the difficulty ramped up pretty fast but the controls seemed to work well and the music fit too! Good entry!

jaxah 2023-05-03 11:52

This is a pretty looking and sounding game. Simple gameplay which could be added to later on. Nice work!

badcop 2023-05-03 11:54

really pretty game

I loved the lightning effects and the explosions

timbaleek 2023-05-03 12:07

Really nice graphics and polish! I didn't really get if i was supposed to fight the other pirates attacking me or just keep the bombs off the ship and the holes fixed. Nicely made :)

Nice pixel art. The gameplay was kind of basic but overall good game fitting the theme. Musics and sounds were also good.

waffleworksgames 2023-05-03 20:03

Great art and fantastic music! The camera work felt great, and the overall atmosphere of the game was incredible. I do wish there was a bit more to do gameplay-wise because it got a bit repetitive after a while. It maybe would have been cool if you could throw the bombs onto the enemy ships? Awesome work overall, would totally play an extended version after the jam!

chancea 2023-05-03 20:49

@waffleworksgames There will definitely be an extended version after the jam, we've already started building new features. Thanks for your feedback!

mediflect 2023-05-04 02:39

I really loved the presentation! The pixel art was top-notch and the sounds fit really well. Lovely aesthetic overall. Great work!

ruslana 2023-05-04 10:46

Nice game. Gameplay is cool, it is simple and unique as for me. The pixel art style looks great. Sounds are absolutely fitting. Well done, it looks like a complete little game!

simon-rahnasto 2023-05-04 17:21

This was really good! The graphics are super well polished and feel incredibly juicy. The movement was snappy and had a unique feel to it. But my favourite part was the audio, it really elevated the game. Both the music but also the Sound effects, like the cannon shots where just perfect.

Happy to hear that you are continuing work on it, that's a great idea :smile:

diego-teran 2023-05-04 23:07

Really liked the art and mood! Sound effects were great too!

bokonon 2023-05-06 16:43

The pixel art is amazing! the jump of the PC feels really nice!
