Really love the mechanics of your game and the graphics!!!

Ha HA HA .. I wanted the cow on board. It didn't want to go on deck. But I moved something around and now it is living below my bed. Nice little game. Unfortunately I couldn't get much profit. Best to keep my day-job!

The third level is too simple :)

There are really not enough sounds or music for immersion and leisurely choice.

Very cool concept, with charming graphics. I liked the mechanic that the voyage is just a textual report, it's a great shortcut for a jam game!

The pixel-hunting was a bit annoying sometimes, but what can you do if space is limited, eh?

Ah man I can't play games like this. I played the first round for about 15 minutes, crammed every crew member possible with food and water and then realized it keeps going haha. Fun game, maybe it's just something in my brain but finding ways to fit things together is super satisfying. With maybe some audio for each item you grab or some other interactive elements I could totally see this being a full game. Nice job!

loved the concept. i was randomly placing stuff on the ship until i saw the food stores board. then it got interesting. Placing water box is always the easiest one. The challenging one is the luxury food. but overall good job.

Amazing art, and fit the theme really well! Was a lot of fun deciding how to fit the cargo + passengers on the ship. Well done!

I enjoyed the pixel art! it was impressive how the sprite on the cursor would indicate that it can fit and things rebalance to accommodate the placement. Nice job :clap:

- Nice, I enjoyed the art style and rearranging object squishing them into the limited space. - Could maybe use some relaxing music, water sounds

It's a very nice game! I liked pixel art style a lot, especially different poses and outfits of passengers. It would be even more charming if some objects were animated, but it looks beautiful as it is.

It's a bit sad to see a cow labeled as just 'luxury food' but I guess that the reality of the shipping industry. 🙃 Thanks for sharing the game!

Great art! Not a big challenge, but it doesn't need to be. It's just calming to stack stuff into the ship 😄 Some music and additional sound effects would make it a complete package.

It's really fun, I never thought that the ability to freely place items would make stuffing things in even more flexible.

Bought my ship after 3 trips :) Nice idea, and great execution. I liked the physics when placing the objects, it feels really satisfying. The pixel art looks great as well. Very nice entry overall

Really fun game! Wasn't the most difficult but nice concept and good execution.

nilan 2023-10-07 16:23

I found a bug :bug: , you can stack items on the left side of ship.

A nice simple well executed game, very enjoyable.

AHOY. i completed this. I was arranging things to where i would make LOADS of money and not have like, any, extra stuff. anyway. Fun stuff. I enjoys strategy games and this had just enough to try different things to see what would max out profits or to see if I could get away with putting things in odd places or arranging only women or only men or only luxury or only common, etc to see what would happen.

really fun game, there's been quite a few cargo/inventory management games for this jam but i think this is the most cleanly executed (simple but fun!) that i've played! it's very satisfying how the cargo snaps into place, and how you can pick up the sprites and put them back on the dock. the little details makes it count. I won by day 3 haha. it'll be a perfect game in my books, just missing some BGM

Good game concept. I really liked the pixel art graphics. It would be great to have some ambient music.

Good job, I found it really enjoying and would have kept playing for much longer. Lots of potential to extend on this type of game.

I win, really good game. The idea deserves to be explored further in a more complete game I think! And also with more difficulty, it could be really good.
