Fun yet frustrating in all the right ways!

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

rly fun to play honestly I don't know if my pc is just really bad but the frame rate is super super low The barrels also sometimes passes through the ground and the fence

captainzo 2023-10-03 11:45

Great game and very frustrating ! Good job !

jk5000 2023-10-03 12:39

A super funny and very well made little game. Well done.

eryph 2023-10-03 14:38

Simple yet great, well polished game !

I would like to have more to do besides just finding a key, maybe more steps before getting to the deck? Also i'm a little bit subject to motion sickness and i now have a nice headache, THANKS !

Maybe subtitles could be great for bad english speakers or no sound players, the voice lines are gold. It would be sad that someone don't get it :)

Great job !

Damn!! The atmosphere is just killer on this one! It really feels like you're below deck with pirates above. So many great nuances to give you the sense you are there. The audio and visuals working together were just fantastic. :ok_hand: Was I smelling damp wood and ocean water at some point? :thinking: :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Really nice work.

The dialogue is hilarious too.

It looks so insanely good, I kind of wished the collision shape on the barrels were a bit tighter, it looked off when they clipped into each other sometimes. You set the bar so high! I also kept trying to jump. I get why you didn't have it... but even if spacebar did a terrible low jump, it would help a little with some of the frustration. haha.

I actually felt super claustrophobic at the beginning. So... great job? :rofl:

@minro @kilthorne @captainzo @jk5000 @eryph and @scrapmetal especially haha thank you guys for your kind words, feedbacks and enthusiasm !! It feels great ! @federick-adrian-coo yes our frame rate and mouse sensitivity might be a bit unsettling, that's one axis of improvement for sure, and we plan on fixing it !

See you all in the comment sections of your own games ! :wink:

oscar-berry 2023-10-03 18:50

Thank you all for your feedback, it makes us extremely happy and it confirms our decisions to add and modify certain aspects of the game when we'll have the time! Thanks! :smile:

I wish I could have gotten through more of it but the motion blur made me motion sick so I had to stop earlier than I would have liked. Its a fun yet frustrating premise though! Definitely made for people like me who will just continually throw themselves at something until it works.

arthur-othy-gares 2023-10-04 10:43

Thanks everyone, it's great to have all these useful feedbacks. It motivates us to upgrade the concept !

Really fun

hiding-dev 2023-10-04 13:19

Good game! Had fun and frustration playing this

congeesetador 2023-10-04 14:32

Was a bit hard to understand the goal of the game except move around the barrels to get to the places, I loved the audio for the game quite a lot though, it really makes you feel like you are on a pirate ship with pirates, the only problem I had with the game is I couldn't play it for very long because of how fast the camera was when turning/motion blur it really hurt my eyes to turn but I can a lot of effort was put into making this game and I congratulate you on your efforts! Good submission

anton4ik-dev 2023-10-04 14:33

Funny, funny and... funny I think. Good time killer!

arthur-othy-gares 2023-10-04 14:37

@congeesetador I totally agree, we will work on the motion blur to avoid the motion thickness.

qaolin 2023-10-04 15:44

Seems similar to our game :D

xuefeng 2023-10-04 15:58

nice game! take 15mins out of my live XD

knildropi 2023-10-04 17:56

Really fun! The voice acting cracked me up a few times xD

bassilij 2023-10-04 19:21

It's a cool game! Too bad it's short)

cradac 2023-10-04 21:32

fun and frustrating. Really great game and awesome take on the theme. A+ for the voice acting and the shanty singing in the background!

jordan-neff 2023-10-04 23:10

Haha, this was a great take on the theme! Lighting was nice, but the swings in automatic exposure values were a bit extreme. Loved the dialogue and the sea shanty. I also discovered a fun exploit to get rid of the barrels... bb1.jpgbb2.jpg Did I win?!

arthur-othy-gares 2023-10-05 08:10

I think you've won @jordan-neff :joy: For the bug in question, is it the one where you have to try to put the barrels in the ground? Thanks for the feedbacks !

egormnc 2023-10-05 20:03

interesting game and its concept

jordan-neff 2023-10-05 23:07

@arthur-othy-gares No, but not far off from that. I found that if you pick up a barrel and get into a corner the collision will force them outside of the ship. I first discovered it near the one window with the shelves in front of it but after getting around a dozen barrels out the window I had enough room to just force them into the corner and out of existence! lol

arthur-othy-gares 2023-10-06 09:00

Thanks @jordan-neff we will fix it :ok_hand:

This game had a humorous spin on the theme, which I appreciated. However, it might have been even more engaging if there were additional tasks besides just grabbing a key. The brief appearance of the little fire added some excitement and tension, which was good, but having it appear more strategically as the game progressed could have built even more tension . I found the ending a bit anticlimactic, but overall, great job to the team!

turbotartine 2023-10-11 11:19

Hi ! Seems fun ! Can you upload a .zip archive please ? :pray: I cannot install WinRar in my device.

krism 2023-10-15 15:28

good job

literato-games 2023-10-16 00:00

Nice game!! This music remember the pirate games like Pirates of the Caribean

sal-zhang 2023-10-19 15:31

When I play this game, I feel the concept of the game, it is the soul of the game, can attract my interest and keep them interactive.

A good concept can make a game stand out. In addition, the visuals and music of the game also had a significant impact on my experience.

The visual effects of the game screen it's FANTASTIC!!! I love this, and the harmony of the music combined with the atmosphere of the game makes the whole experience more pleasant.

In addition, the difficulty and balance of the game are also key elements of the quality of the game, they can ensure that the game is challenging but not too difficult.

All in all, I think it’s a great little game that has the concept, the visuals, the music and the gameplay to keep players interested and engaged.

This is a measure of the quality of a small game, and this game gives me a lot of fun.

If you like my reviews, check out my game too! Absolutely stunning! Thank you!!

Nice game! The looks are amazing, really setting the mood with the music and voice lines as well. The only annoyance I found was that I could not reduce the mouse sensitivity in the esc menu. Forcing me to adjust my window settings to be able to play it. But other than that a great game, well done!
