Fun game, but the intro felt a little long

Submitted

very fun gameplay! Could you rate my game too?

Submitted

It's fun. Art and graphics are good

Submitted

Woohoo, I saved everyone :-). enjoyed the concept, I like the game style see you can do more with this in the future, maybe swap cannon sides with mouse scroll, or left/right click for shooting to different sides, but fun overall!

Submitted

It very beautiful, but you really need to look into spellchecking. It stops being dramatic and ends up being comical when there's too many spelling mistakes or they show up at a crucial point.

Submitted

It has enjoyable gameplay.

Submitted

I managed to complete it on the third try. It seems that you don't even always have to shoot, it's enough to dodge enemy ships.

I was a little disappointed that there was no boss fight. But the game is definitely cool!

Submitted

Wow I love the movement in this game! It was quite fun once you got the hang of it. Only thing is when I would hit restart it wouldn't spawn any enemies. Very fun though overall!!

I had a a hard time with the controls for the first few deaths, but after getting into it I really had a great time! I found that the music was really cool, and added to the fun of spinning around the sea and shooting ships down. The intro text scrolling sounds were hard to bear, but overall great job to you and the team! I'd appreciate it if you reviewed our game as well :)

Cheers!

I found the gameplay pretty challenging, especially on my first few tries! The shooting mechanics felt satisfying, but I often got confused when switching between cannons. I loved the ship controls. The calm music really set the mood too. Overall, a solid experience

Submitted

It was pretty tough. I only made it to the end since my third playthrough had no enemies. The shooting was satisfying, though I was constantly confused when switching cannons. I liked the ship controls and that the current seemed to get faster as the game progressed. Nice music. The calm music really went with the moodiness.

The game offers smooth controls and great graphics, making for an enjoyable experience. However, a few bugs and control quirks could use some refinement for a smoother gameplay flow.


Also can you rate our game? THX!

Submitted

Controls are smooth, graphics are great, have a good gameplay, it was a good experience thanks.

Submitted

Loved the art style of the game! Overall, it feels great to play, and I really liked the ship mechanic!

Submitted

I liked the basic mechanics and the idea. Everything is very well implemented, the sound is good. I liked the graphics too. I would like more smoothness in controlling the ship. Nice!

This game is a standout success! The combination of engaging gameplay and impressive design creates a truly enjoyable experience. It’s clear that a lot of thought and effort went into this project.

Submitted

Once I started getting a hang of the controls, I had a blast playing through this!

Submitted

Controls a bit hard but had fun!

Submitted

I'll start by saying I thought your game was fantastic. It fits the theme well, it's a super creative concept, and it's fun to play.

I did run into two odd bugs. After dying on my first attempt, I noticed that enemy ships stopped spawning during the next playthrough, which made it really easy to get to the end. Second, I noticed that sometimes it's actually possible for the player ship to shoot itself. I usually managed this when I had the ship in a spin, but it wasn't consistent.

One additional bit of feedback I'll give - the opening informational text scrawl felt like it took a bit too long to get through. I think an easy fix for that might be to let the player click or hit some key on their keyboard to skip the actually scrolling of the text and just read the finished paragraphs (like a lot of RPGs let you do). That way people can read at whatever pace they prefer, rather than the pace the letters appear.

Great job overall. Thanks for making this and sharing it with us!

Plays and looks great! I especially love the color palette. One small suggestion from me would be to visualize which side of the ship the canon is on the ship itself, so you wouldn't have to glance to the side of the screen.
