I like the game design, although it would been better you made it more difficult (enemies shooting from further) & a tutorial to how to gather resources (shooting rocks/trees did nothing). Good job for the gamejam 👏!

Submitted

Game is nice, but need several tweaks to give more fun in my opinion, also any music would improve feeling about game, even from internet, but good job keep it up!

Tweaks I would suggest:

  • Fixing cannonball physics: the balls are just sliding now, it's unnatural
  • Fixing hit boxes: ships and resources have small hit boxes, it is hard to lose if enemy cannonballs can't hit you

I liked confronting pirates and sailing around, though I wish it was a bit faster. Nice job!

Submitted

I enjoyed the gameplay and the sound design, it’s really fun! Great job!

Submitted

cute art, that pig is something, haha. Nice controls and I loved to go around sinking pirates

Submitted

Cool idea! This game is truly impressive!

Fun little game. Cool idea!

This game is truly impressive! The attention to detail and the thoughtfulness in its design make it a standout experience.

Submitted

A cool game with interesting sea battles. The top view works very well here. I liked the control of the ship with heavy response, which gives the game realism

Developer

Thanks!

I was very confused at first because I coudnt find any resources and ran out of canonballs very quickly so I ended up just swimming round the outside to avoid the ships. I was also confused on what to do with the recources collected.

the movement felt good, like how a ship would sail, and i liked how it felt like the cannonballs where falling into the ship when they hit.

Developer

Hello, thank you for the review. You did not actually run out of cannonballs. You just can't shoot to the back of the ship. We will improve the instructions in a possible future update.

Developer

The resources can be used for upgrades. Like more speed and faster regeneration. This menu cab be accessed by pressing tab while on the land

Took me a bit to get the hang of it, but it was fun! I enjoyed the upgrade system and creating the most terrifying cannon balls I could.

One suggestion is that I did manage to die during the tutorial, so you might want to pause the game while the story is rolling if you want people to read it!

Thanks for the game!

Developer

hello, thank you for the review and the suggestions :)

Nice little game! Liked the ship's movement and the waves of pirates

Submitted

Nice,  liked destroying the other ships by shooting them. Movement is a bit slow but on the other hand, that is a really big ship!

Submitted

Hee-ho. Nice game, cool idea

Submitted

Great game with a lot of potential!

Submitted

Very cool idea :D  it has really cool gameplay, the upgrade system works really great, I love it, great job!! :D

Submitted

It was quite fun to explore the upgrades. Would be nice if the ressources respawn. I didn´t quite get why i died at wave 8 since there was no enemy around and i had plenty of health left

Submitted(+1)

nice game, though i had en issue after i survived 9 waves, suddenly i was dead and lost all my resources but it showed  i had 96 lives left => 

Developer

thx! and thanks for pointing this out! will look into it.

Hello, 

thanks for the review. You probably did die. But the live counter is being reset before clicking retry. So that way it showed you had still hp left. This should indeed be fixed in the next update.

Submitted

yeah no problem, it is a very good game :) also audio was very nice!  One thing i would’ve liked is that the text would be more pirate like you know with more ‘aye’ and ‘ye’ but overall it was a good experience :)

Submitted (1 edit)

Good game, it can be built upon later with adding ships etc.

Here is my submission if anyone wants to check: https://abdullahsevin.itch.io/allican
