How does your game fit the theme?
it has a "calm" period where you gather resources. and a "storm" period where you attack enemy's
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
We wrote all code from scratch. Most assets are self made. however some are from assets packs.

The game is pretty good but it could us a little more feedback regarding when you shoot things or mine things on land. Also the sound slider only decreases ambient sounds and not bullets falling in the water.
Pretty solid game, the text in the begining was a bit too much so maybe shorten it down or spread it out more felt like reading an essay. The canon spam also made it really easy to kill enemies so maybe add a cooldown but overall great game!
It's a fun game ! I like how you gather resources while making sure that no enemies are attacking your ship. However, I found two main issues.
The first one is that the game should start when the player has finished reading the introduction. I started my first game mid-life in the middle of a wave because I took the time to read everything.
The second one is the movement. I don't know if it's on purpose, but the movements felt very slow. Try using deltaTime if you didn't, because otherwise the speed of the movements depends on the framerate of the player.
It's still a fun game to play and it's great to be able to finish a game in a week. I hope that my comment will help you in the future !
hello,
Thank you for your suggestions, the fact that you took damage while reading the intro should indeed be fixed. We did not think this trough.
The movement is indeed very slow. But this is on purpose because you can upgrade the speed of the ship when pressing e while on the land.
Thank you for your time to comment :)
A cool game (i have no clue what this genre is called). Pretty good graphics and audio, a bit unbalanced gameplay. If i were to give you advise: putting a tutorial purely in text is a pretty bad idea, it should be interactive, this way people will understand it better.
7/10 :)
I got stuck after running into the land but cool game otherwise
Oops😬. Thank you for pointing out that this is posisble.
Nice lil game!
The premise and gameplay loop is very interesting, it has potential!
Tho I would have some critiques, mainly:
- there is a bit too much text at the start. Maybe it could be shortened, or be spread throughout the game?
- the controls are realistic, but maybe a bit too slow (at the same time I don't expect a ship to go at 200km/h tho, for this one I don't have a clear solution)
- I couldn't seem to be able to open the upgrades menu (probably a bug tho)
- the cannon can be spammed, thus annihlating enemies instantly, not making them too much of a threat
But, on the other side, I very much liked the detail put into the cannon shooting mechanic! (the fact it can only shoot from the side you are pointing is really nice, also appreciate the sound it makes when hitting water or land) and I think this has a lot of potential, having 2 different gameplay styles in 1 game!
Anyways, good job for your first gamejam! ;)
Hello, thank you for your kind words and possible improvements.
The upgrade menu can only be opened when you're docked, you can dock by pressing 'e' when close to the land.
You can also upgrade the speed for the ship in that menu.
The cannonball shoot speed is ondeed something we need to improve. But our time ran out :p
Best regards, Flawake
