Nice game, I liked the increasing difficulty of the enemies and the upgrades. I thought the particle effects for the submarine looked cool too. One tip for the pixel art, try to keep a consistent base pixel size on everything in the scene. Like for example the base pixel size on the restaurant building is huge, while the door on the shop has a tiny base pixel size. Having an inconsistent pixel size makes the art style way less cohesive looking. Great job on this tho I had a fun time playing it.

This is very nice submission, congrats! Ruderal Ideas said exactly what I wanted to say, the delay between the storms seems to be very small, making it very tricky to chose when you are a slow picker like me hahaha.

It was also our first time with Godot, how did you feel about it? And do you plan on continuing the game after the jam?

I loved the retro vibe, the music and graphics were on point. The concept was really good, and I liked the details you put in! 

The calm part was a bit too fast for me, and since we had the jump to storm button maybe it can be a bit longer by default :)  Also, the boat's actions may be a bit too slow (moving and shooting). Just some fine tuning needed since it's already a very fun game :D

Pretty good top-down shooter. Upgrades kept me hooked.

Some criticism:

• Not much enemy progression besides some boats with more HP
• UI could use some work

There were many cool details like the restaurant getting visually bigger or the transition into the storm. All the rounds had just the right difficulty. Good job!

Nice game, simple but fun. I was wondering what the decor & food upgrades do, maybe it increase the income? I like the fact you brought some civilian ships & different enemy types. Good job 🎉!

Fun defense game! I failed twice only because I shot civilian ship and crashed into one.

I like how it's simple and easy to learn but also not hard to master. Did survive 10 nights BTW.

This is a fundamentally solid game, and I had fun with it - kudos this being your first gam jam! That storm was so smooth too, it really helped make the experience feel smoother. Some minor things I'd say to improve that could go a long way if you ever come back to this idea:

I think having some kind of small indicator of the health of each ship would especially in later stages where the visual differences between ships is not unnoticeable, but not distinct either.

I think someone said it before, but increasing the 'calm' period would also really help in the early waves.

Finally, I think some kind of meter to show when you can and can't shoot would be great. With the high initial reload times (and how it changes as you upgrade it), it would help not only with placing your shots better, but better emphasise the impact of your upgrades.

That being said, great job!

Fun little game, great job! A couple suggestions: I thought the 'calm' part could be a bit longer, especially in the beginning, so that the player can read the upgrades as it took me a couple waves to see what all the choices were and decide. Also, it would be great if there was some visual result and consequence within the game of upgrading the decor and food of the restaurant! Like maybe instead of losing when you fail to ward off a pirate, it decreases the amount of customers you have, and the more you upgrade your restaurant the more customers you get, and your goal is to get as many customers and make as much gold as you can! This way the focus of the gameplay is more integrated with the restaurant concept  (since currently the gameplay is just based on warding off pirates, the restaurant concept seems like a bonus/not as related)

Mechanically sound and I like the idea although there's definitely things to improve. Asthetics are a big one. I liked your storm animation, but every sprite having different pixel sizes looks unappealing. Make sure to keep that consistent when making pixel art. You also want to add sound to different things happening in game to make it more engaging. One when you fire a cannon, upgrade your restaurant, kill an enemy etc. Other than that its a pretty good first game jam submission. Good job!

Funny how upgrading is supposed to be calm but I gotta read everything and decide in less than 10s HAHAHAHA really interesting concept though! And extra kudos to the charming little sail blowing back and forth when I move around, nice touch!
