I love the animated tiles! This is a really cool idea for a game, yarrrr!

Submitted

Whoever stabs Jones' heart, theirs must take its place and captain the Flying Dutchman, as the ship must have a captain :D

really cool game. thanks for submission. flying dutchman needs a captain.

Submitted

Good start, keep going!

Submitted

I like the art style, great work!

I like where you're headed with this. Keep up the work and if you release an update let me know!! I tried the arrow keys but didn't notice any cannonballs being shot out of my ship, so I just ran past the enemy! I agree with others that the water tile is a bit intense. However, I love the splash effect on the rocks. Wonderful touch.

Submitted

Was there a shooting button?  Couldnt find it.  I liked what you had done, shame you ran out of time and only had the tutorial.  If you had any of the next level, even partly completed, I would have suggested including it and showing.  If you died from the first ship then the game just sits there.  The animation of the sea is a little too fast and made me a little sick (sea sick, get it?)  lol

Developer

Yeah there are two ways to shoot. With the arrow keys or with the right stick on a controller.

Sorry about the sea sickness we plan on improving that tile.

Submitted

I came back and tried shooting.  I like to shoot.  Very nice as I thought this would be a big miss.  Add instructions for it. :)  I dont like how you can shoot straight.  Id say maybe limit to left and right, since that is where the guns are.  Maybe a little like the old pirates game

Developer

Thought I had the controls listed on the project page. I must have missed them when posting.

Great start, please change the water sprites they made my eyes go funny, feel you were wanting to have the ghost ship do something but run out of time.

Carry on with it.

the controls felt natural without knowing what they were i managed to pick it up.

Solid sprite work! I wished there was more.

Submitted

I really like the shooting mechanic, it feels good. I think you have something there. I think that the water textures may be a bit too saturated, especially once you get the flying dutchman (it gets a bit too "stealthy" :D).

I'd like to see the level after the tutorial!

Submitted

The game is short! I will love to play it more! I really enjoyed the art design as well

Submitted

Just when I got to be the cool boat it's over! But it seems to be a good foundation, you should work on it more! We haven't had a good arcadey boat game sine Overboard for the PSX if you are old enough to remember that :)

A litle bit short but good game, the sprites are very nice,   to say something to improve, the button to quit the game (Quit) in a browser does not lead anywhere, it is not necessary I think
