Arr ye matey be a mighty fine submission to this 'ere game jam ya gone and done developed in ye spare time. I do be a sucker for entertainments of the most nautical variety and I was mighty pleased to have her a look-see over. Our dream of a republic may be now restin' in the depths of Davy Jones' locker but God rest her soul, it was a dream more lovely than a flagon of rum at the end of the longest voyage. May the salt in your beard ever flavor your stews and may the wind blow steadily in the general direction of your intended passage

Developer

This might be the coolest review ever! Thanks a lot matey!

Wow, nice game. We have very similar intros, I like this pirate game.

I did however struggle to read the text when running in normal browser mode but when switching to full screen it helped.

Good job.

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing and leaving nice feedback.

Yeah, optimization for multiple screen resolutions is always painful so I made it playable on all resolutions (hopefully) but the text is small in the window.

I liked playing your game. It is quite enjoyable and replayable.

Final score: 200

Great game! Very fun and satisfying to play, the sound effects made me think of Anno, lol!

Good work!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing and leaving feedback! And nice score!

nice game with good implemented mechanics and nice clean art style as well. Well done

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing and leaving feedback.

Can't take too much credit for the art though, that's the beautiful Kenney's assets, I myself really suck at art :-)

Great job with the smooth game play! The tripleshot was a nice touch; felt really satisfying to line up next to the enemy, land all 3 shots, and hear the krk-krk-krk. The animated sinking was cool too!

Proximity based AI was well implemented. Gameplay was intuitive, though I think it would have been even better with a deeper gameplay loop (e.g. upgrades, or tougher enemies).

Nonetheless, solid submission!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing and leaving feedback!

Honestly, with the sinking, I feel it needed something more to make it better, maybe just some water bubble particles would do the trick.  And as usual, the plans were big but the enemy AI and polish took more time than expected so I had to settle for a simple game loop :-)

Submitted(+1)

You did a really good job with the controls, and the enemy AI suited the game well. It may be nice to add things like power ups to heal or improve your ship or maybe constructable defences in order to give the game a little more depth.

Great game! The controls feel great and the visual and sound effects feel great too.

I liked this one a lot, reminds me of some of the mechanics from the old Sid Meiers Pirates game. I played it on my youtube and gave my feedback if you want you can check it out here 

Developer(+1)

Wow! Thanks a lot for playing, leaving a nice review and playing my game on your YouTube channel.

Seeing my game on YouTube felt great, so thanks a lot for it!

Really nice. Nice mechanics, game feel, simple AI made me thinking abou strategies. Well done.

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for playing and leaving a nice review! 

Actually, AI is something I really need to study more in the future. This is my first game with an actual AI and it was quite overwhelming sometimes so I was able to implement only a very simple AI.

Submitted

Sadly I couldn't play. The screen just goes black for me

Developer

Hmm, sorry to hear that. 

Have you had problems with other Unity WebGL games (most of the games submitted to this game jam are Unity WebGL) or is it just mine that doesn't work?

Submitted

I just realized it could be the Itch.io app. I'll try again on Chrome

Haha, love the "Drunken Sailor" music themes! Very clean execution, satisfying hits and mechanics. Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for playing and leaving a nice review! 

Yeah, I was really happy finding the song on opengameart.org, I didn't expect to find anything this cool :-)

Submitted(+1)

Very fun and addicting package.  The ship combat and effects were satisfying. I was always so tempted to go out and explore, but knew my duty as a pirate was to take down the pesky do-gooders.

Developer

Thanks a lot! Actually, there is a lack of things to explore, that's why the enemies are so aggressive and force you to stay near the base :-D

Submitted(+1)

Very nice game. I really like the move and the shoot system. Music is awesome!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing and leaving a very kind review.

Great art style and music. I love pirate games. Thanks for submitting!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing! Can't take too much credit for the art, that's all Kenney's assets and the music is also publicly available :-)

I'm definitely a sucker for a good pirate themed game probably stretching back to my love of the Monkey Island games and I really enjoyed this one!

Really cool enemy AI I felt like the ships were very alive and responsive to what I was doing.

The sound effects were excellent, especially those juicy cannon shots, nice work!

The visuals were fun and laid back and overall I just had a relaxing time playing this game even though the combat can be quite intense.

Excellent work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for the great feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Man, I love Monkey Island as well, I even played it so young that I didn't understand what I was doing at all but it was still fun :-D

This is more of an original Port Royale combat inspired but we need more good pirates games definitely!

Submitted(+1)

Nice little game! The only thing that felt off to me was that the cannon balls took some direction from the ship's velocity. Took some getting used to. Love the music!!! Drunken Sailor is one of my favorite sea shanties.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it! 

Believe me, it looked really weird when they didn't take the ship's velocity :-D

Yeah, I was so happy when I found the Drunken Sailor on opengameart.org and realized it's not sitting under any license :-)

Submitted(+1)

Ahoy m8tey! We pirates must stick together. 

Nice that I have 3 cannons and the others just one. Very heavy sound effects, strong bass.

Story works, mechanics are fun. EXPLOSIONS!

Well done!

Developer

Ahoy! Arrrr, thanks for playing! 

Glad that you like the explosions, this is the first time I used Bloom Post Processing but it's not that visible in day scenes :-D

Submitted(+1)

Really great game, with a lot of polish well done!

Developer

Thanks a lot! I really went for simple mechanics and polish this time so great it shows! :-)
