This was a lot of fun! Lots of cool bells and whistles for a Jam game that I really appreciated like the little emotes my ship would do, the fact that there were classes and color options and even the upgrade menu and roulette (I don't actually know how I accessed the upgrade menu and couldn't bring it back up to make my ship even faster). But most importantly, every main aspect of the game just felt good and worked! Nicely done! Will be back after I've gone and rated some more games to deliver the rest of the pies :D !

Developer

Glad that you enjoyed our little game. When the speed of the ship is upgraded, it's manoeuvrability does not match it hence it feels that speed is still low. Will fix this after the jam!

I almost delivered all the pies :,(

Developer(+1)

Haha! If you deliver all, you'll make it to the leaderboard ;)

Once I got the ship controls it became really fun, although I did encounter some collision issues here and there but nothing that would break the game.

LOVED IT !

Developer

Glad to heat that. We're planning to fix the controls after the jam.

Lots of cools stuff in here, like multiple classes and an upgrade system.

Developer

Thanks Luxon5! I loved using your extensions!

This was surprisingly fun once I got into it! I liked the idea of being able to level up and that there were multiple classes. The controls were a bit jittery and it wasn't always clear what I did wrong or right when a pie was delivered or not. Not getting top marks for graphics, since they were free assets, but that's fine. Not sure how the theme was implemented.

Developer

Thank you! The pie icon turns green when delivered and there's a 'ping' sound like doorbell. I guess, we'll need to work on that.

I love the song at the background and the art is nice

Thank you! Both of these are credited in Attributions on the Home screen.

I found the controls a bit hard and unintuitive but besides that it is a good game. The graphics (including UI) a very clean and the amount of content (including ship classes, color choice etc.) is unusually extensive for a Game Jam!

Developer

Thank you! It was an attempt at RPG. Glad you liked it.

Interesting game. Basically a shooter, only not in space but at sea. Still much better than a regular shooter because there are missions, gambling, multiple classes of ships with their advantages and disadvantages and it is never monotonous. For the best result, it is best not to upgrade the ship at all because it costs a lot of gold and the game is short and ends after the final boss. I had a better result when I lost my life earlier than reaching the end.The graphics are good, although they seem generic to me. The music loop suits the game even though it is short and after a while it becomes tiresome. The controls are fine for me after a little getting used to them. A solidly made game with more depth than meets the eye.

Developer

Thanks a lot for your feedback! We could make only this much in the 9 days time.

well made but so hard to move and i dont see the theme in it

Developer

The weather makes the ship unstable so thats the theme.

I would have preferred WASD over the arrow keys, but the game is fun and have lots of mechanics going on. Good work! 

Developer

WASD coming up after the Jam!

Submitted(+1)

Really polished game, I love it. And the graphics are gorgeous. I would just change the controls, I think it would be more intuitive for the Up key to always move the ship forward. 

Developer

Thanks for the review. I'd work a bit more on the controls.

Great game! loved the setting and the gameplay was great! I lied figuring out how to line up the shot. The ships seemed to get stuck on the land's edge a lot and control kind of weirdly. It was also hard to tell when you were delivering the pies, some kind of visual indicator might have helped. I also didn't seem to get any coins from the waves of ships in the ambush. The barrier exploding sound was way too loud. Overall, very impressed with how much you were able to include here. Great work!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback.

When the pie is delivered, the icon turns green and there is a 'ping' sound.

The ships were not supposed to drop coins, though a good suggestion.

I've a bit to work on controls and sounds.

Really cool bunch of systems you got going on here! Classes, upgrades, gambling, etc. Although I should say as a right-handed WASD gamer reaching my left arm over to the arrow keys caused me physical pain lol

Developer

I totally understand, Many of the other comments are also suggesting the same.

I've been following you on Discord. Keep up the cool stuff!

Ahoy might pie-rate! I have always love for the sailing games. I liked this one too!

Developer

Nice to know you liked the game!

Really well done, getting caught in the whirlwind was such a good touch. Controls felt a bit rough to get use to ( but that was probably part of the idea ) the wake behind the boat is such a nice touch.

Developer(+1)

I'll work a bit on controls after the jam. Thanks for the feedback.

Developer

Thank you!

A real fun game! I have been playing for almost half an hour and I really enjoy it. however the controls are a bit difficult to get used to. but the gameplay makes up for what it's lost. and I am glad that this game has leaderboards for the players to keep track on their scores. I love it!

Developer

Happy to hear you enjoyed the game and made it to top of the leaderboard :D
