Cool game, felt a bit easy at times, you could make it something like the bullets pass through the waves so you need to do more dodging? Just an idea :)
Thanks for playing! We designed the difficulty to ramp up naturally. There were ideas to have items that floated on the screen and I had a thought of potential bigger cannons to pierce waves but we couldn't fit that in with the scope. Upgrades (new abilities) and new enemies would definitely be something to think about upon revisiting the project :) Thanks for the feedback!
Fun game with a nice art style!
Thanks we had a great artist!
Fun! It's interesting how in principle it should be easy - and it definitely starts that way but you quickly just get overloaded and it becomes challenging
Thanks for playing! We tried to ramp the difficulty to the point of being able to last until the music loops so you can hear the whole song that our composer created :) Glad you enjoyed the game!
The difficulty ramps up quickly but it's fun. Nice job!
Thanks! We tried to make it so you could hear as much of the song as possible. We challenged ourselves to make it to the point where the music looped haha
It's really cute.
Thanks!
Oops! I kept ramming the ship and losing HP!
I really would have liked for the ships to wreck each others. As a kraken I personally don’t think you can shoot canonballs like that without consequences!
Love the music, it’s very soothing. So much so that I forget to send waves to destroy those pesky merchants.
Thanks for playing! Ships wrecking each other with the cannonballs would be cool. I agree! We had a great composer so i'm glad you enjoyed the music :)
Pretty cute, I like the concept and was really fun to play!
Thanks!
Really cut and Enjoyble exprience. Did a fine job with the art and music.
Thanks! I agree we had a great dual threat in composing and art :)
pretty fun love the art would be cool to have some different attacks that are as clean as the current wave one!
Completely agree. Ran a bit low on time but new attacks would be a great idea. We had a great artist!
Too cute! Splash splash :)
I would add some kind of cooldown since now I can just spam waves all over the place. Bullets cancel it, but still. I would like to see something like Whirpools or other 'attacks'
Originally the cooldown was higher but we wanted to splash with both tentacles and didn't get around to the setup. New attacks would be really cool. I know we had fun making it. Not sure if the team would want to do more but new attacks would be on the list. New ships/obstacles too. Thanks for playing :)
I like the artstyle!
Thanks! We had a great artist!
The cutscene was nice and the gameplay is simple but fun.
Thanks!
