Fantastic little arcade game! I loved the opening scene, and the art was really good. The gameplay got a bit repetitive after a while, but that's fine for a jam game.

That was a fun little game! I like the use of the theme. It gets hectic quite fast. Good job!

is it Guybrush Threepwood at the beginning ?

The boat physic add up a lot and make the game quite unique

sound and music is so fun

Haha that was great! The artwork, the sounds and music, the little story bit at the start, the way stuff flies around the ship when things get hectic. My run ended a little earlier when I got stuck between a pirate and a ladder somehow and it yeeted me off the ship. I guess the dice are indeed cursed...

Very fun! I think the simplest problems to fix would have been adding invincibility frames (so you can't lose all your health in one second) and making it so you didn't have to see the opening scene every time

Thanks for the feedback! Iā€™ll definitely implement those improvements post-jam :)

This is a cool arcade game! I like the fact that you have to essentially multitask a lot of things to keep the ship afloat as it offers some real intense gameplay. Good job!

Developer

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed playing!

Got 1006! Is there a boss or something if I get more?

Developer(+1)

Good job! Unfortunately I ran out of time and couldnā€™t implement milestone events, but Iā€™ll definitely be doing so post-jam!

Nicer little arcade game, good job!

Developer

Thank you!

Really liked this! Felt like a real old-school arcade game! After one or two failed attempts I got the hang of it and got up to 2600 gold with 2 hearts still left. I feel like if the difficulty ramped up as the gold went up that could help with player engagement and wanting to go for a high score. That said, really awesome work and I enjoyed it!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it :)

Pretty fun and arcady game!
It sometimes feels unfair because of the ammount of stuff the golden dice throws at you, but that's how rng works

Developer

Glad you enjoyed!

This is well polished! It took only 1 failed attempt to figure out what to do. The movement of the character/player didn't feel that great, but the movement of the boat and the physics seemed cool! Nice work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! Iā€™ll definitely work more on the movement post-jam

A really fun arcade, and quite intense too!

Nice one! really liked the cute animation, it was very informative šŸ§

Game was frustrating at times when the pirates surrounded me and I was helpless or when I tried throwing planks at the ship to fix it but kept missing.

Overall very nice!

Developer

Glad you liked it!
