This gives me "Reigns"-vibes - trying to balance stuff at the expense of something else, and hoping the choices you make will work out in the end. The music was nice and the look is also very good! That water shader is cool! :D

I think you managed to put together a really nice game here! However, I did win on the first try, so it wasn't very difficult. Without anything to do while travelling between islands, it certainly felt like a very long time where nothing happened. I think it would be nice to have -some- tiny way to impact the meters in some way while travelling, but then ofcourse let the big choices have the greatest impact. :) I would also like to see more variation of events - as of now, I was only playing once but got the same whale-event 2-3 times, which removed a bit of the excitement. :>

I like the concept but I couldn't find any controls other than selecting from the choice menu when an island is reached. If that's all there is, then the wait between islands needs to be much shorter.
You also probably need more than 2 options for each choice with more varied effects on food/morale etc

The model for the ship is cool and the sea graphics are well done - I like the crew - you put a guy in the crows nest.

Enjoyable simple game. Great job!

Loved the simplicity of the game. From the art style to gameplay I felt like if you had a bit more time this could be an awesome game!

I really enjoyed playing and you inspired me to build a ship game, I love games like Black Flag, Raft and want to make a simpler one like you did.

Thanks for making this game and great work! I loved the mechanics of hunger, morale and gold!

I really enjoyed this! A slightly decreased time between choices would be appreciated, along with maybe some insight into the percentage chance of success to some actions.

I like this type of game and I've never seen one about ships. Small choices make me feel connection with crew. 

This game is pretty good considered it's done in a few days. Would love to play final version.

Neat game, nice graphics. I like the moral decisions. Got to throw some crew overboard but the rest made it to the new land :D

I enjoyed playing, it's a pretty fun game. The music was very nice. The crew doesn't like me, I got thrown overboard 6 times :(

Fun idea for a game, and nice looking 3D. Music was nice but very low (would be nice to be able to increase volume), and maybe some sound effects too. I liked the idea of getting to do events at each stop but the game would probably need either 1) something to do between stops or 2) shorter travel time between each stop to stay fun, after a while it got a bit boring. :)

Overall though, well done!
