How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
You play as a pirate, but instead of stealing from other ships, you have to give away as much as possible. Also every ship has a flag that tells you what kind of ship it is.

Great game! Super fun, my only complaint is that I wish your ship went a bit faster and that your canon had more range. Super cute art style too!
thanks! glad you enjoyed :)
Good stuff! Artstyle was great and it all worked really nicely! It did get nauseating though, as the mouse sensitivity while in 1st person was very different from the mouse sensitivity while in top down view. But i am also very prone to getting motion sickness :)
Hitting enemies could be hard. It often looked as if i could hit something, but then couldn't. Also, in the beginning i thought i should shoot the treasures, but later figured out i was supposed to sail into them.
Anyway, great job! Pretty fun to play!
Thanks for playing! I'm sorry about the sensitivity issues, I should have made it adjustable but I forgot.
The floating chests are meant to be avoided, and touching one causes you to lose one point, but I don't think I made it clear enough.
Took a bit to figure it out, but you shoot ships with cannon balls. What's not to love!
thanks for playing :)
I didnt get how we pick cannon balls
There's a pile of cannonballs next to the stairs, you can take cannonballs from there and load them into the cannons
I still don't understand how to get points. my record is -31.
You're supposed to take treasure from the middle of the ship, load it into one of the cannons, and shoot it towards one of the ships with white sails. I may have made it too confusing, sorry
Very satisfying effect. Pick up item, put in cannon and fire. I enjoyed the music and love the water effects. Great game!
thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed :)
10/10 Great game but its kinda hard.
thanks for playing! It’s way more difficult than I was intending it to be, sorry about that. Glad you liked it anyway :)
thanks for playing! May I ask what it is you found weird about the camera rotation? Is it the sensitivity being too high or something else?
Damn really cool ! Loved to shoot at the pirate yarh ! Good music, for the controls, maybe a lot of sensitivity ?
And i'm not sure to get the link with the theme if someone can explain me :) !
Good work
Instead of stealing other pirates loot you give yours to them which is the reverse of what you'd normally do
Oh i didn't get it, cool !
Thanks for playing!! I'm sorry about the sensitivity, I've lowered it significantly so it should now be better, although I would still like to add an option to let you change it in-game.
The idea with the theme is that you're a reverse pirate, so instead of stealing from other ship, you have to give as much treasure to them as possible
Fun idea and game loop although the mouse sensitivity made this almost unplayable for me. Not sure if that's on my end or not.
Thank you for playing! The sensitivity was not on your end, it's my fault for not testing how it would change when I export the game into a web build. It should now be fixed so hopefully it will be more playable. :)
I had a lot of fun with this one. I love the idea of giving the loot away!
Thanks, glad you like it!
Dang, I was one tapping them boats! Also, I was confused on the mission of giving stuff away. They were trying to steal it!!
