Good start! I included your game in my Pirate Jam Pre-Jam Skirmish compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

To Bount, or not to Bount. That be the challenge matey! Great game with lots of potential given a little more time.

Fair winds and calm seas to ye!

That pixel art looks very cool! It took a little while to understand how to play, but once I did it seemed too easy to play against AI. Also, it would've been nice to mention the controls in the menu and I missed a replay button! Good job :-)

Developer

Thank ye for yer kind words, but most of the graphics was looted on the high seas...
Also, glad to hear
yer not a landlubber, but I've updated game description with instructions for those who arrrr .D

Intended to make another smarter bot who can bount or at least counter-bount, as well as instructions, cut scene, and replay option but time was scares and seas were rough...

Fair winds to ye!

I liked the logo/title. It was pretty challenge to bount the mates!

Developer

Sail ho! fair winds to ye .D

It took me a while to find out how  to ‘Bount’, you must be pressed up against the other player.

I like the concept Kind of a battle royal of shoving/ grappling.  This was a good introduction to that Gang Beasts game I might have to get that now.

Developer

Ahoy! .D

Glad you figured it out, tho I've updated game description with instructions for potential landlubbers!

Fair winds to ye!

It's fun, I wish the AI could bount and the controls were a bit less awkward, the bount could have had an animation to make the startup/cooldown clearer and the key could have been on the other side of the board. I think it could be a lot more fun with some polish

Developer

Thank ye for yer kind words!

I intended to have another much smarter bot who can bount or at least counter-bount, to have bount indicatiors, rotating hands, animations etc. but blimey! couldn't make it all in time .D

It was designed from the beginning as one-keyboard 2 player game, so each player has only half of the keyboard at disposal, hence awkward controls... I agree they could be made better.

This one has me confused..

Shiver me timbers!

You might want to check game description for some clarification, yaaaaar!

I like the art, though some animations wouldn't be bad. It did take a while to figure out what the goal was. But I liked it! Never heard the term "bount" before.

Developer

Ye old barrel of moonshine!

Animations would be excellent, if I just had enough time to add them (along with bunch of more planned polish) :D
Glad you figured it out, I did update the description with instructions, might prove useful to others!

pssss I made it up, but keep this to yerself if you don't feel inclined to become shark bait ☠️🦈

I have no idea how this game works?

Developer

Dead men tell no tales! ‎‍☠️

P.S. I've updated game description with instructions, they might prove useful :D
Do let me know how it goes!

Now thats an interesting way to approach the team! I learned a new word! To Bount!

Betraying others to get ahead! Now that's being a dastardly pirate! Reminds me of a movie I've seen before! (Although it's somehow difficult to recall! *wink wink wink*) Good job!

Developer

Fair winds to ya! 🏴‍☠️
