Very cool game, reminded me of "60 seconds" (without the 60 sec. prep phase xD).
I think the different events that can appear are quite refreshing and keep the game interesting. The resource management aspect is quite engaging.
I think a general direction where to go to would have been nice though, I headed west and then could not traverse the last tile; I survived for 15 days and then got eaten by a Kraken after going all in against pirates (and losing).
All in all a fun game with lots of potential!
