Graphically, this game is stunning for a jam entry. Objects blurring as they move into the horizon, the waves of the sea, the foam against the shore... it's all great stuff. I just wish the audio had received the same treatment... the soundscape is very minimal, and I'm afraid to say I found the soundtrack pretty monotonous.
Controlling your ship is great fun, especially when you realise you can pull off some pretty impressive drifting, and especially especially when you realise that mashing the shift key will send your ship into hyperspeed. However, the game isn't great at explaining itself; I hadn't a clue how to bring up the island menu until Golden told me (come to a full stop at the dock), and on one playthrough the pirates seemed to just stop spawning, leaving me without my relic-buying income stream.
