I like the idea and the gameplay in the fundamental level. It's fun to free people from the enemy ships and upgrade your own ship. After figuring out what to do and getting over the controls, I found it quite a bit of to play this.

My two qualms are indeed the controls and the enemy ships being hard to chase due to them being so fast. Being able to play with keyboard or gamepad only would have been great instead of having to click the icons on the screen. Artificially making the enemy ships slower than the player's ship would have been nice too.

But, well, I know fully well how hard it is to make 3D games, nevermind in two weeks, so in that respect this is quite a good game. Add a fancy water shader, character animations, some piratey music and... Yeah, doing all that solo in such a short time is a really, really tall order, so what you have done is already a huge a achievement!

I ran out of time to get all of the keyboard and gamepad controls in,

and the player is actually faster than like for like boats.

So if you have the following ships:

Player Boat V, Enemy >Small DinghyLarge DinghySmall SailboatLarge SailboatSmall GalleonLarge Galleon
Small DinghyPlayer FasterSame SpeedPlayer SlowerPlayer SlowerPlayer SlowerPlayer Slower

Large SailboatPlayer Faster
Player FasterPlayer FasterPlayer FasterPlayer SlowerPlayer Slower
Small GalleonPlayer Faster
Player FasterPlayer FasterPlayer FasterPlayer FasterSame Speed
Large GalleonPlayer Faster
Player FasterPlayer FasterPlayer FasterPlayer FasterPlayer Faster

This was so that you could reach easier ships to build yourself up easier whilst keeping the difficulty curve for large ships reasonable, i.e. a sailboat shouldn't be able to catch a Galleon but a small sailboat should be able to catch a large sailboat

Oh, I see. Then it must have just been me not being good at predicting where the boats are going. And, well, maybe also getting antsy because of the urge to chase bigger boats than I should. 😅
