Ye Only Get One Aye by TaleLore
You are the pirate Captain's trusty pirate parrot. The Captain's rival, Captain Windybottom, has blown all of the treasure off of the Captain's ship. As you fly out to collect the Captain's treasure before it sinks into the sea, Captain Windybottom is inpersonating the captain, trying to confuse you. Don't respond to any of his commands. Make sure you still respond to the Captain's commands, however.
-The left and right arrow keys control your movement
-The up arrow key will flap your wings
-Space will make you say "aye aye, Captain", but beware: you may only do so once!
-The Captain's treasure will be blown into the ocean unless you collect it. He might not notice one or two pieces gone, but if you lose three or more you lose.
-The Captain and his impersonator, Captain Windybottom, will both be yelling commands at you. If a command sounds like something the Captain, a real pirate, would say, respond with "aye aye, Captain".
-Do not respond to Captain Windybottom or else you lose!

Gameplay is a bit repetitive after a very short while. For some reason no matter when I tried to say "aye aye" I lost, but when I didn't say "aye aye" nothing ever happened.
Yo, Ho, Ho! Merry Christmas! XD
Regarding the gameplay, it took me a while to realize that all the items were treasure (I though I was supposed to dodge the debris/swords/hooks and catch the gold) but once I understood, it was quite manageable.
