Controlling both boats at the same time really confused me. So much that I even forgot to share the game screen on the stream for a while.. hehe\n\nThis game perfectly fit the theme: a very very small world! And you have to fight to stay on it. The music is also awesome and add a lot to the ambience!\n\nI would have love a single player version too, but I understand it would have been hard to code an AI for one of the boats in the limited timeframe of LD.\n\n(You can see me playing this game for the first time on the vod https:\/\/youtu.be\/34z-nBWKdEw?t=1h30m9s )","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Lars DK","author_uid":"1010164","time":"2017-04-29T03:14:39Z","epoch":1493435679,"modified":1493435679,"text":"I played the WebGL version both solo and with a friend.\n\nSo I think it's clear the music is a winner here. I like the \"arr\" sound effects as well. The graphics are cute if a little simple, and the physics works well (although what's up with cannonballs \"jumping\" on water lol?). The concept is brilliant and everything is really clear.\n\nThree points of potential feedback because I'm mean:\n1. This is tough to play even two-player on a cramped keyboard, especially with the very strong current. This made stalemates inevitable because sailing to shoot your opponent typically makes you lose too. I feel like if the current was weaker, cannonballs would make more difference to who wins or loses. One of my ships got stuck on its side and couldn't sail anymore XD.\n2. I couldn't test if you had gamepad support but if you do, that would resolve another part of the issue.\n3. I hate criticising anything about art, so this is picking at straws, but I do feel like the water could have been more than a blue plane. I mean, I get this is supposed to be a jam and that your art style wasn't terribly focused on shading things realistically, but come on, you have an island with cool palm trees and particle effects around the sides, lighting etc etc ... a little more detail in the water itself would be nice, even if just a moving texture.\n\nAll that being said I really enjoyed it and am sure it will score well for fun. Simple, beautiful idea, for the most part really well-executed. I'm a fan.","likes":5,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"JoyFired","author_uid":"1012830","time":"2017-04-29T22:26:57Z","epoch":1493504817,"modified":1493504817,"text":"Really nice concept, and (as mentioned by @lars-dk) for me the strong point was sound. The sweet sweet sound of aarararars was pretty fun to listen to. As for gameplay, I really wish that the ships had more momentum or mass to them, as crashes don't really seem to have too much of an effect on the other ship for me.

One might say it is funny to see a ship going directly to the abyss because of that mistake I don't know :)\nHo and nice use of the theme. The water pushing the ships toward the border and the water falling are the best part.

It's great that you made a local multiplayer game, something that I wish there was more of in both gamejams and on the general game market. The idea is very innovative, its fun to play in the \"sumo wrestling\" style and it is a perfect concept for a party game. I imagine this could get quite popular if you continued development, I imagine a lot of powerups and other partyesc features. It's a great feature that the water is flowing off the world and that you are pulled out coninually, it makes it feel \"scary\" and \"urgent\" and just adds a ton of fun.\n\nVisually think it looks very nice as well, everything is very coherent and feels good.\n\nGreat job fellow pirates, lets teach those landlubbers what we are made of!
