Get Rich or Sink by Time Loop

There's a hole in your ship, and you have to save up for a new one. But the more gold you loot, the faster it sinks. How will you deal with that?
WASD - control boat; SHIFT - pick up gold; LMB - shoot.

@moonlightbomber boatwaifus are my weakness
As others had mentioned the boat controls are a little difficult.
But the feel of being a sailor is certainly there. The music and characters works well.
Would have like to have seen some more islands out at sea.
Good mood.
I think it could quickly become a lot more fun to play for extended periods of time.
Either that or you could play around with different ways to handle the ships sinking speed, maybe add more areas where you can buy/sell things to get lighter or something.
But still, the game feels great, and I really like the setting, good job.
A very original idea.
- Graphics are nice, especially the characters and the boats.
- The introduction is really funny.
- Music is sympathetic but quite repetitive on the long run.
- The boat has the same controls as a car with very bad adherence. At one point I nearly spent 20 seconds going in circle around a chest. Most people don't think that a boat can go in reverse so it might help to remove the ability to go backward. (still "Astern propulsion" seems to be a thing, I discovered that 5 minutes ago, link below)
Globally this was pleasant to play though the level design don't encourage you to explore. With more polish it could be really enjoyable :D
