I think if you put some more time into this after the jam, it will turn into something really great! Well done!\n\nMy only concern was the controls were a bit floaty, hard to turn.

I LOVE this idea.\n\nUnfortunately I found it really difficult to steer the train (ship?).  Especially once I sunk the second ship and my train extended a ridiculous length.  It just got harder and harder to control.  \n\nI loved the graphics and the overall feel of the game.  I just wish I had some more control over what was happening.  Nicely done!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"kleinzach","author_uid":"1001866","time":"2018-04-25T02:35:53Z","epoch":1524623753,"modified":1524623753,"text":"Great concept, very original and strange. I love the way you handled the visuals. I wish there was some more reason to keep going, but I enjoyed it quire a bit. Also, it felt like enemy boat-trains should be firing at me. They rammed but that didn't seem to do much.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"kromeboy","author_uid":"1033529","time":"2018-04-25T02:38:26Z","epoch":1524623906,"modified":1524623906,"text":"That's a funny idea and a potentially great mechanic for a variation on the ship combat genre.

It doesnt fall to far from a pirate ship battle simulator. The graphics looks great!\nI missed a soundtrack... western-pirate is sure a hard combination to nail but could be EPIC!\nNice work!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"sohakes","author_uid":"1017508","time":"2018-04-25T02:43:33Z","epoch":1524624213,"modified":1524624213,"text":"I liked it, it's a very creative idea. It could work on those .io games, too, with many ships and you stealing their cargos (that shoot). I think the controls were a little unresponsive, it didn't seem to turn sometimes, not sure if I was doing something wrong.

The stylized graphics & ocean audio really add to the vibe. I like the idea but in practice maneuvering the ship was pretty difficult and a bit frustrating. The controls took a few minutes to get used to, and I wasn't sure why my cars after the first one wouldn't fire? Was there any point to picking up more cars? The difficulty was a bit all over the place too, the first ship I encountered completely crushed me then the next couple conveniently rammed themselves into my shooting car and sealed their fate :P Still pretty cool, nice work!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Bodaciouslycrazy","author_uid":"1076660","time":"2018-04-25T03:22:15Z","epoch":1524626535,"modified":1524626535,"text":"Simple and fun! The graphics are super neat too. The reflections off the water are a nice touch.\nI do have some criticisms though.\nFirst off, the physics can interfere with the controls. If you are hauling a large number of cars and you try to turn, the physics will try to resist you turning.\nSecond, The gameplay is just a tad slow. I realize ship games are normally slow, but the slow pace made me lose interest quickly.\nLastly, STICKY KEYS. This is not a real complaint, but I found myself tapping shift a lot, and it kept trying to turn on sticky keys. ghaliroughaelighueg\nStill, well done! :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"hadesfury","author_uid":"1002246","time":"2018-04-30T11:34:03Z","epoch":1525088043,"modified":1525088043,"text":"Really good game .. perhaps need a little bit more indicator .. good job","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"bitsandcrafts","author_uid":"1033067","time":"2018-05-01T14:13:50Z","epoch":1525184030,"modified":1525184030,"text":"yarrr!
