Great game. Aiming works really well: projectiles go where I thought they would. Nice SFX for special pieces. Big thumbs up.

Cool game! The game has a unique style and none of the graphics clash. The soundtrack fits very well. The gameplay loop is fun, and being allowed to repair the boat after each level makes it feel like "your own" boat. Good job!

Very nice game, 5/5 for the theme! I think it should be a little bit more balanced thou. I end up losing half my ship at the first level and then it becames incredible hard to continue. Perhaps there should be a little more time between losing parts to the shark (when it hits you lose at least 3 parts) and an option to cancel throwing something would be nice.

Really Great Game. Mechanics Work Absolutely Beautiful :D.
but after level 15 the Game becomes impossible to lose because you get your whole ship back each round :P

It felt like I lost most my ship after the first level, but a thoroughly enjoyable little game! I really liked it

very tough but fun game, would be nice if you got more money at the end of each level, maybe just a couple more coins, would make it a lot more playable
