A charming game, very simple and straightforward.
It surprises you by the clever use of 2D physics for the water, it certainly does get unstable!

The game looks really nice!
But I lost pretty fast every time. Water just shoots up on top of the ship and its game over. Im not sure how to really avoid that from happening.
Good job tho, nailed the theme!

Nice little physics game, some sort of metric/high score to try and beat would be nice

Love the graphics. While the fluid simulator will not win whatever yearly award they give to fluid simulators, I was thrilled that you managed to implement some sort of it.
I won on third or fourth try, but the way it ended is pretty much with there being only one viable position for cannons, and I spent three quarters of remaining time just spamming E button at the water pump. But I know it's hard to find time to fine-tune such game. Lovely entry!

cool graphics, very charming. I also love the player sprite, he looks very stressed. 10/10 would play again!

Very nice the idea of an boat about to submerge if you didn't take out the water inside of it, and how the physics and the balance was made it is great as well, good and funny game : )

It's a small fun game with a good idea, could also work very well as a multiplayer game with a bit more complex ship (though would have been pretty hard to do in a jam). The pirate sprite and animations are quite funny too. But the difficulty feels a bit too random, and some score system or a metric like time remaining is missing too as I didn't know if there was an end or not until reaching it.

I don't think i'm suited to a life at sea. Pretty hard. I enjoyed the physics, and the concept is excellent! Being below decks and keeping something afloat, and functioning appeals to me. The wind sound effects, were atmospheric. The waves were terrifying! ​

really fun and interesting! once again i dont have much to complain about
the graphics could use some work and the water explosions are a bit over the top but thats just me being picky
