Anyway really like the simplicity of the controls and user interface, very clean and well designed. The art style is consistent and well designed. The wake behind the ship is also neat. Keep up the good work!"},{"author_name":"Mettra","author_uid":"31495","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 7:28am","epoch":1472541780,"text":"I like the art! But, the progress of the game is kinda steep.

This was not only our first Ludum Dare, but our first game. I've had a few stabs at making a game, but this is the first time I've actually sat down and finished one! Learned a helluva lot, and had a great time working with Sher Rill (an amazing artist.. hire her!)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The game was intended to be difficult. The goal isn't really laid out terribly well... but you're supposed to collect upgrades, get more canons and more ships to help you battle the tougher opponents... unfortunately we didn't explain that well..\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for playing :)"}],"images":["ld36\/113277-f74318ee09ea0d56e9f0af60bc0374b2.jpg","ld36\/113277-f45eb23849d0bf318f89380f94cba6d1.jpg","ld36\/113277-3ad289809c4a85d729234a3934090650.jpg","ld36\/113277-d7b4fc40e6ccc247791483bc0f6ffe84.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/AngryMonkeys\/No-Mans-Sea\/raw\/master\/nms.exe","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"830","g_author":"113277","g_event":"LD36","g_eventkey":"35","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"809","g_title":"No Man's Sea","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"3","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/113277-shot0-1472464780.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/113277-shot1-1472464780.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/113277-shot2-1472464780.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/113277-shot3-1472465623.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Kill pirates!
