Gameplay is solid and the art - outstanding. Love what you've put together within such a small area of playspace.

Nice game. It was a very well made survival management type. I liked how it looked too. The control felt great but adding a jump would help with avoiding the object collision block I was running into.

I reviewed your game live at https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission, Thanks for coming and hanging out.
I'd be interested to see this fleshed out into a mobile game!

@stalemeat Thanks for the feedback! I tried to add a bit of challenge with items that block your path but apparently, it was kinda annoying.

At the beginning, I did'nt understood I could shoot at the birds. I guess there could be some kind of in-game hint about the controls? Everything else works just fine, graphics are really beautiful, and the game is straightforward and fun. Good job!

This was one of the most fun submissions I've played so far!

Things I liked:

- The art was cute and fit the game really well. Everything was super readable and easy to understand
- Although the music was a little repetitive, it was catchy and also fit the game well
- I like the amount of content you fit in with the crafting, islands, and shooting. It really feels like there is constantly stuff to do
- Hiding the guy in the hull of the ship was a great idea and gives you an added level of stress while you play
- There was lots of feedback that added to the overall gamefeel and made it a lot more fun to keep playing

Things that I think could be improved:

- I think the game should end if any single crew member dies. Once the guy in the hull died, I could keep the guy up top alive forever so the game became extremely easy
- This also makes the game not really fit the theme. Losing didn't feel inevitable because I could just keep one guy alive forever
- The boat tilting back and forth was a neat effect but after a while it was making me feel motion sick
- You should have separate controls for going up and down ladders (W and S or Up and Down arrow keys) because sometimes you want to pick something up but instead you go down a ladder, wasting time or killing you

Overall, really awesome job. I'm super impressed with the amount of different mechanics and the level of polish for a three day jam!

Cool game! Love the art and music fits well. I found it pretty difficult and was not sure how to get water for the crew besides the occasional island. Unfortunately the top UI was also cut off probably because im on ultra-wide. Overall enjoyed the game!

I like what you have going on here. Huge fan of the Straw Hat here so that really drew me in to play your game.

The art is really cozy and the mechanic of keeping everyone alive was balanced. I enjoyed having to keep those dofus alive.
