The shooting mechanics grew on me very quickly, theres definitely a lot of room for skill with the sideways cannon pirate shooting, more than youd expect
great entry!
Good work!
@bloodfin @torban Thank ye fer yer kind words. I be glad ye had fun.
@pianoman373 An audio bug? Shiver me timbers! Sorry to 'ave missed that scallywag. Yer advice be much appreciated.
@kymakesgames Aye, the price ye paid was a dear one. But ye kept goin', so well done. I salute yer shivered timbers 'n yer flaggin' graphics card.
@t-c Yar! A whirlin' death machine indeed. I be glad ye enjoyed yer wheel o' destruction 'n I hope yer hand survived as well.
Good job MATE!
Had some audio issues when shooting too much.
Cool water reflection as well!
I like the upgrades. It was satisfying to rip through all those ships like an ultimate killing machine :) After 15 minutes of playing I was so overpowerd I didn't even need more "Faster reload" because I couldn't click faster :D
I also like the music and ship model.
@diego-teran Sorry fer the audio issues but I be glad ye got yer cannons.
@coldays Pullin' in loot would 'ave been an excellent idea 'n holdin' down the mouse button be a clear improvement. I be glad ye enjoyed even wit' its flaws.
@owca 'tis mighty satisfyin' to see yer enemy's sails sink beneath the waves. I be glad yer harvest was bountiful. Thank ye kindly fer yer compliments.
The ramp up to challenging is a little slow and I feel like I could laze about for a while.
Does it ramp up off purchased upgrades? or time? I couldnt exactly tell, but didnt try to test it out much.
Ended up lasting about 5 min.
It was a fun event when i happened to shoot a treasure chest and it got lobbed into the air. Nice touch here.
The pirate language in the menus is great and it feeds into theme well. The gameplay is a tried-and-true loop. I liked the cannon upgrades, it was a nice twist from just adding more cannons on either side. The enemy AI was a bit too easy, at least for me? I felt like I would've been more engaged with harder gameplay.
Overall, very solid entry! Well done
I found the turning speed of the boat, while it worked well for the gameplay once there were a lot of enemies, to be a bit jarring in the beginning. To me it felt less like piloting a ship and more like turning a knob.
The music and overall theming of your game was great, the pirate vibe really came through. Overall a very cool game, with a bit more to it I could see myself playing this one a lot. Well done!
p.s. Why does hitting escape end my game? I just wanted to pause and tab out of the game.
