You have heard it before: pirates are on their way on the sea and are attacked by an octopus.

But have you ever wondered what the octopus is actually doing? What if he only wanted to deliver rum and the evil pirates were stealing his barrels?

Your task is to ship the rum without the pirates destroying your boat or you falling poor and not being able to afford any more shipments. Defend yourself with the cannons and buy repair kits or get more rum in the harbor store.

Controls:

Navigation - WASD

Shoot starboard (right) - L

Shoot port (left) - J

Harbor store - E (local)

This game has a really nice graphics and atmosphere. The carribbean vibe is on spot. The only thing that was a bit hard to get into were the controls. It was kind of hard to navigate the ship, but other than that, very pretty and fun game. I loved the shooting mechanic :)

Looks very fun tho unfortunately like someone else said it doesnt register mouse clicks so I couldn't use the shop. Also movement of the boat is very slow. I saw there are upgrades for the speed but again shop didnt work. Visuals and music were very nice tho!Reminded me a bit of Sid Meier's pirates

I like the game, the only problem I had was the time it took to go left or right, so it was hard to manouvre. This made the seafights a bit less fun because it was very hard to hit the opponent. Other than that it was a pretty fun game, well done!

Yarrr, it's a super fun idea and the octopus on the boat is hilarous. I ran into a few problems though:

- like some people already mentioned above, I also could not click to buy stuff and upgrades
- some pirates were spawning in an on top of mountains
- the movement of the boat without updates is slow, but not too slow, considering its a ship, but the reverse is a bit weird and I had some situations where I and the pirates "moonwalked" around each other in circles.
- the gun are fun to shoot, but are on a random cooldown (literally)? Which seems to reset when you press the button, even though you didn't fire again

I still really enjoyed the vibe and drove around the map to explore and sink some ships. If you manage to fix the clicking issues, I would also give it another shot... (at the pirates) ;)
