Some more sound effects would have been nice and probably not too difficult to add; there were multiple times where I wasn't sure whether a cannonball was hitting a turret so having some audio confirmation for that would have been good. This could also have been helped by moving the health bars to appear onscreen.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>In terms of controls, turning was frustratingly slow. There were multiple times where I couldn't commandeer a boat before it sank despite being right next to it, since I had to turn to face it before going forward. However, I did really enjoy the commandeering mechanic and different ship types, and I feel like that could be the basis of a really good game. Also, the enemy ship AI felt well-implemented and the battles were engaging, slow turning notwithstanding.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, I had a lot of fun playing this, good job!"},{"author_name":"Spaghetti and Meatball","author_uid":"20709","time":"Sep 1, 2016 @ 4:39am","epoch":1472704440,"text":"I've always loved boat games, and have wanted to make one for a while. Nicely done, I loved the different boats and such, and it was cool that you healed by taking other ships :P Just a couple notes: turning was painful, you really need to up the speed on that, and the sound effects were absurdly loud! I had to turn my volume down to 5% and I was still wincing every time I shot. The first time I fired the cannons it was like a jumpscare, I nearly fell out of me seat XD"},{"author_name":"tmpxyz","author_uid":"39382","time":"Sep 1, 2016 @ 6:43am","epoch":1472711880,"text":"The sea graphics effect looks nice."},{"author_name":"JK5000","author_uid":"50889","time":"Sep 1, 2016 @ 7:14am","epoch":1472713740,"text":"The idea is super great, and the game clearly inspired by the game &quot;Pirates&quot;.
