Pirate Scum by Diventurer
You're the navigator in a pirate crew. Try to collect as much treasure (gold) and beat your highscore, as possible under your beloved captain's strict orders!
A and D to rotate ship, and W to move forward. You can use S to weirdly go backwards. Press Space to shoot cannonballs from the left middle of the ship. Use this to destroy the village far west in the map, or destroy Navy ships. (Note: Navy ships can't be destroyed because of a bug...)
Known bugs:
#1 - when you destroy a Navy ship, the ship won't disappear.
#2 - there are some places where you can sail on land without ruining your ship.

(Windows 7 64bit)
I tried it with compatibility mode for windows xp and windows warned me, that program wants to change something on the harddrive. I accepted, but still it's not running.
Hope you didn't put a virus on my machine ;-)
I run Win7-64bit as well, so I don't know... Too bad, I guess :S
@Hapistorique
Thanks. I wanted to do more, but lack of time, you know. :/
I quickly made a highscore system and threw a bunch of treasure chests around just to actually have a game that at least has a point.
Ehh, of course not. (•_•)
Seriously though, I don't know what is wrong...
It should work perfectly on Win7-64bit.
I'll look into it.
Thank you! :D
I will take the controls critics as a compliement as well. :)
I wanted to just make it not possible to sail on land, but I could not get the math right, so I tried as well as I could to make land damage your ship. You're supposed to be able to get the treasure while on the ocean, but again - my math sucks. Sorry about that. Thanks for the feedback.
The slow controls are part of the game. I did not want it to be a fastpaced game. Also, if you read the comments, you'll see why you can sail on land. It is because I had problems with the angular collision, so if I'd make the collisions stop you, you'd stop on sea sometimes. But not you just get a little warning with health being reduced. I'm sorry you couldn't get into it. I personally find the exploration part of it intriguing. I wish I'd have time to make a bigger map.
Yeah - I'm going to make a new version of this game the way I originally wanted it to be like. Already busy with another project, but I'll work on this one at school starting January. :P
I'll also make ships faster, and just make a much bigger world instead. :)
Thanks. :)
