The game totally crashed when I tried to quit it after finishing, apart from that...
WHOA, that was awesome! Graphics are cute, humor is great, I laughed so hard at the end. A bit short, but who cares.
Sound and controls are nice too!
Extra points for doing a native Mac build ;)

Couldn't get the Linux version to even recognize the downloaded file as a ZIP file, much less extract it.

It goes incredibly slow. Took 3 minutes to get to "Hello tiny pirate!"

@Suese so the game will last you at least 30min!!

it may come from several point =
first it's coding using processing wich is by it's own not that fast,
second I code only for fun and learned by my own and so I do a lot of stupid redondant things that slow down everything more than ever !
third it may not work on a C64
:)
I'm kidding but sorry if it don't run well on your machine, thank you, you had the courage to wait for 3 minutes to see the boat arriving!
Your game is really great by the way while a bit slow :)

OH MAN this is beautiful. The sound is superb as well. Too bad it only lasts like a minute and a half, though. Decided to jump to this game based on your excellent post mortem.

Lol. This game had an awesome feel about it. I was all set to go on an epic adventure when the game ended incredibly abruptly (most unexpected ending ever!). Nice mood - it left me wanting more!

I actually laughed out loud in the ending, and for quite a while. Very original art style!

After laughing my way through killer carrots and other sundry evils... I laughed more. Thank you for the moments of entertainment.

I liked the art style. It was interesting to read your post-mortem on how you accomplished it.

The music was nice. The sounds were nice.

The dialog was very amusing and brief enough to be read even in the attention span of an LD game ranker!

Good work! I enjoyed your humor.

lol. very good for how short it is- the shortness actually adds to the humor i think! thumbs up on the art, music, fighting mechanic, and dialog.

Is it possible to lose this game? After fighting a few monsters the health bar looked like it had gone negative. Also the island shrank down to less than the size of pixel - i.e. it was completely invisible - some time before the game ended.

Lol at the abrupt ending XD
This game has potential though, I like the graphics style and sfx, sets a nice mood.

Not much to add beyond what's already been said. I appreciated the humor and the ending. :)

Maybe the best (intentional) laugh I've had from all the entries so far. xD

But I love the art style you have going here -- you should finish this!

It lags A LOT on my computer, I don't know why. I love the graphics, and I really would like to play the finished game

Awesome graphics, I like how it is so simple yet you did not resort to pixel graphics!


About the King... that really surprised me!!

Great, funny, unexpected ending. I tried to lose, and the island got smaller and smaller, but I guess the pirate was bluffing with the whole bottle thing.

Really random and very short, but fun nonetheless!
