ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ 5 Star audio for you guys singing so well.

PIRATE MUSIC!
PIRATE MUSIC!!!
I honestly enjoy just sitting at the menu screen more than playing the game. That's not because the game is bad, but because the menu is just so much fun.

One of few games to use a story (and to voice-act it, too!). You guys did up the humor category for sure.

Things that look/sound good: picking up treasure, the camera's view of the ship (nice to see it tilt when the ship's at the left and right), and, of course, the intro music.

That sound at game over... is that one of those springs that keeps your door from hitting a wall?

@kirill-venzhin - I had trouble loading the web build until I disabled my ad-blocker and reloaded the page. Just FYI for your game description, @iamsodarncool and company.

This was very cool! The first cutscene wetted my appetite for an epic adventure, and then it dumps me in this schmup-like ship collecting treasures and dodging wrecks. The gameplay felt very bland, but the story was inttriguing.

Oh and the voice acting! Who could forget that? That was the best part! The rare voice acting on the menu screen was absolutely hilarious and the cutscene VA was pure gold. Whoever did that you are a star.

Thank you! We had so much fun making the title screen music :D

> PIRATE MUSIC! PIRATE MUSIC!!! I honestly enjoy just sitting at the menu screen more than playing the game. That’s not because the game is bad, but because the menu is just so much fun.

Agreed! I love the main menu. I did the code for the jumping pirates, and testing it took 10x longer than it should have because I would just watch and laugh for a minute each time.

Thank you. We were very lucky to have @arreis (writing), @naefir (voice acting), and @brookelikestodraw (cutscene art) on the team. The story is awesome and a nice reward for beating levels.

> That sound at game over… is that one of those springs that keeps your door from hitting a wall?

Yes it is! There's also SFX from a hand pump and a kitchen sink in the game. We got creative with it.

> Just FYI for your game description, @iamsodarncool and company.

Thank you, I've added it to the game description.
I really appreciate you playing our game and the detailed feedback! Thank you, sincerely.

As the guy who programmed the gameplay, I agree. It's... not great and it definitely doesn't live up to the epic adventure promised by the cutscenes.

Credit to @naefir. What a talented guy :)

**To everybody pinged in this comment: Thank you so much for playing our game and for leaving feedback!** Sincerely. We appreciate it.

Very good art and audio, the dialogue and voice acting was funny.

The gameplay was pretty fun, a bit too difficult. I would have preferred slightly slower gameplay with some more tactical elements, like a health bar instead of instant death, different shot types(it was annoying not being able to shoot the enemies that came at you from the side).

@avon Agreed that the gameplay could use polishing. An important lesson I learned this LD is that you'll be better at your own game than the average player simply by virtue of having tested it a lot, and thus your perception of the difficulty will be skewed.

Thanks for playing the game and the detailed feedback!

Very good game. Straight forward and simplistic. Easy to figure out.
Extra points for the awesome pirate song / music at the beginning xD
the AAA quality voice acting is incredible ;D loved it.
Well done overall, really cool

omg i love the start screen so much!!
i'm not good at games like these to begin with, but it was fun nonetheless!
it was nice finding a game that actually has a plot and some nice dialogue to it

update: oh my god this game is so hard, made it to level four. i just want to see the cutscene at the end of the game but i keep dying AH

@nonstoppotato thank you! The game is incredibly hard, yes. My biggest regret of this LD is making it as challenging as it is. But MAN it is satisfying to finally beat a level, isn't it? :)

I believe in you. The end cutscene will be worth it! Thank you for playing our game.

The game is incredibly hard, even though straight forward - it is incredibly hard to beat. I didn't make it through the game.

The voice acting and music was very good, actually this is the first game I've seen this time around with voice acting so far. Good job!

Keep up the good work!

The intro was very good, the acting an voices are well done. There is humor too, that's nice. The game itself hasn't a new concept but it's well done. The graphics are good. The controls could be better, though. Nice job, anyway.

Fun and round. Good job for the limited time.

5 star audio with no doubt for the main menu song and superb voice acting :heart: The game is fun but extremely difficult. We're enjoying it, so we'll keep trying on the next few days (thanks to the savedata feature), but I don't think we will ever manage to beat it.

Anyway, well done. We as players can perfectly see that you had lots of fun making this game, so playing it feels really good. Main Menu -> Tune Yer Game -> Mute = NEVERRRRRR hahahahaha Best options menu ever :joy:

Finally, we'd like to thank you for your comment on our entry, it really touched us. The emotion sequence you described is exactly what we intended with our game. It is great for us to see that someone has gone through the experience just as we would like. So thank you again, for playing and for sharing your thoughts :)

In what way?

@naca

> 5 star audio with no doubt for the main menu song and superb voice acting heart

Thank you :) we're very proud of the audio on this one.

> The game is fun but extremely difficult.

Indeed. My biggest regret of this LD is how hard I made the game.

> I don’t think we will ever manage to beat it.

To my knowledge, no human ever has. A couple of my IRL friends are very determined, though, so that may change soon...

> We as players can perfectly see that you had lots of fun making this game, so playing it feels really good.

That's exactly what we were going for! Glad our joy rubbed off.

> Finally, we’d like to thank you for your comment on our entry, it really touched us.

Cheers. And right back at you. I'm so pleased you like our game!

@iamsodarncool So no one has gone through the entire game yet... wow, that's pretty hard :D Can you tell us at least how many levels are there?

@naca there are five levels. I am at least 80% sure they are all possible :)

Enjoyed graphics, storytelling and voiceover! Second level was too hard for me, I think the ship should have more than 1 HP!
