The controls are snappy ,even though i expected mouse pointer to steer firstly.
Otherwise solid game.
1. The sailboats will just randomly change into pirate ships and back, there's no way to tell when it's going to happen. Incredibly frustrating to be JUST about to get a pirate ship and then have it change back into a sailboat.
2. Restarting the game is annoying as hell: I HAVE to use the mouse, I have to press TWO buttons, and the buttons are not in the same place. Ideally in a game like this you can just press spacebar to restart.
On the negative side, the difficulty is way too high and I never lasted more than ~30s. It was not very clear what were pirate ships in the beginning too. The first time I hit one, I died.
