Arr, cap'n, welcome to bucketneers :anchor:

Y'all will need a matey to play this one, and a controller would be recommended

Bail water out to reload the gun or you'll be a dead fish, use the water gun to throw water at the enemy ship so it sinks faster.

Congrats for your game, it's really solid!

Looks really polished and fun to play. The art is great too.
Beautiful tutorial screen (loved those animated controls!).
The particles stand out a little appart from the pixel art. Squared ones could bring more cohesion.
I couldn't test the multiplayer but I think it could benefit from a little more depth.
The footsteps sound like someone banging on my door D:

Amazing job guys!! 6/5

Looks nice and looks fun, but requiring coop to play it it's a pity, I don't have anyone to play right now. I wish you had included a simple AI with the game.

For what I can see, the idea and the pixel art is amazing so kudos on that.

A good game for two players, with interesting mechanics. It would be interesting to have a way to play alone, maybe only to try to sink the other ship as fast as possible (which was what I did alone), but still, congratulations to the game!

Um bom jogo para dois jogadores, com uma mecânica interessante. Seria interessante ter uma forma de jogar sozinho, nem que fosse apenas tentar afundar o outro navio o mais rápido possível (que foi o que fiz jogando sozinho), mas ainda assim, parabéns pelo jogo!

Nice game! people you rocks! The graphics are so nice, also the mechanics. I've tried the game playing myself and I need to try the game against someone. Congrats!

Awesome take on the theme! At the beginning I tried to fill the cannon directly instead of going to the tank :sweat_smile:

I loved how polished it is, from the cute pixel-art graphics to the music and sound effects. It would be cool to have a "vs CPU" mode, this has a lot of potential (for example, I imagine different levels with some more crazy stuff going around).

Great entry, congrats!

Totally cute game. Love the art and sound effects. I could see this being super fun on mobile (losing the directional control and just tapping to decide where to go). Nice job.

Hah! I like how The more you have, the worse it is but the better it kinda gets...

I liked the multitasking aspect of the game. It really reminds me of the game No Heroes Here. Your game is an interesting tug o war game but I do wish there was just 1 more option in the game so that it wasn't just a straight forward bilge and shoot and who can do it better. The polish is awesome though. Music is immersive, the art is solid and you put a ton of really small details into it too like the translucent looking ocean objects.

Pretty good game! :D It's nice to see some local multiplayer game too! Love the graphics and the use of the theme! Super nice as well to have this intro screen to explain the game :) The sound effects set a nice mood too, it fits good all together! I can see a more complete game out of that, with like some events happening ingame, some other gamemodes etc.. :D

You got a very nice package there. I'm impressed how you guys were able to have a so polished game in such a short time. It fits the theme well, graphics and sound work together and it's super duper fun!

Very great game. Fun to play and with nice pixel-art and sound. Solid work and with good possibilities to make a full game from it.

Enjoyable, popping art and fluid intuitive gameplay. I'm not sure about the depth here (no pun intended), but it seems just using the cannon constantly is the only viable strat?

Good job!

What a great game, guys! I really liked it: funny, simple, cute art & audio. Very good for a jam. I would add some other options to attack your opponent or maybe powerups. Also the particles didn't convince me (didn't exactly match rest of the art), but probably with more time you could have achieved great effects.

PS: I honestly encourage you to continue its development, with more levels and options. I believe it has potential ;)
