Bermuda Night Fever by Drat

[raw]
made by Drat for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

A random pirate is living his random pirate’s life. Dueling his crew, drinking rum and avoiding the hold’s holes. But it seems that today his peaceful stable life comes to an end…

Holes appear in the kitchen, pirates defies you in the hold, rum in the deck, electro music ???

Pretty fun little game! One thing I would say is that I didn't really see a lot of the theme here, but otherwise solid and pretty engaging.

agree with @firebelley that the theme part isn't really strong, but i really loved the design and execution

I really liked the music!

The gameplay itself was quite engrossing too, I like the instant switches between stages, since it keeps you on your toes, though sometimes I would just step right into a hole after the stage switched. My only criticism is that it was a bit hard to understand how to aim, and the bullets were way too small. Other than that, great job!

I already thought it was a fun idea switching between mini games (like warioware, as mentioned above), but then the music started to pump up, rooms got mashed up and lights went out.. amazing! Great job on this game!

Damn, that music track is banging.

I enjoyed the frantic action in this game!

There's a few people here I agree with, like @raerex because of how similar this is to WarioWare, @jabsatz because I DID fall into a hole immediately as that particular minigame occurred, and @firebelley because the theme implementation doesn't really seem too strong.

Shooting enemies is a little awkward, however. I would've preferred to just use the mouse to aim at enemies, rather than move in the direction I wanna shoot. It also appears that my monitor resolution is too small for this game, and I'm guessing that's why I couldn't exit the options screen and had to Alt+F4 the application (though I went back and realized that the return button was just below my screen). Seeing what the controls are also would've been great.

But the gameplay is simple, intuitive, and it gets more complicated as you continue on. The artwork looks pretty good, and the music is great as well! And for some reason, I find that death howl to be hilarious.

In all, I think you all did a pretty good job with this entry!
