Nice game! like the aesthetic!
But would suggest he just auto swings the hammer, and not having to press mouse button. also would be cool if he could drown if he is under water for too long!

Super cute game! The music makes it. Admittedly took me a minute to figure out what was going on - the leaks took a sec to start. Once I caught on though, I loved that you can see the hole appear before the water starts leaking in. Some of the holes didn't seem to be reachable though? Not sure if that was a design choice to ensure the ship sinks. Only other improvements I would suggest are, if you opt to jump overboard, a different message be displayed than 'yurr sunken' and making it such that your character can't be under water too long (i.e. some sort of counter to tell the user 'hey you're running out of air' - overall though love the concept and the story :)

Very fun game! It has a solid concept and the core gameplay is really enjoyable. The only criticisms I have are that the platforming is a little floaty and it can be hard to get around. I also agree with the other commenters that having a drowning meter may add a bit of fun challenge, if you choose to expand on the concept.

Simple but nice concept, and overall good visuals

Since the character moves and jump very fast, a smoother camera would be a great improvement to prevent brutal translation that hurts the eyes
