Kinda procrastinating working hehe.. But great game! Funny dialogs and a few routes to go down. I especialy liked the "Power of friendship" one, you could even say friend SHIP!

Nice and simple, I enjoyed the funny dialogue, too! Some sound effects would have been the icing on the cake!

Simple and had a solid vibe. Although it might have been nice to add some audio of sounds of the sea. Great work, and be proud of completing a game in one weekend! Cheers!

Always cool to see Twine games. This is a great one. Really good writing: simple, to the point, funny and, surprisingly, packs a bit of pathos as well. Like, I expected this to just be a gag game, but it's actually a nice little tone piece. The last page/lines really put a sweet, melancholy bow on it.

A short but very complete story! The options can be funny at times, and the system of being able to go back and make new choices is pretty cool for a JAM game. Congratulations!

I liked the many dialogue options, found it really funny haha. I love it LOL. I lost it at the balanced diet part and explored every dialogue option. A short but great entry nonetheless!

This was great! It fitted the theme absolutely perfectly and I loved it, haha. It was really funny, and surprisingly engaging. The return button was also really kind of you :) I used it to explore all possibilities, which was a lot of fun :D

The first mate is a hater.

In all seriousness, this is a short, but fun experience. The dialogue options are all charming and tend to have something funny in them. Above all, it leaves before it starts to get grating or monotonous.

Nice job.

Great writing, really thankful for the back button. Very reminiscent of keeping your fingers on the previos page of a choose your own adventure book. Would have loved more content.

It is always refreshing to see text based games in jams. They are an artform of their own.

I liked the writing on this one and it was also pleasant to see that you used some effects for the text. Those really help to set the mood in these types of games.

The cover art is gorgeous by the way! I wish there was more of it in the game too (between the text parts possibly).

Short and sweet, and excessively funny writing. The comedy in the responses was fantastic, and I do truly wish the pirates had managed to patch the hole with the power of friendship. Great job! Love a good text adventure

Cute little game! Quite funny dialogue. I remember your last entry, love your sense of humour! It's always nice to see some different experience at LD.

Also, did you make the cover art? Would love to see a game in that style if so, it's lovely.

Nice work!

"That was exactly the type of health and safety measure that you objected to, and which drove you to piracy." Hah! Nice social commentary. B-)

I enjoyed the humor. It was a quick game, and I found I explored each branch too soon, but I enjoyed it all the same.

I was waiting for a visual novel, due to the image in the description. Nevertheless, I had so much fun playing the game, I liked its humour. Nice job!
