The High Seas by someone
The governor is fed up with all the piracy and has dispatched the navy to resolve the problem.
You are a pirate escaping from the state into the open waters to the west, but why not make a little money as we go.
The ship's hold can only contain so much though, so make good use of it.
- Trade goods can be bought and sold
- Additional crew improves the speed, handling and cannon reload rates
- Food is required to not starve
- Gunpowder is needed to fire your cannons
- Cannons are needed to fire at juicy looking merchants to relieve them of their goods
- With all that we must still find room for the actual treasure.
Feel free to jettison anything we don't need.
W A S D or mouse click to move.
Space to fire cannons if you have any.
M toggles the map.
I toggles your inventory.
Drag items out of your inventory to jettison them.
You can right click on items to quick trade.
The goal is to get to the far right of the map with as much treasure as possible. Post your score!
Completely unbalanced and controls horribly. Have fun.
Working on the post jam version if anyone is interested. It has textures, particles and fixes a ton of bugs.
Seems the web version runs way too fast if you have a better computer than I do. The downloaded versions are fine though.

Why can't I rate this game?
I did intend right click to shoot - seems I forgot to implement it though. It would also need map and inventory buttons to be fully playable with just the mouse.
I can see a lot of work here.
congrats, it's a very nice jam game!
The execution could use some improvements:
- Some feedback on damage taking/dealing would be great (even simple flashing would go a long way).
- The ship seemed impossible to control with the mouse click. I think just sticking with WASD would be enough.
- Days pass waaay too quickly and as such, the crew starves quite easily.
- I think that it would be better if the game paused while you are trading in port. At the moment, you can be attacked at any time. And those merchants seem most eager to sink you :laughing:. I died not once while trying to look through port inventory, and that didn't feel fun. But maybe it's just me.
Nice jamming :smile:
Nevertheless, a complex piece of work that actually...ehm... works!
