I think this game was really neat. The fighting was relatively simple, but the tension from the water made it very interesting. The levels were quite simple too, but again, the water and the setting made it make quite a lot of sense that it was like that.

I would perhaps have wanted at least the first level to have much slower water, at least in the beginning to give the player time to acquaint themselves and look at the surroundings without just thinking “is that the exit, where’s the exit” If the game actually tracks what the water level is when you climb each stairs and remembers it for the next, then there could be a special rule that just fast forwards the time so the game doesn’t become all to easy for those who just beeline to the ladder on the first level.

I think the difficulty worked out perfectly for me. A bit stressed there on the last blocking enemy before reaching the deck. The switch up with the boss fight was also really neat.

Yeah, I think I liked the game a lot.

Pretty fun!  I like the style and mood.  First playthrough was very hard, exploring everything, died after killing the beastie, couldn't find the gold key it mentioned (presumably hidden by the water on the deck) so died :(.  Second playthrough went super quickly and I had plenty of time and took what I have to assume was the "peaceful" ending (actually didn't kill anyone the whole way, which was fun).  Was the water height cumulative based on the timer, or did it reset after each floor?  I feel like I barely saw it after the first floor on my second playthrough and it would have been better with a little more tension (though, maybe I was just going rather fast).

Tension (and water) is rising! 

It was a fun game, I enjoyed playing it and the style of art was nice. I like the rising water too, which added to the tension of the game. 

Did not manage to find any gold but still got to the end and won with kraken saving the chicken. Good work on the game it was good one to play.

Nice!
I also made a system of water flooding in my submission. This is the first game I've tested that has implemented a similar idea.

I replayed the game a few times to see the different possible branching dialogues paths and endings.

One option I didn't manage to do was getting 100 gold coins to pay the ransom. I tried, but the water made it difficult to see the coins on the ground.

Arr, matey, 'tis a right rib-ticklin' and jolly game, says I! 

The pirate life be grand in this 'ere tale, though the sword-clashin' could use a bit more meat on its bones. 

What be finer than blastin' a cannonball at a cursed kraken, eh? 

Yo-ho-ho!

OMG. I loved this! This is the first game I've played this jam that had a sinking ship with a rising water level, I figured there would be tons and the premise is great. I love how the enemies asked you questions and you could be a smarts and then end up in combat or tell them what they want to hear and continue. Then cannons! Then a kraken fight! So good! It crashes for me right after defeating the Kraken when I get the key. I'll give it another try and see if I can get past that, maybe it was bad luck.

Sound effects made me laugh, art was really charming, scope was small and perfect. Really well done!

I managed to do it finally. I went too fast in the dialogues so missed that the kraaken was defeated and I needed to go on.

The graphics are great and the game is fun, but the timer is a bit daunting. Hard to mix panic mode with dialogs and exploring.

I really liked this!

The overall concept of the sinking ship was very well executed, and the artstyle is great, the music is good, and I dig the sense of humour. Oh and the ending sequence is fun, reminds me of the pirate level from Sly 3.

The only kinda quibble I have is barrels taking maybe a half second longer than they feel like they should to be destroyed. But that's such a minor point that I'm really just looking for ANY possible area the game can be improved.

Overall the game gives Monkey Island vibes which is awesome, I think we need more pirate dungeon crawlers!

Great work!

I had an incredible time with this entry! The writing had me cracking up and the game play was solid! I think one of the greatest compliments a jam game can receive is “I want more!” So… I want more!

I like the theming of this one! I included it in my compilation video series of all of the games from the Dungeon Crawler Jam.

Nice game! I drowned a lot, but luckily joined Captain Coders stream to watch his play-through. I love the graphics, the humor and music. Good job!

I enjoyed the first person real time style, and also quite liked the concept of having a boss moving around the scenario and having to chase it. It´s also good to have multiple options to choose during the "race" through the boat.
Nice music and quite original game!
Just felt a little buggy when moving around, maybe because being a browser based game.

This was a lot of fun. I like the incorporation of the sinking ship mechanic to give a sense of urgency getting through it all. I did switch to the easiest setting after some attempts to explore a bit and get enough money for another ending. If I'm playing more than once it must be pretty fun and it is! Graphics are good,  the kraken boss was pretty cool and having multiple options (violence vs no violence) made me want to keep playing. The movement is spot on and I might give it a go again on the hardest mode to see if I can get through it!

Got the chicken lets gooo! Awesome game, the kraken fight was epic! The rising water levels gives me anxiety in a good way. Talking your way out is definitely the way to get a speedy clear for me, and the dialogue is funny to boot!

Nice job! Most of the assets are really lovely! The main menu and cover image don’t communicate how nice to look at this game actually is!

I appreciated the difficulty options, I got to speed through the whole game on easy in 10mins I had to spare!

Nice job! Game was smooth and the dialog was funny and seeing the water rise was a feature I really liked.
