Neet entry. I like how you introduced different obstacles and surprises with each level. I think you maybe gave the player too much health, at some point the only real punishment for hitting obstacles was the way it slowed down your ship. I just managed to tank a lot of the damage. Congrats on getting in four levels as well.
Loved the sinking animation here, and the sound effects + map when you’ve secured a site. I kind of wish the rocks represented real badlands of the various waterways, but I know that’d be a big ask in the time allotted. The speed seemed to ebb and flow a little bit, but the threat remained engaging. Thanks for sharing!
A quiet passage straight to a certain destination!
I liked watching the ripple trails left by the ship.
Raising the difficulty of the voyage, as well as adjusting how long it takes to move the ship/reach the destination, would be some really nice ways to boost the overall quality of fun while playing the game.
It’s a great effort towards making your first jam game! Congrats on making it to the finish line, and thank you for making this entry! P.S. That aside, We don’t actually allow extensive AI usage on our jam -and we consider using it to generate code to toe that line, but not cross it, depending on the extent.
We are sending 1st time warnings to your team members to be careful of that for future jams. This infraction has been noted, and if this happens again, you/your team members will risk a ban for the jam.
Interesting way to incorporate Viking seafaring into a game! I wish there were more elements specific to Viking culture and history, but the game was fun nonetheless.
There was a bug on the last level where it let me breach onto land and keep sailing.
I liked that steering the ship was slow! The HP threshold made this game pretty easy, and there were a couple of bugs like being able to steer through the beach, but overall a fantastic job!
