Ranked from 24 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

Did your team create most/all of the graphics yourselves?
Yes, we have a 2D artist and a 3D artist. We rasterized the 3D models to work as pngs :)

Did your team create most of/all the audio yourselves?
Yes! Calvin did all the SFX and Music in-house!

How did you incorporate the theme "PATCH IT UP"?
The premise is you're a pirate aboard a ship that needs a million things fixed. There's a rat infestation, the rum has gone missing, the sail is down, theres a pirate overboard and countless other things! So many things wrong that you must PATCH UP :)

I really enjoyed this game, and i like the concept of a mini game journey where you have to complete many different tasks. Some of the games were hard to play being on my laptop right now, but i was still able to complete them all. ^^

The amount of content made here in such a short span is insane. This definitely had a lot of love put into this. I'll even go out of my way to rank all the minigames. 

1. Repel The Invaders!

2. Shark Terror!

3. Pest Control!

4. Spot The Scallywag

5. Sail Raise!

6. Anchor Plunge!

7. Shark Bait!

8. Narrow Waters!

9. 3 Rum Monte!

10. Cranium! 

11. Where's The Rum?! 


I noticed some issues like the music not always starting when the game opens and just some of the games feeling really clunky, really unfair at points, or really unrelated the game jam theme. Other than that, phenomenal game everyone!

Wow! I’m in awe of what you achieved for this jam. This feels like a full-fledged game. It was incredibly fun, challenging, and rewarding to play. I would love a multiplayer mode so I could play it with my niece. I’d also want the option to turn off the ‘red juice’ in the rat mini game when playing with her. Funny enough, I don’t mind the alcohol references or feeding the fish with a guy, but the red juice gave me pause. Maybe that just means it’s not really a kids game, or maybe I’m being too particular.

Either way, I had an absolute blast and can see this becoming a super fun party game. If the controls were expanded to include gamepad support, I’d love to put it on the TV and play with my family. I can also see it working really well on iPad with touch controls.

The art, sound effects, music, font, and UI/UX were all fantastic. I did have a little trouble understanding a few of the mini games, so a practice round or clearer instructions would be nice, but I was still able to figure it out quickly. That’s just me being picky, it wasn’t a showstopper.

Well done! I’m honestly in awe of what you pulled off.

Great art and sounds!! And the mini games were fun though some of them took a bit to figure out what to do. 

Developer

Thank you, yeah its a bit of a learning curve but hopefully it wasnt frustrating because its so low stakes :D

This was a great experience. Pirates meets wario ware would be how I'd describe this. At first I thought it was going to be a drag to deal with the minigames not explaining anything but one time through and you get the gist of what to do. Pretty much like wario ware (no real instructions, just intuition to learn to play the game). 

It's clear you guys spent a lot of time on the art work and the audio was dialed in very well for the experience. The achievements were a nice touch as well. I checked the stats at the end and it said it took 13 minutes to unlock everything. A very condensed experience which was good because although the minigames are good, they wouldn't be able to sustain a longer play session.

Overall, a very well polished experience that fit the theme very well. You guys should be proud of what you did here.

An impressive amount of minigames! I love the ideas for the pirate mini games, they all really work well together. Each are simple and fun. The 2D and 3D art looks great together. 

My only feedback is that you just jump into the minigame with little instructions. It's not a big deal when you can select the mini games, because you can easily retry. But for journey mode, by the time you figure out how to play it, you already lost and cant try again. 

Altogether a great submission! You can tell everyone on the team put their best foot forward. Great job!

Developer

Cheers! thank you for playing!

Thank you! We had a team of 5 and we worked really hard on it :)

I had a lot of fun with the mini games! Could use a bit less text, but the art style is great — good job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! If you play the mini-game from the minigame menu or marathon mode theres no text. That's only for Journey Mode, for some extra lore :)

Submitted(+2)

The art style is really nice. mini games were very fun, great job

Developer

Thanks alot!

Really good entry ! Lots of mini games and set in a nice coherent setup.

Some are harder to understand at first, and the scoring system will punish you with a brutal zero, but it's alright really

Played them all, gg guys
