The art is great, especially the character portraits. I've never been so serious about picking biscuits off a palm tree and placing them into a chest. The economy is pretty tight, I softlocked my first run. So I was super frugal on the second, only allowing my pirates plain bran biscuits and only when they were borderline mutinous. I only noticed the vendors offering different prices. on the last one (my bad). It could be really fun to incorporate some pick-up and deliver style economy; you can do that now, but because you travel linearly through the map, it becomes too random to do with intention. Because the economy was so tight for me, I didn't really get to risk running low on biscuits for coin cause of my first softlock run fear. Had a good time though, music was also great

Thanks for playing our little game and giving us so detailed feedback!
The softlock thing is something that was missed totaly by us. There will be a fix for that. Regarding the economy there are for sure some problems: giving the pirates not so valueable biscuits is a good strategy (i did it to haha) but the showing for a design flaw for sure. We wanted to implement a hit system to show player, where some biscuits may be better to buy or sell. Sadly it didnt make it into the game.
A full restart would probably be too harsh for this kind of game but I feel like go back 2 or three islands but get like 10 of each cookie and $150 could feel pretty reasonable. The only reason I soft locked was cause I started that travel leg with no cookies and no money cause I poorly managed multiple islands before that
