Really nice entry!

I love the art style and the two phases, of the game. 

The "negative" points have already been pointed out by others: compass seems broken, too much money at the beginning.

I have a small thing to add, I feel that shooting with J and K, but having to use the mouse to click (for the spyglass for example) is a bit strange. It could be worth using just the mouse, or use Q and E to shoot (so you use just one hand to move the ship).

I really loved the graphics style for this game. The gameplay was also very fun and addictive little loop. Ended up making it to wave 10 and defeating the boss, but the little army ships he dropped persisted and wiped me out in wave 11 :’)

One small criticism is that the initial influx of cash makes the rest of the game feel a bit too easy, i didn’t feel like i earned my first round of upgrades, and for the rest of the game i was better geared than all the enemies. A slight tweak to initial economy would improve this games difficulty curve imo.

Great work, continue to grow and challenge yourself!

Simple and addictive.

I was already enjoying myself but once I saw that regal blue ship I was all in, the upgrades had me hooked XD

Loved it, such a good time.

Really fun game and great addition to the pirate genre, could definitely see a full game being made out of this. Very impressive work for such a short amount of time!

this was amazing! art is so polished. great idea. i was a little unsure about all the money you start with, but once i saw that you move up an upgrade tier once you max out it made sense.
nice work!

So far the game seems to very well made and in-depth! I'm surprised with how much you managed to put into this jam title! My initial gripe was with the UI where trying to exit to different screens was buggy and got me stuck for a bit. Utilizing your ship to fight off other pirates felt pretty good and I loved the amount of upgrades you can get to enhance it. Your team really nailed that "pirate" theme well!

I would recommend adding some tutorial prompts or some sort of guide to the game to help figure out what to do but aside from that this is quite a solid game!

the closest I got to Pirates! gameplay in a while, and I mean it as a compliment. the whole gameplay loop is super fun, only wish more stuff could be unlockable, but it's a jam game so I completely understand how stuff gets cut out as deadline approaches. would play an enhanced version post-jam, congrats on the game!

Good job! I like the graphic and aduio, espically the fire sound effect, very fun. And also very beautiful pixel art! 

One question that is it seems like only I use mouse clik the items so I can use them? It has a bit of operation sparate, as I cannot use Items when I combat with enemies, espically the hammer. I think it would be better use mouse left and right to fire, instead of "J" and "K".

But overall, Nice work!

Good game! I enjoyed the battles!

Just one thing I encountered at the beginning. I entered the Tavern, but I couldn't leave. So I had to restart. But after that, it worked. 

Great game! Absolutely nailed the ship combat in terms of feel. I thought the game was too easy on my first playthrough, but it turns out I accidentally triggered an OP glitch with the Spy Glass: if you defeat the last enemy while zoomed out and the game transitions back to the port, you stay zoomed out for the next wave. You can stack this multiple times and kind of just see everything all the time. This resulted in me being able to snipe boats from afar without ever really putting myself at risk or taking damage, which snowballed my progression because I never had to worry about my ship's health. The progression felt much better on repeat playthroughs once I figured out it was a glitch and how to avoid it :P

Very nice game! I feel like you really nailed the ship to ship combat - the steering felt right the cannon felt powerful. Also the progression was fun. I'm not sure the potions were really needed though - seem like it's better to just upgrade the ship. I also felt like it was too zoomed in - I constantly needed to click on the spyglass

The pixel art was really good - but it was a little funny that the island is so beautiful, and the sea were you do the actual combat is just plan texture with some ships on it, which is what you look at for most of the game

I had a weird bug were after defeting the summoning boss - I went to the shipyard and maxed out the upgrades, but it's seem like ships were shooting me while it happens (heards cannons and saw my hp drop), and than I got the game over screen lol. Pirates never play fair I guess :)

Honestly, I'm surprised I haven't seen more water-based uses of the theme. It seems most people did sound and light. Additionally, I like the waves-of-enemies use of the theme, too. Firing the cannons feels nice, although it seems I can cheese the enemies by just staying slightly out of range while I fire. The still shots could use some animation or sound or something, but visually, they're quite pretty.

Solid submission.

great game!
