I really loved this game! The gameplay is satisfying, art and music are awesome. I'd like to see more difficult levels, even later levels were pretty easy, also i think mouse for controls would fit better. But it's really cool for a 72 hour jam!

Thank you for playing!

Very great work! Nice water shader and ships subtly moving. The sounds and watching the shot line up are really satisfying. Cool puzzle and lots of potential for little secrets in each level. I could also see a hard mode where you don't show the entire line maybe just the first line. 

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the suggestions!

LOVE THE CONCEPT!! Amazing art, amazing bgm, amazing animation! 

Liking the fact that I could choose between levels.

Encountered a bug at level 14, where the canon ball hits the ship but got stuck in the middle of the ocean.

Really fun and nice game. For sure its plenty good to be expanded into a bigger game

This was fun, I really like age of sail style games. The only thing I would have added was a cannonball travel ghost indicator along the trajectory line for the movement levels. It was sometimes hard to gauge how fast the cannonball would travel based on the perspective angle.

Developer

Thanks for playing and adding feedback! That is a good suggestion for a future update!

Good game. Looking really nice. And good game concept. I had to restart the level once due to a bug. In one of the last levels, a vessel circles around the island. When I hit the vessel from the front, the cannonball gets stuck in mid-air and the vessel just keeps circling. bug screenshot

Really fun game. If you were to continue with this, I think it will be fun if players can place portals as a game mechanics.

Developer

Thank you! That could work great I think!

I'm so impressed that you completed this in 3 days (on top of the limitation from the Mini Jam)!! The level design is great, the music is great, and the assets are really well-implemented.

I would love to see this expanded, and if you're planning to I would say:

1. Not sure how you would do this, but potentially hide the answer to the puzzle a little more for some of the levels. For a few of the middle ones I would just move my cursor a bit and the angle would be obvious because it was the most connected thing on screen

2. Small and medium ships look pretty similar, I might find a way to differentiate them

I really hope you expand this because this would be a really fun little game to play with some more features.

Developer

Thank you for playing and writing some feedback, I appreciate it! I might expand it in the future, when I find some time.

Arrrr, I like to be a pirate! Great game, with so much potential. The hint with the ray makes it a bit too easy overall, maybe just show it in the first few levels?

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! It's a great suggestion, I agree the ray makes gameplay a bit too easy.
