cool concept and the map is pretty cool i love this style of maps and world building
i can see that this project has great potential so keep it up :)
thanks a lot !! i really appreciate it FR !!
The gameplay was alright, the popup of "secret : spin to win" on the start of every attempt made me think I was missing some mechanic the whole time; like if you spun your ship you would dash a direction when you released it. I like open world maps like that, I thought that was pretty cool if underutilized. The graphics are obviously really stunning, the music was also good, but I would have liked more interactive sound effects.
I also may or may not have made a face when I saw Hugo Huge Hands eat my soul for stepping a pinkie toe outside my lined prison.
lmao thanks a lot a really appreciate it haha yeah that hugo is funny
I loved the theme and it was fun to play, graphics are cool too. I had few issues tho
- i got bug when i tried to retry level and i needed to restart the game
- the lobby map is soo huge and you get different animations when walking on ground ( like in overcooked) but the space isnt really used
- there was only one mechanic that was trying to kill a player and i would love if there were more
-and there was only 3 levels, it would have been even better if there were more levels!!!
Overall i liked it and i hope you will make more games!!!! Have a nice day!
thanks a lot and these are very helpful notes ill definitely try to add them these days since the jam is over and im planning to really expande on the game and make it a real fun experience , thank u !
i hope you will finish it and im gonna play new versions!!
I love the graphics, this is very nice!
Great game!
As everyone else has mentioned, the artstyle and animations are gorgeous. The world map looks especially amazing, and the character sprite looks really good too. My favorite detail is how you transform from a ship to a band of adorable pirates when walking over the world map.
I do have a few visual critiques. The whirlpool sprite feels quite static, the UI could do with some animation, and I think the more things should've gotten that white outline shader (specifically those aforementioned whirlpools). But even with these complaints, I'm giving this a 5 on visuals because everything else is just so damn good.
Visuals aside, I unfortunately found the gameplay a bit… boring? The concept is fine—carefully maneuvering from start to finish—but the player moves soooo slooooow. Moving through levels can be a bit of a slog, especially in the longer stretches without any obstacles. I also would've liked to see some more progression within the mechanics. This is possible even with only 3 levels imo. E.g., you could start with stationary whirpools and only introduce moving ones in, say, level 2. As things stand, there isn't really much of a difference between level 1 and level 3 aside from level 3 being a lot longer.
This is more of a side note, but I wish you had to move across the world map to get from level to level. Again, the world map is beautiful and packed with fun little details, so it's a shame you just skip over it entirely as you play the game. Moving from level to level could be a bit of a pain as things currently stand though, so I'd suggest either raising movement speed or bringing levels close together.
But between the charming artstyle and the boat maneuvering concept, there's definitely a base for a great game here. With faster movement, more obstacles, and UI polish, you could totally get there.
(oh yeah and also I liked the sound effects a lot; good stuff)
Artstyle is so pretty. I think it can be more enjoyable as mobile game with touch screen. You can add some ship skin and make lots of moneeyy :P
yo thats exactly the vision im heading , btw i also uploaded a mobile apk if u wanna try it !!
This game is beautiful. Amazing job on the aesthethics. It's fun to play as well
thank u !!! i love your game too was so sick
Great starting concept! For a game under development, it has good visuals and nice gameplay controls. You have the core neatly laid out there. For the theme, I guess you could say you swirl and circle around obstacles to make it to the goal.
yes exactly you laied it out perfectly ! also its u with the amazing game ! its one of the best games i played in this jam !!
really nice and cool concept for a game jam game it feels like it lacks just a little bit of juice but the visuals and controls feel really fun and nice enjoyed playing the game
thanks a lot i really appreciate that ! i actually was planning to make a lot more content but unfortunately i ran out of time but i Am planning to finish it after the jam cause its supposed to be a big game with multiple game modes and this is just one
art style is phenomenal, absolute wowzers. the gameplay's also really nice, but i found it quite short. only hope there'll be some more levels
thanks a lot i really appreciate that ! for the game being short i actually was planning to make a lot more kinds of obstacles and enemies and content but unfortunately i ran out of time but i Am planning to finish it after the jam cause its supposed to be a big game with multiple game modes and this is just one
Nice work! The artwork and visuals overall are quite nice! I wish there was some sound though.
Apart from the twisters there wasn't much connection to the theme.
thanks a lot ! for the sound its actually there sfx music and all but its just low so ull have to crank it up a but lol , as for the connection to the theme i actually was planning to make a lot more kinds of obstacles and enemies that connects but unfortunately i ran out of time but i Am planning to finish it after the jam cause its supposed to be a big game with multiple game modes and this is just one
damnnn this game was pretty. unique take on the theme too
thanks a lot !
Really cool art in the game! I was a bit confused on the "spin to win" video and usage since I assumed it meant the whirlpools would slightly pull you so you had to "spin" around them to win, but it didn't seem to mean that so a bit confused on that connection haha. Cool stuff tho!
the spin to win is about u not rushing towards the whirlpools but u know what , thats actually a neat idea lol i guess ill add it rq
I love the game, but I am a bit confused what the "spin to win" part is?
Cool art, loved the map:)
thanks a lot !
I am stuck on level 3 but i loved the art and audio!
keep trying lol and thanks !
Fun concept, I enjoyed it! I'd love to see more levels/mechanics added to this and just more gameplay time. The only minor things I would mention are (and this may be a user issue) it took me a while to realize I had to click on the levels to start them (I was spamming all the buttons on the keyboard and was getting approximately nowhere lol), and then the other two minor points are the music- it was a little loud in the map, I think (it sounded like it was peaking?), and then when you die and restart in a level, I would recommend having the music continue rather than restart; it felt a little jarring to have it fully restart when I died. All of those things are super minor though, and I do think the concept overall was well-done!
thanks a lot , i am very happy u like it , and also thanks for the feedback , it really helps ! , i'll try my best to add all of the features very soon today
Really cool game loved the core concept and how the environment changes when you advance Just one small idea to make it even better adding a level number or indicator would be awesome Right now its hard to know which stage you are on and having that number would give players a great sense of achievement Overall fantastic effort man keep it up
thank u so much , i am glad u like it , and also thanks for the feedback , it really helps ! , i'll absolutly try my best to add all of the features very soon today
I really like the game's aesthetic, especially with the pirate ship which looks amazing! I do wish there were more levels due to the game being pretty fun.
im so happy to read this comment truly it really means a lot ! ill try to add a lot more levels and cutscenes even after the jam , im planning to make it a larger full game so ill definetly keep u updated , thanks again !
Glad to hear so! Good luck with that!
