I'm a sucker for pirate themed games, and I found the game fun overall!! I did have a little bit of difficulty really getting the wheel to spin, but once I got my sea legs I ended up doing ok! YAAARGH!
(It doesn't say it under my username, but I made the music for Waltz of the Sapling if you want to give it a try!)
The drag-to-spin wheel is such a commitment to the bit — you really do feel like you’re desperately hauling a ship’s wheel while the parrot heckles you. The lo-fi cutout aesthetic is doing a lot of heavy lifting here in the best possible way, it’d be a completely different game if everything looked “nice.” Also apparently there’s a flick technique for quick turns I didn’t know about until I read the comments, so I’m going back in.
What i got out of this game is that i suck, thanks parrot =(
the parrot is harsh… i’ll give him a talking to concerning MANNERS. thank you very much for playing !
Really cool idea! I love how simple but effective it is. The visual is also lovely!
thank you for playing!
This was a neat idea, but I found it difficult to control. It felt like I needed to circle the mouse around a lot to make changes, and I had to drag it pretty low along the bottom edge if I was doing a full circle. With only the top of the wheel showing I initially figured it would only be dragging it side to side a small amount, but that did almost nothing. If you need to spin the mouse around the wheel, then more of the wheel should probably be showing, to make it easier to get under for the circling. Even with dragging all the way around it felt like by the time I saw a rock there was not enough time to avoid it. There are probably tricks to control it better, but I did not find them. Maybe add some more details on how to move quickly enough to avoid rocks. I tried a few times, but was unable to get far.
thanks for the feedback. you’re meant to drag and release the mouse, in order to spin the wheel. the faster you do this, the more the wheel will spin. you do not need to make full circles with your mouse. Sorry if this was not clear…. thank you for playing !
The vibes of this one is great. It felt like the rocks moved more quickly towards me than the pirate ships, which made it difficult to steer away from them once I was already heading in a direction towards a pirate ship. Rlly awesome tho and loved the voice acting.
Fun idea and visuals! And I do love a bit of voice acting.
However I found it very hard to interact with the game fully because it was simply too hard to control the ship for me, the amount of spinning required wasn't all that easy on the wrist so I just keps smashing into things :P
That being said though it was still great fun! I do love a choppy aesthetic and I really wish I could've played a little longer!
thank you so much for playing and for the feedback! I'm planning on updating the difficulty once the jam is over, since many people have been commenting about it. Hopefully it'll help out if you decide to give it another try!
The game play is fun but a bit hard to steer the ship. not sure if you try to make it realistic. The visuals is very cool.
i tried to make the wheel require lots of spinning to change directions, in order to facilitate sillier gameplay. with some practice, you can also flick the wheel at a certain angle to send it very far in one direction very quickly. Thank you for the feedback and thanks for playing !!!
The visual style you've landed on us super cool. Loved all the quips from the parrot. The steering was pretty difficult but it was fun to spin the wheel really fast. Very satisfying and a cool experience around!
thank you for playing !!
Very nice and crunchy like something I'd find in the discount computer games section of a staples 20 years ago. Yarrrr
thank you very much for playing !
This feels like like an old point and click game you'd buy for dirt cheap or at least a flash game similar to one and its so cool! The low resolution images combined with the low quality audio clips make the game feel so comical and the idea of spinning a wheel to steer a ship is surprisingly quite a niche concept as I've not seen it yet in this jam! Great use of the theme and super cool project !!
thank you so much, I'm very glad you got the vibe !! I thought your game was super cool as well!
This game is awesome. The pirate wheel is really cool and I absolutely love the low res pngs lol. Turning did feel a bit too difficult at times, especially with how hard it was to tell depth, but it wasn't really an issue and I had a blast!
thank you so much for playing!! glad you liked it !
bro thats an amazing game everything is perfect , made me laugh so hard trying to evade them cliffs desperately lmao , i gave u five stars on all , well done !!!
thank you very much, i'm so happy you enjoyed it !!!
This one is great! I did find it was really difficult to tell when I was going to run into an obstacle, and controlling the wheel was awkward though I think that was kind of the point. I loved the rest of the game though, the humor is solid and visuals are cohesive and charming. I love all the bitcrushed sounds too, and how the parrot just straight up insults you sometimes hahaha. Great job!
thank you so much for the feedback! I'm very glad you enjoyed the humor and visuals!
lovely idea and visuals! great interpretation of the theme as well :) i had some issues getting used to the controls and the distance of the obstacles tho.
the distance of objects was definitely the most challenging part of the game to create, as i had to try and give them real depth and scale fully in 2d. thank you so much for playing !!
10/10 best jam entry ever
tysm this is an amazing compliment !!!
I had a visceral amount of fun playing this, tossing the wheel to arc the boat felt really satisfying.
Also "ARRRRGH, SHUT UP." really got a good laugh out of me.
i'm so glad you enjoyed it!! thank you very much for playing
Even though the game is pretty simple, I had a lot of fun with it! The un-polished art style turned out to be a really nice addition for this game; I don't think it would have felt the same if the images were all "rendered nicely" and whatnot.
The parrot was also a great addition lol; I loved the voicelines.
thank you very much for your feedback ! i also really enjoyed the voice lines!!
Great fun! Lovely art stlye, reminded me of when Monty Python added animations into their skits.
Let me spin with A & D, My wrists can't handle the high seas!
i love monty python, this is such kind praise!! thank you very much for playing !!
really good game, but I suck and the parrot was mean to me :(
the parrot can be… very cruel. thank you for playing !!
