really love the concept and execution mechanically, though the UI def needs some polish. well done!

Developer

Thanks!

Great concept but the UI layout needs a lot of work

Developer

Thanks, yeah that seems to be a general piece I gotta work on including the walls of text. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Too many text, I think it would look more clean if you used some icons. In general it was a little bit hard to understand what's going on. Also, maybe instead mixing turn-based combat and tower defense you could focus only on one part and add more depth to gameplay? Overall nice work!

Developer(+1)

Yeah, that's one thing I end not being able to clean up because of time, definitely would make a good addition. Also an in-depth step by step tutorial would also help a lot too. On the aspect of mixing, that was one of the only hard-set things I had in my mind while brainstorming, I wanted to mash two genres and see how I could affect the gameplay between the two. Could benefit from adding something more in the tower defense that can be used in combat. Thanks for the feedback!

The controls took a little while to get used to, but I dig it! I love games where you recruit little guys to do your bidding, and I don't think I've seen that in the context of pirate ships before. I will echo what has been said about the actions not always being super clear. I also think there's a small bug with the crew display UI, as I have two guys of the same type on the port and starboard cannons, but only one shows up in the menu at the bottom at a time. I might also consider rotating that grid menu and moving it to the right to increase readability and make use of the empty space. Overall a fun game, though! I could see myself downloading and playing something similar on my phone by my own volition (said as a non-mobile-gamer.) I look forward to seeing your next submission! 🙂

Also, the little sea-ditty brings me joy. Harps(?) are great.

Thanks! Yeah, I didn't get much time to playtest and tried to fix as many bugs as I could find, thanks for letting me know. Thanks for the feedback!

dang..pretty unique experience..mechanically game is pretty good..its very complicated but that just makes it more fun honestly,,good job!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Yeah, I was struggling on time to make a guided tutorial, I'm glad you found it fun!

Submitted(+1)

This is great fun to play, the text logs are a little bit invasive and the sailing phase damage felt a little unclear what was happening but I got through it by just smashing the upgrades. Great work! 😀

Developer(+1)

Yeah, a guided tutorial without the wall of text was what I was planning on working on if I had more time. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Definitely didn't take away from the fun factor. I played it through more than once :D
