Oh well, the team just love pirates. And what fits best of a rush for some good ol' pices o' eight?

Gold StepsThis is one of those entries which I could totally see me playing on actual hardware as a kid. The art direction is lovely, the game has upgrades and repeatability with a cool score chaser loop!
Graphically the game looks spotless, I love everything you presented and the boss icons slowly gaining color as you defeat them is a lovely touch!
Bitcrushed sound effects made by the dev, a banger soundtrack, only bad thing is the sound balance of the waves, they drown out many effect you would probably want to be over them.
The game is lovely, super cool job!

Go Go Kobold!I liked the perspective of sailing forwards with the continuous stream of the ocean. The music was very gameboy, as was the sound effects of the cannonball colliding with an obstacle. A fun way to rush for gold.

The Golden RingNice I love the simple idea of making a Temple run like game on a 2D level. Very well executed with the effect that stuff comes over the horizon! The art is good. Love it!

Ancient TreasureLove how bold your colours are, they really pop. This might be a hot take but I feel like you could maybe develop this further as a rhythm game? Everything was in threes and I just got a musical vibe from it all

Frogball DemoThe game was simple and fun to play. I liked that there was a cooldown on the cannon, so you had to choose when to use it. Art and sounds were perfect game boy feel
Like others have said, the patterns did get a little repetitive and there was a bit too much down time between waves.
Loved the submission though! Gonna have my wife try it out

TheseusThe game is fun to play and the core mechanic is simple and easy to understand.
After a while the loop starts to feel a little repetitive, so a bit more variety between sections could help keep things fresh. I did like that each section ends with a boss fight, though, and that the bosses vary in their attack patterns and difficulty.
I also really liked the way progression is shown through the portraits of the defeated bosses filling with color in the main menu. It's a small detail, but it gives a nice sense of progress throughout the game.
Overall, a very good and enjoyable game!

Old Gold, Old BonesA very satisfying experience! I do find that the boat's movement makes dodging things a bit infuriating at times, but overall great job at making such a cohesive game in this amount of time!

Gribble Copperless: ShovelbrokeTakes a while to start, but the overall gameplay's pretty good. I really like how you chose 4 radically different colors instead of going monochromatic like most other games.
How are you supposed to beat the french cat boss though. Kind of frustrating to die at 150 coins by one hit and then have to do it all over again.

M.O.R.O.Y.It's so much fun! The artistic elements (characters and music) give it a lot of personality. I love it!
