I think it was a great game overall. The art was pretty good, I loved the music, and the perspective change between the characters was great. If you plan to expand on the game or use the base for another project, I would heavily lean into the character change idea with multiple perspectives.

How does your game meet GBJam's theme
The game is about old native Central American treasure during the age of exploration. That needs to be returned to it's owners.

It’s a pretty good game—not very long, but with an interesting story and gameplay concept.
I’d like to give a special mention to the soundtrack; it’s really good.
The mechanic of passing items via the barrel and switching between perspectives is interesting. However, I would have liked more reasons to switch between the players. It also would have been nice if the player on the deck faced threats similar to those the player in the hold encounters.
Love the backstory, and the music really put me right there in that old place in time. Nice pixel-art as well, gameplay and controls could use some polishing, also in the sense of: help the player a bit more - though I'll admit that was unusual back in the day, you had to figure out everything on your own. Still overall impressive job, congrats!
The interpretation to the secondary theme is pretty interesting and I like the idea of different playable character with different style of gameplay (the native being platformer while the crew being top down.) The art here is pretty impressive and the soundtracks captures the gameboy vibes. It's pretty cool!!
It looks great, and the story is genuinely interesting. However, the controls feel a bit unresponsive. Good luck!
kinda cool, i did love the mechanic to change characters, fits well with the game !
Art and cutscenes looks amazing very detailed love that. and using the secondary theme as a curse is kind of clever. game play felt bit odd with changing different characters into different scenes, kind of hard to understand what is going on. overall i enjoyed it , great work
