The java universal works on both windows and mac. (NOTE: The web version will randomly crash my browser every once in a while. If you dont want to take the chance please DL it from sourceforge via the link.) DONE. First LD and first full game ever made, so don't judge too hard =) Im sure there is alot of bugs and things in this game, but i really didnt have time to work them all out. Maybe later this week I will flesh out this idea more, because i really enjoyed working on it. GL to all.
Firstly, the graphics are cute and I love them. The gameplay is fun, although it can get a little tedious. I am really looking forward to what you accomplish in the future.
The web version did not work at all, the downloadable version needs to be in a folder hierarchy without spaces in the folder names to work (crap java crap).
Anyhow, a Pirates game! Weird that almost nobody went for that. Works nicely, although runs at rather constant 12 FPS. It seemed a bit easy, but I'm sure that can be remedied with more enemy types (cannons from islands and such). Good game!
Really enjoyable. The gameplay was a bit slow, and I wouldn't want to lose that feel for the combat but if maybe there's a way to preserve that and still improve the pacing.
The WASD firing was really confusing, I often fired the wrong way when I was sailing down. I'd almost prefer the mouse and keyboard be swapped.
Still, great game, different and fun. I really enjoyed this one.
This was basically pretty fun, but really slow at least in the beginning. The game kept crashing on me on level 2 so I couldn't really see if it takes off after that.
Capturing the islands was a bit boring since you just sit there capturing. The enemies were also really easy to fight. I think the control scheme was basically a neat idea, but I got disoriented with the mouse movement several times. It should probably be a relative motion instead of an absolute one, so that if I flick my mouse to the right, my ships turns right.
Also the standalone version wouldn't run even though I do have Java 6 installed. Got the error "Could not create the Java virtual machine."
The gameplay is fun, Could do with more variation though. You have a massive memory leak somewhere. I was able to get to level four only by giving java more memory.
The web version didn't work for me, but the downloadable version worked fine. I really enjoyed playing this game and it got me playing for much longer than I wanted to. :)
