You are the pirate Captain's trusty pirate parrot. The Captain's rival, Captain Windybottom, has blown all of the treasure off of the Captain's ship. As you fly out to collect the Captain's treasure before it sinks into the sea, Captain Windybottom is inpersonating the captain, trying to confuse you. Don't respond to any of his commands. Make sure you still respond to the Captain's commands, however.
-The left and right arrow keys control your movement
-The up arrow key will flap your wings
-Space will make you say "aye aye, Captain", but beware: you may only do so once!
-The Captain's treasure will be blown into the ocean unless you collect it. He might not notice one or two pieces gone, but if you lose three or more you lose.
-The Captain and his impersonator, Captain Windybottom, will both be yelling commands at you. If a command sounds like something the Captain, a real pirate, would say, respond with "aye aye, Captain".
-Do not respond to Captain Windybottom or else you lose!

Spectacular graphics! Loved the audio, too. Very funny :)
Gameplay is a bit repetitive after a very short while. For some reason no matter when I tried to say "aye aye" I lost, but when I didn't say "aye aye" nothing ever happened.
Really good stuff. Innovative, fun, nice graphics, humorous, and good use of audio. You covered yourself in all the fields by making a great game. Good stuff!
Bwahaharrr. I hope you don't mind if I save these sound files to play at appropriate false-piratey times in my life. So good.
Regarding the gameplay, it took me a while to realize that all the items were treasure (I though I was supposed to dodge the debris/swords/hooks and catch the gold) but once I understood, it was quite manageable.

The bird flight mechanics was pretty fun but I didn't get the point of having the space bar mechanic aside from conforming to the theme.
Almost lost it at "Eat a nutritious breakfast." Not the game, my composure. Didn't like how any key got out of the win screen. Had to beat the game again to actually read the win screen. Oh who am I kidding, that's as good of an excuse as any to replay this game.

Cute game. The words of wisdom from the captain were great!
