Hi there! Galeas is adventure/trading game where you are a connection between the old world and an uncharted archipelago.
You control a ship send by the king to trade with the local villages for spices and tea. But beware,the enemy has set up some defense to shoot down your ship. The ship has a limited supply of food and should return before the crew starves or the ship breaks.
The control are quite easy: WASD or arrow keys to move, E to trade and SPACE to shoot your cannons. There is a better guide in the game. The game also supports fullscreen and borderless windowed.
If you find any problems with the game or have a remark, please leave a comment.
The game looks really nice, but I couldn't really play much because the direction controls are WASD only, which makes it very hard to use on a non-qwerty keyboard. Adding the arrow keys as a 2nd option would have helped in this regard !
Heya, I liked the concept and the visuals are crisp and very stylish. I enjoyed moving around but I didn't do very well. I tried to kill the shooting towers but they shot me too fast and the reach of my cannons made it so that I needed to get really close to kill them, while they shot very far.
Overall I think this could be a gem if the fighting gameplay elements are tightened up a bit.
Hey guys, thanks for all the feedback and kind words. I made the towers the way they are because you don't really benefit from killing them, aside from the small gold bonus. You only need to kill a few to be able to trade.
Maybe I playtested the game so much I became quite good at avoiding the arrows :)
I will upload a 32 bit version as fast as possible.
I would avoid a bit of the "pixel-hunting" for the cannon balls when you want to hit the towers (or make the towers wider), because it seems a little too difficult and a bit random to hit them.
Really tough! The controlling system was really cool and innovative and I really enjoyed playing this, although at times it felt like my whole barrage of shots couldn't reach the towers even when I was as close to it as possible.
It's cool, once I figured it out. I don't know why I can shoot, since shooting doesn't seem to affect the enemies. It's also confusing why when you go up to a trading hut, it starts out grayed out but then you can trade with it... clicking on it seems to do something, but I don't know why. Sometimes when I try to trade, it won't let me. Nice polish, otherwise.

Regardless, I found the graphics very pleasing and smooth.

Wonderful entry otherwise! Good luck :)

Other than that, great job indeed!
