Welcome to Sky Corsair! Help Captain Cloudy Jones gather some water on the other flying islands, but be careful, the more water you carry, the slower your ship is! Avoid the flying stones, and beware of the infamous Dark Corsairs, they will surely want their cut...
I suggest reloading the level after you get the game over screen. As it is players have to reload he page which is a bit strange. I like the pixel art though and it was a nice idea overall.
I didn't figure out how to replay after game over. I just reload browser page. Music is repetitive and this one is not my taste, maybe music off option could be usefull. Maybe the game is too difficult for me,! I didn't kill the first Pirate ship. You've story and dialogs here it's good point. SkyCorsair.JPG
Those rocks are mean! definitely needs the re-play button, text-scroll speed could also be higher as the captain takes forever to say anything. Then again he could be one of those people who talks slow as can be but demand to be heard all the way through XD
Neat! I love the voxel graphics. You need a "retry" button, since it took me a few runs to get my sea legs (and perhaps a slightly longer music loop would be nice too).
@simonhutchinson Thank you ! It was my first Ludum Dare and I absolutely didn't think of integrating a retry button. As for the music, I'm going to practice for the next event! Thank you a lot for playing!
@seano Thank you a lot! As a non native English speaker I didn't realize rythm could be a problem, I will definitely keep that in mind in the future. Thank you for trying the game!
This is very good looking! Nice job on the graphics. I agree with the other commenters on the text speed and restart button (You can still add a restart button if you mention it on this page, it would make reviewing the game a lot easier for everyone).
I found it really hard to see if I was going to hit a rock, so maybe the camera placement could be tweaked a bit. And it would be a nice touch if the camera would follow the player smoothly instead of being attached to the ship.
I loved the design of the captain in the beginning.
The ship controls fine, though the camera is too static, it feels like you are moving the world around rather than moving the ship. The goal of the game could be a bit clearer, I had the choice between gathering water or shooting pirates, so I did the latter because it was way more fun.
Overall it's a great game, I hope you continue working on this! :)
Good game. I like the dialogs (despite the slow text) and graphics and dislike the controls (you slide a lot) and the music. Like the others, I missed a reset button so much.
Bug: When the second dialog starts, a rock hurt me.
I finally got around to playing and I really like the game! The graphics look nice and the gameplay is fun. I agree with everyone that a replay button would be nice but the game remembered my highscore even after reloading the page, that was neat!

Great compo entry!

Nice entry!
Second game I managed to shoot some cannons, but was unable to kill anyone, and didn't want to sit through the first part of the game again ^_^.
Overall it's a great game, I hope you continue working on this! :)

Best water saved: 10. Best enemy sunk: 8.
