In "A Pirate's Reward" you are a pirate with a bounty on your head. Try to sink the other ships before they can sink you! But there's one problem: the more ships you sink, the higher your bounty becomes.
Controls : - WASD or ←↓↑→ to move around - Mouse to rotate your view - Escape for pause menu - Space-bar to shoot
I really enjoyed the overall aspect of the game. nice modelisation with a simple but efficient design. It is a bit tricky to aim but I think that is the goal. I enjoyed the music too. Really nice job!
I really loved this game. Very fun to play, a little bit easy and I had some trouble with the mouse on the web version, but overall it was awesome. Thx for sharing
This is one of the most fun games of the jam I've tried so far, congrats! The collision mechanics are a bit buggy, but it can make for some fun daredevil moves of ships-jumping-over-islands, GTA(Grand Theft Armada?)-style.
Great game! Awesome graphics I really like the low poly athletics. The game play is really solid and its pretty fun to just run round and blow up other ships. However that gets boring after a while, maybe it could've been engaging for longer if there was some kind of ship or weapon diversity? I also think it would have been cool if you had had the time to add a system where you take or deal damage if you ram into another ship/island. Other then those things though your game is spectacular! Good job!
Impressive! You made a fun world to sail around in. Took a little bit to get used to the fact that cannon balls don't inherit from the ship's velocity. But great work, it looks amazing!
Well done! Quite fun, although a little too easy for me. Great implementation of the theme and visually impressive for such a short time. I like how your cannons fire differently than the enemy ships - makes it so you can out-maneuver them and feel clever about it.
Aarrggh! I really liked the idea of the game, but that camera made me so sick, bleh. I'm a big fan of ship games like Windward, so this was a good find, and I wish I could have played it longer before I got to the I'm-gonna-throw-up-any-minute-now point.
Like @mharring, I enjoyed how the enemy ships' cannons fired directly from the front, while the player's fired out of the side. It was a pretty good move for designing the AI, and it made fighting more interesting.
@avsc Yes, we used fixed Spam points. Unfortunately we noticed the bug with the ships climbing on each other too late. Thanks for mentioning the problem with the web build, we fixed it :)
@mrbrooms unfortunately currently nothing :( We wanted to implement a shop where you can spent money you got for their heads for upgrades like new cannons, faster ship or eventually building a harbor :D would've been a better use of the theme, but this is how LD works.

I found it a bit easy thought !
Gorgeous level design, I'd recommend looking into shaders to do some vertex wobble for the ocean next time ;)
I absolutely love the art style, the ships, the planet, the islands, everything works wonderfully together and it's super colorful and fun to look at!
The sphere system worked great, really impressive work there

Also, your game has a Web build. It would be good to have it running on the itch.io page.
