Sail to your destiny. Do not allow water to fill your ship. Keep sea creatures away with your trusty harpoon.
Upgrade your ship
Survive the storms
Do not sink
Tips: - lower the sails during storms - do not forget to raise sails, when it's clear - use a bucket to get rid of the water (bar on the left of your screen) - try to hit sharks before they bite your ship

Gorgeous art and a fun survival management gameplay with a surprising rougelite element. Mouse aiming of the harpoon would have been a nice element of skill. Overall a really nice take on the theme.
Nice game! I loved the artwork. The music was a tad loud for me, but not to the point that it annoyed me. The somewhat roguelike aspects of the ship's upgrades were a nice touch for replayability. I was expecting things to get a lot more hectic when it ended, so I think there's room to make it a bit longer, with more hazards and some general addition of 'omg I gotta do this but I also gotta do that' craziness. Loved your take on the theme. Great work!
I love this one. The art is brilliant, I love the watercolory parallax effect. Music is also great, and I'm really impressed that the gameplay also felt really balanced. I struggled a bit on the first try, then got though it on the second.
It was a pleasant surprise that the upgrades were randomized so my second try was a lot more exciting than I thought it would be.
AMAZING game. Really incredible. Art and music are genuinely fantastic. I really the upgrades and the little flavor text you wrote for some of them. Honestly really cool, you get a very positive review from me.
Absolutely fantastic. It really looks like a fine oil painting, and I liked how you could physically upgrade your ship later as well, instead of just statistic upgrades (less likely to bite ship, etc.) I didn't lose later in the game, but if I was sailing for a while and lost I definitely wouldn't have wanted to try again, so I hope you added some checkpoints, at least in the middle of the journey. Well, I'm off to get some drink now :)
The game art is very beautiful and so is the sound. It took me a while to understand how to attack sharks, but it gave me a good time. Thanks for the game.
So fun to play! The necessity to run on the ship from one side to another fits the theme really well. The art is great and the music tunes in a certain pirate mood. Nice work! Davy Jones says hi back, ha-ha
This game is simply excellent. The graphics and the atmosphere are fun and compelling, and the multiple different tasks you need to complete really kept me on my toes. Is there any way to guarantee that the harpoons will hit the shark/ can you control where it's aimed at?
@meansquarederror Thank you! The harpoon is aimed automatically at the nearest shark, so you can somewhat control where it goes by moving closer to the target.
This was a fun entry! I enjoyed it and liked how you added new concepts and tools as the game progressed. The graphics are nice and the day/night cycle introduces fresh challenges. I found the background music detracted from my experience a little, as it sounded quite generic and didn't vary based on gameplay. Gameplay wise, the game definitely kept me on my toes, though I think the bell might have made it too easy, since once I got it I didn't have to use my harpoon anymore.
Very solid overall! Your game has a strong sense of mood!
I am delighted! A very cool game and very atmospheric. The music is simply beautiful creates a melancholic mood, the graphics are not too complicated, but they create the right atmosphere. everything seems to be perfectly combined). The inscription at the death of the character also made me laugh.
beautiful and very laid back game! i died pretty early on the first few times, wasnt expecting the giant shark LOL loved the death screens, i like the upgrades as you go on and hit certain points, overall super fun and very well made!
At first I thought it was Captain Vrungel, but we got to the shore, bravo! I liked the music, it turned out to be an atmospheric game. Where is my smoking pipe?
Very cool game! I love the art style and the music, and the mechanics are pretty unique. My only feedback would be that at times it seemed like the physics of the ship was behaving unintuitively. I would be standing on the one end of the ship but it'd lean the other direction. In any case, it's a really interesting game that I'd love to play more of. Great work!
Really unique game, and great art! Good level of skill involved too with the various tasks you need to balance. (Also, being able to use the sextant to manually unlock new upgrades alongside the natural ones is pretty cool).
At first I found the game a little bit frustrating, but once I started to understand how the mechanics of the game worked, it only took me a couple more tries to beat the game. I'm not really a fan of long tutorials that spell everything out, but I suspect perhaps if the game was just a little more clear about how things worked, it might have saved me that initial frustration.
Aside from that, the game was lovely. The music was nice, the art was pretty, and everything came together in support of the style and mood of the game.
Ah first the storm if rough captain you are not fearing them at first and they make you wish checkpoint existed, but... ok... life is hard and scary. PS: Nice entry !
This game was pretty interesting! I liked the concept a lot and the art was really good! At some points it felt a bit easy, like how you just have to press x to shoot the creatures but at other points the game would kill you really quickly.
Either way, really liked the game, thanks for the entry!
A very good surprise, as much on the visual as on the gameplay! I was caught up in the game and I couldn't stop until I reached the end! Thanks for this game
The artwork is beautiful! The game is simple and fun. I got overwhelmed by the predator's in the end and couldn't get them off the ship fast enough. I wish my harpoon was stronger or I could use it faster, but maybe I just haven't gotten to that upgrade yet. Good game!
What a nice take on this theme. Idea is original as well as gameplay, art is gorgeous for what it is, and even if the music was already made up, you've choosen so weel and it fit so nicely with the global atmosphere. You managed to absorb me during my playtime, that game was so involving. Just one word : Bravo !
Really fun! Reminded me of Sea of Thieves. I like Victor, he's funny. Overall a very relaxing bug-free game. Btw, I think the rules state if you didn't make the audio within the 3 days you omit Audio from your rankings.

Maybe network speed is too laggy? I think the screen is a little bit sluggish

Great job!

Art is through the roof!
Keep up!
We tried to find some other people who made unstable sea and were actually surprised that almost nobody did. Congrats 😉
Aside from that, the game was lovely. The music was nice, the art was pretty, and everything came together in support of the style and mood of the game.
PS: Nice entry !
Either way, really liked the game, thanks for the entry!
An unstable ship fits the theme well.
I really enjoyed being able to upgrade the ship, and I love how overpowered the sextant is.
The only problem I had was figuring out that I had to click to pick an upgrade.
