Bloody Barrels!
Bloody Barrels! Ludum Dare 54, Limited Space.
Click and drag to move the barrels around, and make your way to the deck.
Story
Painfully emerging from three days of heavy and healthy hydration (well yes, mostly rum), the ol' Jack wakes up to the sweet sounds of cannons, and finds himself deep inside the ship' hold.And worse than that, his scurvy dogs of crewmates almost buried him alive beneath their latest catch of precious goods (again, mostly rum)! To top it all off, it does sounds like an on-going boarding up there...
A few barrels ain't going to be enough to prevent this old salt from joining the racket on deck, and make these sons of biscuit eater walk the plank. They'll feed the fish soon enough!

I don't know if my pc is just really bad but the frame rate is super super low
The barrels also sometimes passes through the ground and the fence
I would like to have more to do besides just finding a key, maybe more steps before getting to the deck?
Also i'm a little bit subject to motion sickness and i now have a nice headache, THANKS !
Maybe subtitles could be great for bad english speakers or no sound players, the voice lines are gold. It would be sad that someone don't get it :)
Great job !
The dialogue is hilarious too.
It looks so insanely good, I kind of wished the collision shape on the barrels were a bit tighter, it looked off when they clipped into each other sometimes. You set the bar so high! I also kept trying to jump. I get why you didn't have it... but even if spacebar did a terrible low jump, it would help a little with some of the frustration. haha.
I actually felt super claustrophobic at the beginning. So... great job? :rofl:
@federick-adrian-coo yes our frame rate and mouse sensitivity might be a bit unsettling, that's one axis of improvement for sure, and we plan on fixing it !
See you all in the comment sections of your own games ! :wink:
For the bug in question, is it the one where you have to try to put the barrels in the ground?
Thanks for the feedbacks !
I found the ending a bit anticlimactic, but overall, great job to the team!
A good concept can make a game stand out. In addition, the visuals and music of the game also had a significant impact on my experience.
The visual effects of the game screen it's FANTASTIC!!! I love this, and the harmony of the music combined with the atmosphere of the game makes the whole experience more pleasant.
In addition, the difficulty and balance of the game are also key elements of the quality of the game, they can ensure that the game is challenging but not too difficult.
All in all, I think it’s a great little game that has the concept, the visuals, the music and the gameplay to keep players interested and engaged.
This is a measure of the quality of a small game, and this game gives me a lot of fun.
If you like my reviews, check out my game too! Absolutely stunning! Thank you!!
