Art, audio, and mechanics were all really well done! Would have been nice to have a bit more info / tutorial at the start, but once I got the hang of the interactions it was a lot of fun lining up the cargo to the correct ship!
I really like the crisp graphics, they have a certain oldschool aesthetics :)
At first I thought that you push the lane that's supposed to move, but after a few fails I understood that it's the other way around
I don't know why but after a few levels I got a bit anxious and decided not to continue playing. I feel like it would be better to select the lane to move instead of moving two other lanes but it might be just me
Overall id say it's a top 5 contender, very well made!
Great idea and execution. one of the most fun LD54 games I've played. Art and mood are fantastic. The game mechanic works great too. maybe it needs a tutorial level. I dumped lots of stuff in the water at first!
It took me a while to understand that I have to choose ships and choose their cargo types, but after that it's quite an interesting and novel idea. I can imagine that with more content it will be a nice game.
It took me a couple of minutes to figure out the game, but it was fun when I did! A short tutorial (even on the LD page) would be great, and I would really like to be reminded of the order of the items on the ship, which I found a little counter-intuitive. Otherwise a nice concept!
It took a few attempts to figure out what was going on, but one I did I really enjoyed the mechanics and the atmosphere! You could take it to the next level with some explicit tutorials and background music!
Nice idea, well executed. Smoking the pope was a nice touch to give it more personality. The mechanics were a bit unclear at first, such as what order the items had to be in the ship, but easy enough to figure out through trial and error. I did run into some situations where it didn't seem possible to survive. I managed to get 80 shillings, but then hit a game over trying to figure out what the wave button that appeared did. Some explanations would have been nice, but overall, great job.
