I feel the introduction and game makes the feeling pretty pointless, I am randomly clicking things for no purpose whatsoever, and only after a certain amount of weeks I am told I am on some form of time limit, for no apparent reason, I would love to either see a better introduction, or a more engaging gameplay, might just be me as usual ^.^

Actually I don't think any of this is really challenging. Great game. No doubt. But if you have the artemis ship there is nothing really dangerous. An idea for a sequel might be to have challenge modes where you have less weeks or more bad things to encounter. Could get a little frustrating but would keep the urge to play it again. That's my biggest problem. I had a lot of fun playing it the first 5-6 times but then it got really boring because I just have to repeat the same things nad just differ a bit in the end.

the hardest part of the game is spending imeasurable weaks recruiting crew. i spent over 40 weeks just hiring the crew to sack el dorado, and barely finished with 3 weeks left.

Oh, something that would be neat to see, is that when boarding an enemy ship or destroying their sales, instead of just offering death/marooning, there should be an option to invite members of the defeated crew in joining our crew. Not saying all of them, but maybe a formula based off of a base percentage like 15% modified by reputation and current crew morale (thought the 15% + 1/4 current morale as a % + reputation [or minus for evil players]), but give a slight penalty to the ships morale for all the new crew members joining?

A nice feature for the cargo would be a screen which tells which of the special crew we have, because sometimes it just gets annoying, being unable to remember if I have the cook, carpenter, surgeon, and the navigator. Though I do enjoy all the things that are listed, and noticing how the morale and reputation icons change with the numbers. : )
It does have a save which works, so this is most likely a local issue for you.. see the kongregate help page for advice: http://www.kongregate.com/pages/help#savesmissing

i think there is a bug that when sometimes starting a battle you can't click the buttons and you take damage from the enemies but you can't see the action either

I can't figure out how to find Jacob. Great game, but it felt as if it was missing something, can't figure out what though. Perhaps more interaction?

when you try to fight the ship in el dorado your game glitches and you die and cant attack. You must refresh your web page to continue playing the game and have to restart.
Yeah, this is something I'll fix in the sequel, repeat players will get a cool new item and unlock new zones to adventure in on the replay in addition to the +gold bonus.

I really like the game, but why can't I mute the music alone? Can't be so hard to provide mute buttons for fx and music....

having crew seems quite pointless since the enemies always have insane amount of heavily armoured crews... and too many frikken sea monsters
and not enough.. well anyway 2/5 for almost half-decent idea

When the week-counter reaches 0, you’ll immediately get thrown into the final boss fight without a warning. Needless to say, my ship was already damage from a previous fight, and I was running low on expendable ammo, which was really annoying since I had 1600 gold coins in my coffers. A better option would be to forced us to port week 2, and give us a heads up about the upcoming fight using a pop-up box; this way we can restock and repair.

Decent game overall but could use some improvement. For example hotkeys for attacks, all of the in port places having the option of "return to port" as some only have return to map, and fixing some of the bugs (I had a few times where I had to refresh google chrome because non of the buttons were working).
Sorry about that, chrome is notoriously annoying with flash ever since google decided to write their own (constantly changing) version of the flash player which doesn't work the same way as the regular flash player. It's really annoying as a game developer.

Wow, playing with google chrome and when I entered "Goldtooth's Grotto" I couldn't leave and had to refresh because return to map button wouldn't work. At least the game saved and I didn't have to start over.

I love the game, but after a while, mid-late game and replays get repetitive and boring. I've now done both the Fountain Of Youth and the Kraken one. If there was some actual combat strategy, but no, it's just get all the cannons and spam spam spam. Fountain Of Youth you mentioned was challenging, but it's just levelling to Artemis' Wrath as fast as possible, then getting up 2k or so and hiring up a crew of 100 + weapons and sacking the port, then a simple spam of all weapons and you'll win with about 200 HP left against the Celestial Horror. I would love an option to continue playing so you can find the other endings, because when you've beaten the whole game and you could have chosen either ending, a second grind is tedious, nevertheless, 3.5/5. Looking forward to a sequel.

Definitely a fun game, but the time limit makes it feel a little too restricted in my opinion. That said, I liked the different endings and the fact that the trophies give rewards for subsequent playthroughs.

you shouldnt be able to reduce enemy's attack to 0 - killed the kraken with the 400 hull ship ~30 reduce dmg shots rest cannon ..

Oh noooo..... I killed Gideon!!! \></ I'm sorry! Wow, great game, very fun! I love the random encounters and the things that happen in the taverns XD You must have spent a lot of time putting this together! 5/5!!!

Great game, but I've finished the Kraken with 40 days to go and wasn't able to continue the game, that was kinda sad... being able to get as much endings as possible in one run would be awesome
