Here's a tip: If you use your browser's zoom-in function, the text behind the App Store ad is only partially obscured. When you're buying a ship, the number is your cash. When you're at sea, it's your score (i'm guessing). Also, the Brigantine is an excellent midgame ship with good bang for your buck.

A wind meter would be a nice enhancement to this. I would personally like to use the wind to my advantage in these seafearing battles...

I spent 15 minutes destroying enemy boats. Then I accidentally clicked on the Iphone ad and found out from a comment that I had to die first. Couldn't you just send in a submarine to sink my ship?

The only thing is with these unity games is every game that comes out has like at least 10 imported features that need to be added

A good effort so far, but there are a few issues. I've noticed some instances where collision and clipping are ignored (e.g., sailing through islands). As well, my port and starboard gun crews sometimes can't agree on which cannons are being fired. Occasionally, the battle music will end preemptively and go back to a serene sonata for strings and cannon. The oddest thing I've noticed so far, however, is that I can sail off the map, potentially forever.

Wow, that is so messed up. I accidentally right-clicked on the iphone app add and then it loads the iphone store and I have to reload the game all over again. Which it just so happens that it takes a very long time... >:(

letting my ship sail while i am writing this comment. you should be able to switch back and forth through the cameras on your own. i thought i was going to barbados but i fought and mixed up the way and wound up in cuba. 4/5 need improvments though

Argh. I don't know if its my computer or your programming but when I turn I occasionally lose control of my ship for around three seconds while I button mash angrily and get no response. I was actually beating a much larger ship with my tiny little one by maneuvering just right when all of a sudden I lost control mid-turn, drifted right into a swarm of cannonballs, and practically lost all my health

yogsloth. It IS a Unity game, so you have to install it if you want to play it. well in fact there are more 3d games on kongragate which require the unity 3d player. ;-)

Okay, so this game needs: 1. A working map button. 2. Ramming!!! 3. Words, not just pictures. 4. No Iphone ad. 5. A way to see the stats of your OWN ship... 6. Options to remap keys (WASD anyone?) 7. A good guy /bad guy dynamic would be neat. 8. A lot of things zstick said.

Yeah... like others have said the game has potential, but needs to get instructions, lose the bizarre opening battle, give the player control over the camera's angle, and get the problem with the player's ship going dead in the water during battle fixed. It could also benefit from a map that tells the player the prices for goods on each island, and an ocean in which not every ship is aiming at obliterating the player.

Can change the view angle or distance, economic model is totally fubar, takes an ETERNITY to travel between ports as there is no way to speed up time. I LOVE this type of game, but it needs some pretty big holes fixed before it's really complete. Keep the patches coming!

Maybe you could find messages in a bottle, so they could give you hints on where to go. Example, Tortuga needs Rum and Coffee. Then you could go to Tortuga and sell rum and coffee at a higher price!

4/5. what I am missing: Story Mode (quests!!!!....), possibility to keep all my ships (because if I had bought a new I lost the old one and did not get the money for it), sea monsters ;P, the ships statistics, some missions on land. What I don`t like: in fight the ships slow down, with one of the smallest ships I could allready destroy the biggest ones because they did not hit me, there are no sea monsters ;P, trading makes no sense.
Good game, has a lot potential.

good game. some sugestions though:
1. get rid of the iphone app button, or move the money counter somewhere else.
2. stats for your current ship.
3. some sort of trade calculator so you dont have to remember what costs where.
4. tab to close map as well as open.
5. on the map, some sort of autotrack feature, as in i click on barbados on the map and i have an arrow pointing to it while i sail.
6. the combat system is very cool, but as others have mentioned, you start fighting one ship all of a sudden theres 4 more.
7. mute button.
8. customized ships (colours, flags, etc)
9. view selection
still a really good start to what could be an excellent game, and good use of the unity player.

it would be cool to have wind just like a real sailboat. It would make the sailing between the islands more fun since you could use the wind to go faster and you would have to zigzag through the wind to sail to a upwind island. it would also make the fight tactics more interesting

the only thing I really want to see changed for now is the camera, i'm only sailing from barbados to barbuda and I can't do it facing land because i get 3 or more boats chasing me, even after they ran away the camera is still on top of my boat

Good game, but I agree with pretty much all the above feedback. Also, I might be retarded, but is there instructions somewhere? Can you beat the initial circle of death, or is that for familiarity only?

Like the game, but a couple things: 1) there's a bug in combat where the arrow keys just stop working and you stop turning - you have to release and press again, 2) why not implement WASD keys for turning so I can use my mouse to fire? Another awesome addition - right-click hold and moving the mouse would spin your camera view around.

There seems to be something (money sometimes) that is blocked by the "iphone" app store ad. What's up with that? Also sometimes when I turn it don't turn, which is annoying when I'm trying to dodge cannonballs.

More tooltips and info about stuff.
For instance, what does the red cross in the top left corner do?
Abandon ship, blow up the ship, return to closest port, quit current game?
I've not dared to click it yet..

The "app store" icon gets inn the way of seeing how much money you have while purchasing upgrades and whatnot.
While turning the game randomly decides to have me stop turning, which is how I lose most of the health I lose.
I often can't see enemies before they can fire and hit me.
Good concept, relatively poor and buggy execution.

Things you should add: The option to leave the map by pressing Tab again, quests, camera controls, a volume control, the option to actually see your money (or quit the iphone ad) and maybe an Ingame Tutorial or something like that (help function...).
Except for these things missing, which impact the quality very much n my opinion (was fun to play, but it could have been way better) it's a great concept and it's fun to play.
Personally, I'm gonna wait for it to be upgraded from "good" to "awesome".

Do a repeated "S" pattern and you can dodge 90% of shots while landing 90% of your own. At least, you could, if your ship didn't occasionally decide to stop responding.

needs a some more work to get it polished up, the camera shifts are slightly annoying, clipping through things is a pain, and pirates need to be adjusted.

man I was so excited about this at first all "awesome pirates like game!"until I realized the person who made this game had no idea what the word user friendly meant. the game starts, theres a circle of waves around my ship showing where I can't go out of because I'm instantly under attack with no apparent reason from ships of many different countries. I can't leave the circle yet the other ships can, and they can apparent constantly keep entering it as I killed over 20 ships before giving up as more just kept coming....
I could write more but really whats the point the devs will never read this, theres a good reason why they have that appstore link covering up part of the hud, its to force you to buy the game. they don't care one little bit about the game on the pc since they make no money from it that way, they'd rather sell it to you. indy game devs.... far more money hungry than any large corporation

1/5. Huge issues. Iphone ad hides many things. No clear instructions. Controls get "stuck" sometimes. Camera doesn't show what it should, and gets "lost". Ships spawn on top of you. I could go on....
