The enemy ships have better turn radius, faster firing cannons, and auto-aiming cannons. This inflates the difficulty in a rather obnoxious way. I also don't like the fact that you can just pull a reverse out of nowhere. I think games should improve on the past, but this is a far cry from the feel of combat in Sid M's Pirates.

Edit in Response: It's not about the difficulty as much as it's about the differences between enemies and players. It just doesn't feel satisfying as a "ship combat game" when the ships don't act like ships.

TheWyseKing responds:

Thanks for the feedback. My intention was to make a simple, challenging ship combat system. I think the difficulty is balanced nicely. I've played it hundreds of times and I still get sunk sometimes. :p

*A little hint: Try circling the enemy ships at your max cannon range. Good luck!

Edit in Response: Well, I wasn't going for realism here. lol
It's an arcade style shooter that I enjoyed creating and playing.

good, but i'm bad (at it)

TheWyseKing responds:

Thanks! It takes a few tries to get used to the cannonball trajectory and top-down driving. Don't give up!

Good Game, I like the difficulty. took me about 6 attempts to do the level. The music fits really well. the oranges stood out a bit too much I thought and didn,t really fit the theme

TheWyseKing responds:

Thanks!

Nice game! the controls can be frustrating at times I forget which cannon is which key depending on which way im facing

TheWyseKing responds:

Thanks! Happens to me too. lol
