Reviews for Pirate Race

Repetitive, near impossible, but at least it works

So uhh, whose idea was it to row your ship as opposed to using the wind?
And why is the aiming system so damn flawed?
Aside from mashing L and R, you're continually bored to death by the reptitiveness. I like the upgrades, but hell, you don't upgrade as fast as the computer, and you can't win by skill alone, because it's all about UPGRADES.

Music wasn't so good. Not fitting the game, thank god for the mute button.

Yhis game needs some fixing. The game has potential, but I seriojusly don't like it the way it is right now. :(

Not enough money

It's an interesting game, but there is not enough money in the game to be able to afford anything other than oars and ships. If you spend money on anything other than oars or ships, you won't be fast enough to win the next race. This makes the combat portion obsolete very quickly. This wouldn't be as bad except the enemies seem to have every stat as buffed up as high as you are able to get a single stat. This seems especially odd since you're the one winning races and yet you're still behind.

This seems especially noticeable since the rest of the game seems so polished. How did you get everything else so nicely done without seeing that money was so poorly balanced?

Also I think that if you just made the left/right keys be held down instead of tapped it would be much easier on the fingers and much more enjoyable. It would even make turning easier. And if we are rowing don't taunt us with unusable sails on our ships.

If the upgrade problem were fixed I would give it a 9. If the controls were also improved, then I would give it a 10.

Could of been a lot better

Needs the option of returning to shop after a defeat. First I bought the minor upgrades and when I could afford a new ship I decided to save up for the better ship. Suddenly next turn the enemies are twice as fast and strong. Wouldn't be able to beat them no matter how skilled I was with the ship I had. Pretty annoying.

Automatically shooting at the closest target is annoying. Should let me pick the side of the cannon I want to shoot on.

Not good.

I really didn't like it, the idea was good, but the fact that the enemy has upgrades faster than we do, it's almost impossible to finish the game. And the fact that we didn't get extra loot for killing an enemy ship was also bad =/ Was fun for the first 2 levels, got way to hard at three, my hand really hurts now D: If your gonna make a second game, make it a bit more fair the level between us and the enemy.
