It looks awesome, I have to go to class now, but I'll download it later and give you feedback.

---

I could say the same about Firewall
Good luck with getting it published, I tried the new demo on Gametunnel.com, and the new GUI has made a big difference.

Eagerly awaiting feedback.

---

Ahr matey, it be awesome yar!
Didn't take too long to complete, but it's fun nonetheless, and I guess it only didn't take so long cos i'd already played through most of the demo version.
That last boss is evil though, I like

---

DAMN YOU ROCK MAN ALL YOUR GAMES KICK ASS!!!

---

Wow, looks cool!

---

Sorry I haven't tried it yet. I just downloaded it, and am leaving for home soon. I will try it out and post feedback in a couple days.

---

I'm still trying to work out how to download it O.o

Theres some wierd box with the 'not available plugin or whatever' image in. I'm using firefox you see. If I click it, it tries to find a plugin for it, but can't. I'm guessing thats the download button?

Great idea mate, stop firefox users from downloading it

---

Go to his site and click download?

---

yes i completed it took me 2 attaempts thaks to good ol resume game :p, the collision is irritating like if i wasnt to swaeve around a turret he just stops and no reverse or anything, i like the level themes and the bosses makes it seem proffesional whilst having that cartoonly feel, the only reason i completed the last level was the carcas of my ship killed it , but overall its a great game nice sound effects graphics nice touches like the boat swaying from side to side and the fireballs extinguishing from the volcanoe.

---

You don't use firefox do you..

---

great game!...my only gripe was that the ship seemed to move real slow

---

I saw the buttons in IE (I use Firefox and IE, depending on the situation), but when I tried to click them, it didn't work. I just guessed the file's URL, I was right, and I'm d/l now.

---

Yes, there's a button that sais "Download", and it downloads.

---

Sorry I took so long...I was on vacation, and didn't go online much.

I played the game, it is really cool. It is a pretty solid game, and has some really cool concepts, like the flying enemies, different weapon types, ability to shoot from the side, and the doors/buttons. It was really fun too, good job Drew. Nice menus too.

Suggestions:
-Is this Classic or Pro? If it is Classic, I suggest using sliding collision so you can slide the ship along the edge, instead of it getting stuck. My ship got stuck on the side once too...

-I was able to go "inside" of one of the spinny blade things, so the blade couldn't get me, but the wooden beam was going through me. Is there a way you could prevent this?

-Have you tried turning the camera so it was always behind the ship? I was just wondering what it would be like...probably too dizzying...

I really like the ship tilting and the camera shaking, those are cool effects. Keep up the good work!

---

It was quite fun. A bit short but it was fun. Level 8 was really short and easy, I don't know why, and the final boss was a bit annoying. Still, this game was enjoyable.


Err... can't you just press Shift?

---

It is a pretty good game.

---

Oh yeah, oops. Forgot about that...sorry...

---

Heh, I never noticed that either

Though it is a lil harder to control that way, or at least harder to see what's going on, I think... the default camera view looks better and gives a better feel to the game in my opinion, but i guess that's why the choice is there

---

Thankyou for the good feedback,

and yes - Bolt, you can use SHIFT.
I know about the saws, and the sliding collision. Those are both frequently quoted problems, but the speed lost in implementing full sliding collision makes it not-worth while. As it is, I have to savour every bit of speed I can, as the game is very graphically intesive. As for the saw problem - no idea how to fix that I'm afraid...

Thanks very much all.

---

Get DBPro already!
You should have entered the compo.

---

Yes I should've.

---

I played it for a few levels and it is addictive. Excellent game.

I had to get used to not being able to go in reverse But I suppose that would be difficlue at sea anywayz.

Which reminds me, if you don't have such levels you should have something with wind and strong currents to push the ship back ward. The big boss concept is always awesome specially when it comes from independent developers.

Cheers

---

Indeed, ships cannot sail backward.

There is a wind tunnel type feature in level 6, sorry if that spoiled the suprise

Glad to hear the positive feedback.

---

Final update

A lot of e-mails from visitors complaining that the game is very hard. Here is the level skip cheat code:


Note this cheat does not work on stageboss levels.
Hope that helps everyone

Merry Christmas!

---

Wusses :p

Though that will be nice to skip to the levels and bosses that were more fun

---

Great game that, my son James(4) loves playing it !
Is it DBC or PRO ?

---

DBC, coded in 2 months.

---

Yeah i love the game!! I'm in the first level of the aztec world. like the water effect. Where did you found the boat model?

---

My brother works with me - he did all the modelling and I did all the texturing. I never use other peoples models if I can help it, just a matter of principle.

---

Oh ok because the model is very good

---

Nice job.

---

Thanks Glad to see my game appeared in the newsletter - what an honour!

---

The newsletter is what got me to download the game. Just trying it out now - the above messages made me want to try it out. It really must be good if its in the newsletter

---

love the game... and would lave to see additional levels

---

Hats off! Great gfx, great models, great attention to detail and most important of all, great gameplay! And level 3's dinosaur is fantastic!

---

sadly this looks like a ripoff of an old pc game, it was basically the same even down to the saw things,

---

compleet Rip of Overbord im afraid, its identical. but the game looks gr8


u see

---

Just a question, while I wait for the download...

Your site says:


Why, you can't really say that. Looks great, anyway, can't wait for the download to finish.


BTW.

It wouldn't happen to be a Flash plugin, would it? Try going to the Firefox site for it.

[EDIT]Got it. Very class. Just a few more questions...

1)I'm just wondering why there's two EXEs, RUNTIME.exe and the one it says to run in the readme?
2)Why's it play the music when you're hit?

Just curious.

---

Yes, observant of you. I do take offence to your tone. "Sadly..."; sad? why? you got the game for free so shutup.

@ Mr Pointless

Yes, I can. Virus checked, and coded by me (no adware or spyware then).


Because one is the actual game, and one is the menu, through which you are intended to access the game. A bit messy The music plays to add to any action taking place, with a player hit taken being the programs flag to play music, similar to Codename Outbreak.
