Notes:
Hope to include more game modes in future updates and maybe new enemies. Please shout out any issues or suggestions! Currently don't have my own Playdate - but I've verified this runs well enough on actual hardware.
Programming, Art & Music done by myself.

more levels and ennemies ?
I’ve (slowly) been working on two new game modes, I’ll try to make a post soon!
great !
thank you !
Enjoy!
I like the art, it is charming, something unique on playdate. I would maybe add a choice of difficulty, like add some arc to the cannonballs. As it is, the floating bombs are easy to avoid, the finall boss is too often, and I miss to move forward and back with the boat. It definitely needs more different targets/enemies or powerups :)
Thanks for the feedback! I had a few different game modes in mind, maybe some power ups too - hopefully in a future update 👍
