Great game! Had tons of fun playing it, one of the best experiences iv'e had on Newgrounds in a while!
Here's some feedback or small changes I would love to see for the next game!
1. Make teammates health higher: Teammates would die very fast, I loved the aspect of having a crew with me, but they often died before I was able to do much with them.
2. Find teammates more often: I think it would be awesome to have a ton of teammates with you, and when getting into big battles it would be more like a war with teammates and enemies brawling it out as you led the fight!
3. Increase accuracy on rifle: It seemed the rifle was a lot less accurate then other weapons.
4. Do not respond previously killed enemies: Now I do understand that without this, it would be difficult to re-up on supplies if you need it, but on the "Forgotten Shire" I think it was called, I would often run back through the level trying to dodge enemies, and end up running into many, many more. This ended up sending what seemed like 30+ enemies at me at once, and seemed almost impossible to beat, that was definitely the hardest level on the game.
5: Add secrets: Now maybe there are some secrets that I just happened to miss, but it would be awesome to stumble upon secret caves/areas with lots of loot or little easter eggs! This is no big deal but would love to see it done! :)
6: Maybe add a home port: This would be a great feature I think! In between levels if you went to a safe home port where you could shop with your coins, talk to other pirates, and hire teammates for the next level that would be an awesome addition! It would give the player a little time to recuperate and prepare for the next level, as well as spend coins on something different than level ups.
7. Add Trophies: Would love to have some trophies or achievements added!
That's all my feedback for the next game! Again great job I had a lot of fun playing it and I can't wait for the next one! Keep up the great work! :)
