Ahoy Pirates!

Having launched the game just 24 hours ago, the feedback has been great. The 11 reviews gave my game a review score of positive! Seeing this many people having played the game and enjoying it truly is an amazing feeling!

As a solo developer, I rely on Steam's algorithm to show the game to more players. To keep the launch momentum alive, I would greatly appreciate it if you could take a minute to write a quick review if you've enjoyed the game! Every review helps Steam notice my game and show it to others, thanks!
