just wanted to create this thread for running feedback, since I had some too

  • see your score always pls (maybe pinned to the top of the leaderboard)
  • the score level up bar was unintuitive for me for the first 30 seconds or so, but it is pretty easy to catch on when you notice. I thought it was purely an hp bar and that I just spawned with less than max hp
  • lots of generated debris in unreachable areas (even for really small boats)
  • would be cool to have maybe some little emotes that u can use while playing, id suggest an art style similar to the img attached
  • i like the mechanic that big ships are too thicc to have good movement, but even at the smaller ships i feel like it doesnt feel just right (maybe im mad cus bad)
  • massive cursor size on empty text for name and W# (known bug)
  • although I kind of like the title screen motion when im not using it, it can be a little annoying to have the UI cursors run away from me as im clicking through different character options

Thanks for putting this together! We’re already working on some emotes so glad that we’re on the same page! I can put a patch together by next week with some included new features

the title screen motion thing could still be applied, but only to the background, while the actual buttons could stay in place

I am also bad at game but floating joystick setting might help the feel of the game

I have a suggestion to improve aiming on mobile: instead of the joystick position being mapped directly to the ship’s range, have the joystick control the indicator independently.

For example the joystick position would reset every time you let go, but the indicator stays where it is like it does currently.

This way would also get rid of cases where the camera jerks to the other side when you quickly move the stick

Random events around the map could be interesting. Whirlpools to throw people around. A Kracken that could destroy everyones ship. A ghost ship that can attack players but can't take damage (So you have to run)

Maybe add some small vanity in app purchases to help fund servers

It might be really helpful to new players especially to those who just downloaded the app and haven’t seen footage of it to have a few helpful prompts to get started. I saw a lot of clips from the game but I was still wandering around wondering how to shoot my cannon because it was off the whole time lol

Most people would at least try using the mouse cursor, the most basic control. Although, I can think of adding something as simple as “Left Mouse Button” and “WASD” prompts as darker parts of the water to help inexperienced players. Also, I think it’s a bit unintuitive that the way to points and upgrades is random debris in the sea. It’s easy to pick up on it by accident, but I can still imagine inexperienced players getting stuck for a bit.

well in that case it’s pretty obvious to touch the mobile ui stuff and see what they do, whereas pc has a whole keyboard that can make it overwhelming

yeah but it did take me a whole minute to find the toggle, I thought it was an indicator of some kind and not a button and I already saw a lot of gifs of the game I’m sure other people could come across the same thing
