Block of Rum

Needs some polish, but for $2 it can be a lot of fun if you like making custom ship designs. My main problem right now is the game speed. The movement is too fast or too slow depending on what you doing. It's actually a very complex game when it comes to ship editor. You have to account for things like weight distribution, weapons, crew, buoyancy, and speed. Also, there are some untold building techniques. It might be a good idea to build your ship with reinforced walls so it does not collapse from a single shot. It took me about 10 designs to finally make a ship that is not a complete abomination. However, there are some preset designs if you can't build anything, and you can save your schematics. You don't actually get to control your ship, it uses a default skin when you have a world view. When in combat, the cannon balls will destroy parts of your design, disabling canons, killing the crew, and penetrating sails - reducing stats in the process. The map and cities are randomly gener...

This game is pretty worthless to be honest. - no rotation to be able to visibly place blocks underneath the ship - your grid system is terrible, it is complicated for the player to know where the actual x,y axis is, it's merely a guessing game to know where the blocks need to be placed -once the above is figured out, you expect to see your ship in all of it's lasting glory right? nope, it's just a little drawing, you may have spent an hour designing a nice ship, but you won't actually get to visibly enjoy the fruits of your labor - an extremely basic tutorial, the dev may know the controls, that's fine.. but show us where they are please make the game free to play, this is my advice, while it is a cheap game, there are better games on steam for two dollars.. you had a good idea, but a terrible execution.

I really got hooked on the construction mechanics, i would definetly play for hours building ships if there were more materials and color options for said materials. A few comments on the construction though, i would really like more available visibility while making designs (360° vision). Most of the UI needs fixing (better construction inventory, texts that fit), but i indeed liked where the game is going and the potential it has. I would love to help in the translation if you are planing to doing it also in spanish. counter or markers for needed sails or weight balance would be great. For now, I'll keep designing ships till i get the perfect one. Good luck and keep on the good work... Bugs: 180° rotation displaces ship if there isn´t any steering wheel on. ship gets stuck between certain strecthes of land. tesxt doest fit in the screen for guides and sailing ui (quest, trade, etc.)

Really rough UI and confusing map screen where you can't even test drive your ship you just built. Needs work before it's ready.

(!!!MAJOR REVIEW CHANGE!!!) So originally, I had said I would not recommend this game, however I also stated that I would change it if my problems with the game were fixed. So, I am happy to say that with the update 0.7.1 (which was the next update after my review) the following problems have been fixed to my satisfaction. 1: Inability to escape from battle (FIXED) 2: Lack of Warning about losing inventory (FIXED) 3: Quest tracking (FIXED) Sooo, since all my complaints are fixed to my acceptance, I am happy to change my review to RECOMMEND! I left my complaints so you can see what I was upset about. Hope this helps! ------ Original Review (!!!!EDIT!!!! SEE BOTTOM)I don't normally review or rate games, but this one I feel needs a review so that everyone knows what they're getting into: 1: Don't expect to play for long in your game. In the 3 hours I have played, I have had to restart over 15 times. There is NO option to flee from fights and ships will literally hunt you down and at...

Seems like there's a lot of bugs in the latest version. Can't attack cities, and all the ships on the map disappeared. It also takes forever to open the quest and trade menus.

YIKES... looks like a fun game, but as soon as i leave ship editor i just get some error code box. this error code box is useless because text is invisible. i will change this review if the game gets fixed and i actually get to play it.. until then, not worth even downloading.

Need more games like this in the world

Issa game. More soul than quality, but dear lord does it have soul. 20/10 would spend an hour and 12 minutes on it again.

Terrible control scheme for placing blocks. The really bad english also doesn't help. If english is not the devs first language then google translate would have done a better job.
