Peachleaf Pirates

Kyk neh, when I started this game and I was hard locked to ‘Joe’ I immediately became a bit apprehensive. I do not like not being able to customize my character and especially choose my gender and my voice. Those things matter. People like being represented and having choice. There was a bit of salt in the wound when they named the player character Joe. No offense to the Joe’s out there. It’s so bland. Oh but they use this to its full advantage. The jokes. Oh bless the devs’ souls, the jokes.If you spend any time on the internet and know your memes, this game is going to slap you with them every chance it gets. The jokes are so… stupid. So bloody stupid they’re good. So cringe. So dad-worthy. It sends shivers down my spine. Lekker. Anyway, moving on to the game.The colors are quite muted. Lots of green and brown. It’s a bit of let down when compared to Serin Fate or Stardew Valley. What it lacks in color, it makes up for in animations. They’re basic but they’r...

This is a comedy farming sim game (with minor point-and-click elements) about an amnesiac named Joe, who has washed ashore on a beach of Peachleaf Island and is forced to start a new life there. [u]Info[/u] • The game saves at the end of a day when the player elects to sleep. Joe passes out automatically at 2 AM and wakes up with less energy. • Time constantly progresses unless the menu is open or a cutscene is happening. • Gameplay involves: gathering/foraging, chopping wood, mining, growing crops, taking care of animals, crafting, fishing, quests, and combat. • There is [i]one[/i] puzzle in the game and it is a tad difficult. (Then again, I feel I’m just bad at puzzles in general.) However, if the player has trouble, the dev has provided a cheat sheet for it. • Crops, animal products, and foraged items have 3 tiers: standard, silver, and gold. • Combat involves utilizing a sword or gun. There is also voodoo magic. There are difficulty settings....

Peachleaf Pirates is an enchanting game that takes you on a thrilling adventure on the high seas, offering a charming story, engaging game-play, and vibrant visuals. With a memorable soundtrack, customisation options, and cooperative multiplayer, it immerses you in a pirate's life. While it has a learning curve and limited content, the game's unique charm and immersive experience make it a delightful choice for fans of pirate-themed adventures. This game is easily worth more at its current state and price point, therefore I recommend this to anyone who enjoys the LucasArts/point and click/pixel art genres.

Peachleaf Pirates is a combination of three core mechanics: farming simulator, roguelike action and RPG (a few quests without ethical choices, lack of minimum variability; childish script - characters, dialogues, main story plot; even more childish humor). The game is made in minimalistic pixel art style. It looks simple, at times even primitive, but it is able to create at least a shade of a thick tropical island atmosphere. Appearance is the least problem of the game. The game is obviously very amateur. Each aspect of game design betrays this regrettable fact. Before the end credits has appeared on the screen, i had thought that the game was made by a single person, but not - by a small team of evidently newcomers to game design, art, programming, etc. There are a lot of flaws in this project. It consists almost entirely of them. But for first experience in game development it is not that bad. I hope, Dog Kiss Studio's new game will have lack of majority number of problems that Pea...

"well well well, what do we have here? a well?" A bit of a gem in the rough this, while i havent gotten far yet, there is quite a few Quality of life things id like changed. 1, watered crops can be hard to spot, so i'd love to see that improved somehow, maybe just make the soil even darker when watered. it does become darker, but the crops shadows hide that fact which makes it hard to see 2, you cant use the 1-0 keys to select tools, this should be given, it might be possible to change in the settings, but its not a standard setting which it should be 3, using the mouse to select a tool instantly use it once,,, just why? 4, the game pauses when you have the inventory open... EXEPT IN TOWN!? which was never mentioned! this made me lose a whole day when my daugter woke up and i though i had paused the game as i went to help her go back to sleep. 5, some quests dont get updates in the log when you find new hints on how to progess which should be a easy fix. "oh you need to repair the bo...

This is a very interesting game, a surprisingly comfortable combination of Monkey Island and Stardew Valley. I think more could have been done with integrating the farming sim mechanics with the point and click adventure, but it's definitely worth a go if you're even slightly intrigued by the concept My only real gripes with the game are a couple of minor difficulties with the controls, and the lack of ability to save on quit. A very common problem with the farming sim genre unfortunately.

Firstly I'd like to say a heart felt thankyou because it is very rare to see a developer take the time to answer every single one of their players questions or bug fixes/problems. the fact you reply back in depth to their problem or question shows that you truly care about your game and the people who play it. fantastic work to you and you team. I play a lot of these types of game as well as others and so far thoroughly enjoy the game play, quirky characters and i will quote another players comment 'dad jokes'. Cannot wait for new updates and keep up the good work :-)

A fun, albeit small, farm-sim/adventure game, with some devilishly tricky puzzles and a lot of subtle (and not so subtle) humour. I needed to remap some of the controls to have a better game experience (the e key is overused imo, and the defaults are not all obvious), but otherwise it was a enjoyable ~40 hours of playtime.

Partly Stardew Valley inspired and mixed with some Monkey Island 1-2 style graphics and adventure design. Lots of charm and some good humour. Overall pretty well rounded game at a notably small price point.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this game for $.74. I felt a little silly buying it because I thought it might end up in the backlog pile, forever doomed to the gloomy, cobwebby confines of my Steam library. I'm surprised and pleased to say that after a couple of hours, I became invested -- it has a "one more day" quality for me. What makes it so addictive? It's like a snappier, simpler Stardew Valley, with farming, fishing, animal tending, mining, fighting, and crafting. It lacks a lot of the depth of SV -- no friendships or festivals or character schedules or anything like that -- but it does enough of its own thing to be worth a try. I love SV and have put many hours into it, but in some ways, I prefer the simplicity of this game -- it keeps the game flowing nicely to not have to keep up with a billion different items/characters/schedules/etc. Plus, it doesn't take a long time to earn upgrades. This game also has some humorous Monkey Island point and click puzzle-y bits...
