Mate if you are asking yourself these questions while thinking up the game itself,you won't survive the later stages of development.Just go wild,have fun,it doesn't have to make sense.Make them moon banana pirates for all we care,we see the finished product, if it's fun we play it,we don't see you slaving on your computer for hours thinking up ideas,sprites and mechanics,that is for only you to know.

I actually made a point of this on facebook as well.Why did Rikoshe put rules to follow if they won't follow them as well? The 8th place game was posted on the 4th of april,breaking one of the rules and yet it still got in the top 10.Don't get me wrong the game deserves it,but if it won't follow the rules won't that be a bad example for the next jam ?

I'm pretty sure you can sell this game as a "Frozen" game that has nothing to do with the movie,but everyone will get.Just a suggestion for further monetization.If not I still think the winter theme as,snowflakes,snowmen,santa hats and so on would be a decent addition to the backgrounds.But even if you don't like the idea,all I have to say is,the game has gone a long way in a short time.

That looks really good and it fits the season

I can tell you what is wrong with the graphics in my eyes,it seems it isn't from the gifs resolution,but if it is, my apologies.The walls look too pastel like,which would fit a cutesy game, but not a logic/focus type of game as yours (of course, there are cutesy puzzle/logic/focus type games that can benefit from the pastel like style).And when the wall crumbles it changes too drastically,it looks more like seaweed.But in general your game looks like a fun time waster that I would play on my phone

I see it as a nice time waster/mobile game,even if I got really mad a couple of times

I have a bit of a problem with the controls,usually these types of games use up and down to move in the direction of the ship or back and yours goes the same way no matter where the ship is faced,which is interesting but it makes years of experience crash while trying to learn these small differences in mechanics.Good game in general though (and sorry if my explanation was terrible)

Looks great,keep it up
