This is the game i made for this month’s pirate mini game-jam. since it ended up being one of my better games, i have decided to continue work on Blunderbuss, but im not sure what else i should add. Does anyone have any ideas?
For example, i could make a mode after you get through enough levels you control a big pirate ship instead.

I dont think the link above works! here is an updated version with better U.I.
I decided to remove the scoring feature in the previous version as i felt it didnt fit the game.

That sprite looks amazing! How did you get it so good!
Just saw this, good to know it’s not frowned upon to create a “fresh post” about what you did at the game jam. Now I’ll have to post mine as well 
I used the color fading extension to get that darker tan color for the shading effect.
without that, it doesnt look very good.
music is awesome

This is pretty cool. Only suggestion I have is adding a crosshair to help the player aim.

Hello Everyone! The next update is ready for release.
- Added New Boss - KrackenKlaw
- Added Boss music
- Added Crosshair
- Added Ammo system
- made minor UI tweaks
- Added new ability which will allow the player to heal. however, since it is unlocked after defeating the boss, in the current addition it is unusable.
I intend to make weekly updates to Blunderbuss through August. The next update will either be a jungle themed area or a town themed area.
- Jungle Theme
- Town Theme

Sorry for the late update!
I accidentally updated the link early while i was working on the boss, leaving the game in a somewhat broken state for a few days, but it should be fixed now.
Anyway, here are the update notes:
Summary
Added Boss - Lohak
Added new Boss Music
Added new boss minions
Added new tilemaps
This week’s update i aim to add the next town area, new skeleton types, more music for the jungle as i didn’t get to it this week, and more.
Thank you all for your continued support! We won Game of the Week on @RobbyZero’s Channel 0 Makecode News!

Sorry for the long wait time!
I spent WAY to much time on sprites this week, and that was most of what i got done.
Summary
Added Mastbreaker - tall skeleton with a shipmast as a weapon
Added Kegrunner - skeleton with an explosive barrel
Added music to jungle area - High barbary
Changed game over message - “Davy Jones awaits Ye”
This is not all i got done this week, but it is all i feel is ready to be released. A third enemy that will shoot projectiles at you is in development, as well as the town area. Here is a sneak peak into this week’s update:

Hello everyone!
It has been some time since the last update.
I apologize for that, but i am happy to announce that the game is nearly finished.
I had originally planned on there being 5 bosses, but i have realized that the game is already long enough, so there will be three. The boss shown above will not make the final cut, but he may return in the future.
The final boss will be in the next update.
I speak with no tongue, yet whisper your fate,
My eyes have no sight, but I watch as you wait.
I linger in shadows, a skull in the night,
Bound to the ship by a curse locked tight.
Face me, and the sea shall roar,
For I am the captain forevermore.
