when can we get 64 bit version? i bought the game for my mac but could not play it. it looks amazing, but it's a shame that it's inaccessible to me. an update would be great!
This is almost like a teeny, tiny, very cute little minimalist Sea of Thieves. I liked it a lot
The mac version doesn't open on the most recent mac OS, it just displays the message: “kraken's curse.app” needs to be updated. Will this problem be fixed?, thanks
probably not. catalina made a lot of games unplayable. i hope i can get a refund bc i'm on mac too
Hey I know this is one of the older games but are there supposed to be empty treasure chests? I think some of the treasures are disappearing when I open them.
It seems like it is always the compass of the dead.
This looks great, but is a linux port planned?
i got

Hi, thanks for the report. I'm looking into this bug now: did this happen in the itch.io version, or the Steam one?
the steam one
Thank you - I've fixed the issue with the Steam version (on Windows) last Saturday. Should work fine now!
thank you so much!
Amazing Game. This needs to be one of the sokpop "deluxe" games
you made this using gamemaker ?!
Someone know how to get the sail out?
Pick up the sail and then press the button that’ll let you keep it. It’ll come out by itself
Oh, I forgot to pick it up!

Any idea what to do`?
Trying to fix this crash - do you remember exactly what you were doing when this happened?
I'm not totally sure but was cruising around with my steel boat, some canonballs, scimitar, compass, 2 maps and going towards the islands which have the huge skulls on them.
A very good game. Thanks for making it!
This game is *amazing*, however.. is there really no way to save? I played for an hour, found the compass, cutlass, shovel, metal ship, but then I had to stop. And now I have to start again?! whyyyyy ;-;
(seriously though, this game is incredible. A really fantastic style!)
I don't know if the non-saving thing is intended or just due to the fact that the game crashes when I select "quit".
Hi! Sorry, there’s no save feature in the game, ran out of time to make something like that. I’ll add it to the description to make it more clear!
no worries... I definitely understand how much effort something like that is! And I do find it sort of charming that SokPop games are all shorter bite-sized things with no saving, like NES carts. I just don't usually have more than 30min at a time to play games these days, alas ;-;
Suggestion for future games - cheat codes akin to old games where you can unlock different things? This way, people who have unlocked things and want to play again with everything unlocked can simply do so.
Such an amazing little experience. Loved how everything has weight to it, dragging my ship, attaching chests to it, pulling on trees. It's real gooooooooood and now I just want moooooooooooooore.
At one point one of my legs permanently changed into a skeleton's. The price of dying a couple too many times? :'D P.S. What exactly does the Holy Hooch do? Drinking it just added it to my item list, without affecting my health in any noticeable way.
Ahhhh the skellies got me!
This is one of my favorite games of the year
Great aesthetic, very delightful game, got quite far until I pressed escape which instantly quits the game without warning and without save. That's terrible UX please fix that.
implemented a pause menu in version 1.1! thanks for the feedback
Awesome! Good call :)
Rubna, this is your best game yet : )! The design is so smart and simple!
I beat it! :D GotY !!!
A pleasant, relaxing game with a visual style very similar to The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, which I am absolutely a fan of.
I would appreciate some sort of save feature or a pause menu of sorts to take a break or restart the game without having to exit, but other than that it's great!
this game is AMAZING omg
THANKYOU rubna
