Wow! Very nice visual design for your first level! Love the pirate ship! Also welcome to the forums; creating levels can be hard work and frustrating at times, but it is also rewarding and fun if you keep at it. You definitely have an artistic eye, which I appreciate. I'm only deducting one star because the gameplay is somewhat short and simple. But believe me, it's a good level! My favorite part was the retractable oars and their role in the logic of the puzzle.
Very clever and artistically designed first level. Definitely captures the spirit of the original 50. Nicely done and welcome aboard.
