About the game

Captain a toy galleon across a sunny archipelago, sailing from port to port while pirate sloops, brigs and galleons try to sink you. Your guns only fire sideways, so every fight is about turning your ship to put an enemy beside you.

The wind is the real opponent. You cannot sail straight into it, and the ring around your ship shows which headings are fast and which are dead slow. When a port lies upwind, you zig-zag toward it. Each port lets you repair and buy better cannons, crew, sails, hull or rudder with plunder, and your best voyages earn new ranks.
