About

This is our first IP based on an idea we conceived at the Global Game Jam 2020. See here for the game jam game, which serves as our prototype.

In this local-coop game, the pirates must keep their sinking ship afloat for a duration of time, while leaks keep appearing at the base.

The players must coordinate with each other to stay afloat by doing the following:

  • Using the bucket to empty the ship of the water that's filling in through the leaks.

  • Using the hammer to build planks at the work table and using those planks to plug in the leaks.

The less water that's inside the ship, the quicker you will be able to beat the level!

Win conditions:

  • When the ship on the meter at the top reaches the treasure chest

Lose conditions:

  • If the ship is fully submerged in water
