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

Hello all! For this week's update, here's one new character we'll be adding into the game: the Cowardly Captain!

We began implementing the pufferfish enemy in the game! At the moment it simply moves around like the mermaid.

We began implementing the mermaid enemy in the game. At the moment it simply moves around and avoids walls.

We began implementing the specter enemy in the game! At the moment it simply follows a target player.

We got new character animations to show off today! We will give a more in-depth explanation of all the new characters in a future post.
