    How It Works

    You control a pirate ship on an open ocean. Fire cannons, dodge return fire, collect treasure from ships you sink, and level up. Bigger ships have more cannons, more health, and hit harder. Stay alive long enough and you'll be a one-ship armada.

    Kill streaks get announced. A bounty target is painted on the highest-kill player. Taking them out pays extra.

    Features

    • 4 ammo types - Round shot for standard damage, chain shot to stop enemies dead in the water, grapeshot for close-range burst, incendiary for damage over time
    • 3 abilities - Drop a Powder Keg, vanish with Phantom Sails, or patch holes with Emergency Repairs
    • Kill-based progression - Every kill levels you up. Side cannons grow from 2 to 10, forward cannons from 1 to 5, ship size scales up to 7x
    • Bounty system - The top player takes 25% more damage and is marked for everyone. Kill them for a bigger level steal
    • Dynamic wind - Wind direction shifts every 90 seconds
    • Global chat - Talk trash, call truces, whatever
    • Mobile support - Full touch controls, playable on phone or tablet
    • No accounts, no installs - Open the browser and play
