About this game

Beat-‘em-up action on the high seas!

Play as a swashbuckling pirate on a mission to reclaim your stolen ship and treasure map! Fight your way through waves of rival marauders, steal from uppity civilians, and unleash fierce parrots in this fast-paced, belt-scrolling brawler.

Explore stages filled with unique hazards and dynamic environments —such as slippery rooftops, deep underwater, and horse-pulled carriage rides!

Choose from 4 unique pirate heroes, each with distinct speeds, attacks, and special moves, including Simon, Coralie, Portia, and the hook-handed Aldemar.

FEATURES

  • 4 playable heroes with unique stats

  • Treasure chests with power-ups and weapons, including pistols and whips

  • Fast-paced gameplay - enemies quickly recover from knockdown attacks

  • Companion assists and special moves with short cooldown times, allowing for frequent use

  • Swift, satisfying boss battles that don’t overstay their welcome —no damage sponges here!

  • Two different endings

  • Classic Game Mode: This campaign recreates the original 1989 arcade game and retains its single-player, single-plane gameplay, as well as its graphics and music.
