## What is Pirates?

Set sail and compete against your friends or against bots in arena mode. You are a single person on your ship and therefore you can only control one part of the ship at a time. Control the ship wheel and steer your ship around obstacles and into position to fire at other ships. Or control your sails and slow your ship to get around tight areas. Or control your cannons and blast holes into your opponents ships to sink them.

You can play alone against bots, or have your family or your friends ready to join you. Up to 4 players can play this game on a single phone or tablet. Who will be the best pirate? Hitting ships with cannon balls gives 1 point, sink a ship and you receive 3 points. Not good at sailing? Hitting a rock or an island with your ship? Bad sailors lose 1 point in that case.

This game is still being improved, but you can already play it. Your feedback on the game is very important and can direct the path this game will make in the future. I hope you will enjoy this game so far.
Get your family and your friends together and learn to steer a tiny ship on your own. Who needs a crew anyway?
