Draw a loop with your wake — and capture everything inside. Set sail as a rising pirate and unleash a power no enemy sees coming: steer your ship to leave a shimmering trail, then cross it to close a loop. Every ship, treasure chest, and island creature caught inside is yours. The bigger the loop, the bigger the haul — but leave yourself open too long and the cannons find you. THE LOOP Guide your ship with the on-screen joystick and watch your trail snake across the water. Cross your own wake to seal the loop and claim your catch. Master the timing between bold sweeps and quick escapes. GROW YOUR LEGEND Every capture earns XP. Fill the bar and your ship levels up — your vessel grows, your trail widens, and the camera pulls back to reveal a bigger ocean to plunder. Each new phase brings harder enemies and three upgrade choices to shape your run. CHOOSE YOUR BUILD With every phase change, pick from three upgrades: broader trails, faster movement, harder captures, tougher hull, and more. No two voyages play the same. AN OCEAN OF THREATS The seas are far from empty. Scout ships harry you from a distance, armored gunboats try to outlast you, and seeker enemies hunt you relentlessly. Circle them before they corner you. A WORLD REBORN EVERY RUN Every voyage generates a new ocean. Procedurally built islands rise from the water, populated with treasure and danger. The shallows hide different threats than the deep sea. Explore, adapt, survive — or sink. FEATURES • Signature loop-capture mechanic — circle enemies and objects to claim them • Ship and trail grow as you level up — feel the power compound • Procedurally generated islands and ocean world every run • Multiple enemy types: scouts, gunboats, seeking hunters • Phase-based progression with upgrade choices each level • Satisfying haptic feedback on every capture and hit • GPU-powered boat wake trail effects • One-handed portrait play — pick up and put down instantly Blackbeard's Wake contains ads between rounds and an optional one-time purchase to remove them permanently.
