Can you stop the singing moon? It's you versus the moon.

About

Pirate Aces

Features
Read full description

Pirate Aces A retro tennis brawler with questionable pirate sportsmanship. Inspired by classic handheld games, Pirate Aces is all about reflexes, timing, and survival. Move between four fixed positions, return impossible shots, and outlast chaotic pirate opponents who definitely don’t play by the rules. No complex controls. No mercy. Just pure, old-school challenge on the high seas.
