How it feels

A whimsical, hand-animated pirate ship adventure with deliberately awkward physics and surreal waterways, balancing precision platforming and frantic collection with silly power-ups and multiple modes.

What players say

Players describe it as a fever dream with intentionally awkward controls and a unique premise. While charming in its MS Paint art style, it is also quite tough and has a confusing map menu and unreadable upgrade screen.
