How it feels

A frenetic, arcade-style brawler that feels like a playful pirate-themed cartoon with non-stop punching and parrot attacks.

What players say

Players praise the pirate-themed beat 'em up for its smooth controls, catchy soundtrack, and creative stages like underwater beer drinking and a carriage fight. However, some note it is very short, around 40 minutes to an hour, and a few report crashes on the stage clear screen.
