More about this game
Your goal is to rescue all 12 crewmates scattered across four ship decks before the 90-second timer hits zero. You must climb three rope ladders to move between levels, collecting shiny coins along the way. Rolling barrels and swinging hooks patrol the decks, and taking a hit costs one of your three hearts. The run ends if you lose all three hearts, run out of time, or successfully grab every crewmate to finish the voyage.
Tips
- You have exactly 1.35 seconds of invulnerability after taking damage from a hazard. Use that brief safe window to quickly escape tight spots and reposition yourself on the deck.
- You can jump off a rope onto a deck early by moving left or right while climbing. This helps you quickly dodge incoming barrels without climbing all the way up.
- Prioritize grabbing the 12 crewmates over collecting the scattered coins. The 90-second timer ticks down quickly, and you need all the time you can get to navigate the four decks.
Questions
How many hits can my pirate take?
You start the game with exactly 3 hearts displayed in the top left corner. If you get hit by a rolling barrel or swinging hook three times, your run ends immediately.
How do I rescue the stranded crew?
Walk close to a crewmate and press the Grab button on your screen or keyboard. You must be within the 145-pixel grab radius for the rescue action to successfully work.
What happens if the timer runs out?
You have exactly 90 seconds to navigate the four ship decks and save all 12 crewmates. If the timer reaches zero before you finish, the voyage is over and you must restart.
