A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Take to the seas as captain of your own pirate ship. Test your mettle against insurmountable odds and increasingly dangerous opponents! Do you have what it takes to be the bravest Pirate Captain?

About:

The aim of the game is to be the last ship standing. If you fail a level you'll get the option to retry it, and if you succeed you can move on to the next difficulty.

This game is written in Clojure using Quil which is a library for creating interactive drawings and animations. For the most part it is pure functional Clojure code with a little bit of mutability scattered around to control the threads responsible for playing music and sound effects.

The souce for the game is on Github here, feel free to have a look.

Controls:

- Arrow keys to control the speed and direction of your ship.

- Spacebar to fire your cannons when the yellow bar is full.

- Esc to pause the game and return to the menu.
