last sail standing

Sundown in the backyard pool. The toys have come out to play, and they brought cannons.

You command a tiny pirate sloop in a circular pool ringed with rocks. Enemy boats sail in from every horizon — slow at first, then faster every round. Sink them, sail past the spinning whirlpool, dodge the shark fin, and try not to get pulled under by the kraken. Every five sailors your mermaids fish out of the water earns you a perk crate at the castle dock — sail in and grab it.

Survive the rounds. Each one is harder than the last.

Every 10 rounds, a boss. Ten named captains, each with a unique special ability:

• Davy Jones — kraken-tentacle proximity strikes
• Blackbeard — smoke-teleport across the pool
• Calico Jack — rapid 4-shot volleys
• Captain Kidd — drops powder kegs
• Anne Bonny — speed-ramming charges
• Barbarossa — high-arc mortar shells
• Black Bart — triple-fan broadsides
• Mary Read — staggered gun-deck volleys
• Henry Morgan — floating mines astern
• Bartholomew Roberts — all of the above, randomly, and he regenerates crew

Perks drop from rescues — 8 to roll: Speed, Repair, Double Shot, Rapid Fire, Iron Hull, Fire Spray, Kamikaze Fleet, Shield. Each one circles your ship as a coloured orb while it's active.

Progression unlocks more cannons as you clear rounds:

• R2 — Starboard cannon
• R3 — Bow cannon
• R4 — Stern cannon
• R5 — Auto stern flame + permanent double-shot
• R6 — Allied submarines
• R7 — Dive-bombing planes

Hazards. Shark eats anyone overboard. Kraken pulls boats to the deep. Whirlpools open at random and suck.

Mascot. A red-bandana pirate monkey watches from the masthead.

How to play

Desktop:

Key	Action
W A S D	Sail forward / back / turn left & right
Mouse click	Fire every unlocked cannon
C	Toggle top-down ↔ deck camera
R	Restart on game over

Mobile / touch:

• Left joystick — drag to steer (analog: full deflection = full speed)
• FIRE button (bottom-right) — tap-and-hold to fire all cannons
• VIEW button (top-right) — toggle camera

Goal: sink ships until you're sunk. Survive as many rounds as you can. Sailors lost overboard become perk opportunities — let the mermaids tow them to the castle dock and a perk crate appears for you to grab.

Tips for new captains

• Stay broadside. Your cannons fire perpendicular until R3. Sail past enemies, don't into them.
• Use the castle. Sail tight around it to break line-of-sight while you reload.
• Grab leaves. Floating green leaves heal one sailor — they spawn every 18s or so.
• Watch the whirlpool. It pulls you in and damages every second you're at the center.
• Bosses arrive at round 10, 20, 30… — the music goes slow and the fog rolls in. Survive the change.
