Prove that you are the best bucaneer of the Southern Seas... and fight for your life against the terrible pirate: Blackbeard.
You are a pirate apprentice, who must prove he is a good cannoneer to earn his captain's respect. You may practice against a soldier of His Majesty, and then you will face the challenge of passing 30 levels to defeat Blackbeard.
The game is easy to play: you have a cannon to launch new cannon balls to the playfield. Join 3 or more balls of the same color to make them disappear. If any ball is left hanging, it will fall and disappear from the playfield.
There are two different playing modes:
1 player: pass the 30 levels, with increasing difficulty, to defeat Blackbeard. You will pass a level after eliminating all cannon balls from the playfield.
2 players: play against a soldier of His Majesty, in three matches. Show what you are made of! If you leave any hanging ball, it will be added to the opponent's playfield.
There are three ball types:
- Cannon balls
- Bombs: when exploding, all balls in their surroundings will dissapear.
- Skull: it will eliminate all balls of the one color
Draw using the crosshair by pressing LEFT or RIGHT. Press UP to center the crosshair. Press FIRE to launch the cannon ball.
The crosshair indicates the color of the ball to be launched. If the crosshair color is constantly changing, you are going to launch a special ball (bomb or skull). Make good use of them!
You may also see the next ball, to help you plan you game tactic.
