Ahoy there, sea dogs!

We’ve gathered your feedback, analyzed hundreds of voyages—and quite a few parrot-related deaths. Today, we’re releasing a major update for the Curse of Pirates demo. Without further ado, here’s what’s new:

  • Balance adjustments, especially at the start of a voyage.

  • New pickups — special items that can drop from enemies and grant temporary bonuses.

  • Improved totem system — it’s now clearer and safer, so you won’t accidentally grab a debuff instead of a buff.

  • Visual upgrade for your ship — it’s now displayed from multiple angles. Not only does it look great, but it also gives a better sense of control at the helm.

  • Manual fire mode — toggle it in settings if you prefer aiming and shooting on your own.

  • Astrid, Darkbone, and Zar'kul are now waiting for you in the hub to chat between voyages.

  • A brand-new adventure map, freshly drawn and full of pirate charm.

And of course, countless smaller tweaks and visual improvements — especially better readability for attacks and effects.
