The 2 game modes are free to play in browser. Come join our 245 active captains, I’d love any and all playtest feedback at this stage!

Super fun. How do I 'fire" though given spacebar brings up the map? Is the mouse the only option? How do I see the controls as I see the "s" key does something with the sails?

Lmk if space to fire and shift for map makes more sense

I wanted it to feel natural for qwerty and arrow key controls, the space felt a little clunky with arrow keys.
