About the game
Pirate Isles is a top-down pirate sailing adventure for phones and desktop browsers. You captain a little sloop in a bright island sea with four harbour towns (Coral Bay, Palm Harbor, Frost Point and Sunset Town) and eight wild islands, from palm-covered Turtle Isle to spooky Skull Rock.
A 12-mission story teaches you to sail, then sends you on cargo runs, treasure hunts and pirate patrols, and ends with two boss battles against Captain Redbeard and Admiral Blackfin. After that, every port has fresh contracts. Cannons fire automatically and the battles are cartoon-style: beaten pirates wave a white flag and sail off to sulk. Spend your gold on hull, sail, cannon and cargo upgrades, and buy bigger ships as your rank grows.
How to play
- Drag anywhere on the screen and your ship turns and sails toward your finger. Drag further to sail faster. On a keyboard, use WASD or the arrow keys.
- Your cannons fire by themselves at the nearest pirate ship in range. Keep moving to dodge their cannonballs.
- Follow the yellow arrow and the minimap to your current mission.
- Sail slowly into a harbour's anchor ring and tap Dock (or press E) to pick missions, repair and visit the shipyard.
- For cargo missions, dock to load the crates, then dock at the destination port to deliver them.
- Your ship slowly repairs itself when you are out of battle. If it is wrecked, you restart at the last port you docked at.
