Have you ever wondered what bugs actually get up to? Well boy do we have news for you! There's actually an entire miniature world of pirates- localized entirely within your nearest garden pond.

Set sail across this vast and unforgiving body of water, in your trusty Firefly ship. Your goal is to  journey to the center of the pond, and defeat the Mosquito'o'war that has been terrorizing the garden denizens. Travel between ports to make money so you can advance even deeper into the pond. But watch out for Mosquito Pirates along the way, who will stop at nothing to sink you.


Features:

  • Three carefully designed and decorated levels to explore
  • Exciting ship vs ship combat
  • Cool and interesting ship designs based on real insects
  • A unique aesthetic inspired by your backyard
  • Engaging trading which will have you buying/selling between different ports for a profit


Controls:

'W' to go up a gear/move faster.

'S' to go down a gear/slow down.

'A' and 'D' to change the rotation and direction of movement left/right respectively.

Hold the 'Right Mouse Button' to aim, click the 'Left Mouse Button' to shoot. The direction of shooting is determined by the mouse's location relative to the ship.

'T' when next to a port to interact with it.
