Demo Version 0.8.10

Hey everyone,

We're so happy to finally bring you the cute companions you deserve at sea!
Your seagull friend will be at your side while you map these uncharted waters.

In a future update we plan to bring tips and comments to our little fellas, but for now they just cheer you on and celebrate when you complete missions or score points.

You can unlock new seagull buddies by reaching new ranks in-game.

Furthermore we have finally added the possibility to have a look at your finished map once you have finished a game.


  • Game Over Screen now allows you to move the camera and look at your finished map
  • Added animated seagull companions in-game
  • Seagulls can be unlocked by reaching new ranks (sailor, captain, navigator, cartographer)
  • Minor bug fixes


Happy sailing to you and your seagull friends!

Demo Version 0.8.5

Hey everyone,

While version 0.8.5 brings a lot of changes under the hood, as we completed the multiplayer feature for the full game.
Bug fixes for controller support are the only bigger change visible for now in the demo, though.


  • Updated Input System
  • Corrected swapped button glyphs for Switch Pro Controllers
  • Added animation to Player Setup screen
  • Fixed input issues with UI in some edge cases
  • Undoing the exploration of a tile now correctly hides that tiles score again


Hope you enjoy the quality of life changes.

Happy sailing!

    • Steamdeck
    • Xbox One Controllers
    • Dualshock (Playstation 4 Controllers)
    • DualSense (Playstation 5 Controllers)

These updates should make gameplay using controllers much smoother.

Hey everyone,

Version 0.6.20 brings some first scoring UI improvements.

Demo Version 0.5.3

Ahoi,

We heard your first feedback and implemented some of it!



Update 0.5.3 brings these improvements:


  • Deselecting Tiles Although technically not "necessary", this does a lot for the feel of the game!
  • An in-game hint to discarding tiles in case you want to end your turn with too many tiles.
  • Some minor bug fixes here and there


Enjoy the sea!

Demo Version 0.5.0

Ahoi,

Update 0.5.0 brings a few visual bug fixes.
Most notably, if you draw only 1 or 2 tiles at your last turn, you do not see "ghost" tiles glitch for a second.
Also, the game now has the correct application Icon on Windows, Mac and Linux.

Happy exploring!
