A pirate-themed tower defense + roguelite game set across hexagonal archipelagos.
Play as a newly arrived island lord:
build defenses, expand your islands, unlock power-ups,
and fend off hordes of greedy pirates to protect the treasure at the heart of your islands.
After each defeat, return to the harbor with your accumulated gems
to unlock stronger starting builds and structures — and take on even greater challenges!
