⚓ Welcome to Absolute Shipshow – A Chaotic Pirate Co-Op Adventure!

Grab whatever you can find, think fast, and work as a team to survive waves of enemies and claim the treasure. You play as a completely unprepared pirate thrown into the action. Use your surroundings, your creativity, and each other to fight back and stay afloat.

Kick enemies off the ship, throw barrels, and save your teammate just in time. Every enemy ship is a new wave. Choose how many rounds you want to play and get ready! But keep an eye on your treasure  if it falls into the sea or gets stolen, your score resets. And if both players go down without being revived, it's game over.

Drop treasure into your chest to score points , but don’t get greedy. If you lose the chest, you lose everything… until you can get it back. The game rewards clever play: knowing when to act, when to hold back, and how to use the environment makes all the difference.

🚧 Current Development Stage: Beta

The game is now in its Beta phase meaning it’s playable and all key features are in place. We’re focusing on polish: fixing bugs, improving performance, and fine-tuning gameplay and visuals.

We’ve opened up playtesting to players outside the team. Your feedback is helping us understand what works, what’s confusing, and how we can make the game more fun, fair, and chaotic (in the best way).

Our team made up of designers, artists, programmers, and VFX/animation specialists  is hard at work shaping the final experience.

🎮 Controls – Xbox Controller
Make sure your controller is connected before you begin. Here's how to play:

• Left Stick – Move your pirate
• Y Button – Pick up / Throw objects (or other players!)
• A Button – Jump
• B Button – Kick to attack or interact

Simple controls, but plenty of room to master smart combos.

📣 What We’d Love From You:

Help us make this game better! During your playtest, we’d love to hear:

• How clear were the game’s objectives? 

• How easy where the controlls to use?

• Did you feel encourage to work together?
