Genre and what to do:
Puzzle game. You start off on the seven seas, and using your mouse you should click to a spot on the map to sail to, such as a big red "X" on the water that represents a possible treasure spot. The screen then opens to a familiar match-3 board, where you need to swap adjacent pirate-themed items, such as swords, loot, skull and crossbones, maps, chests, and so forth. By creating a match of at least 3 identical items in a vertical or horizontal fashion, the items disappear and make room for more items that cascade down the screen to fill up the empty spaces. You are going to find treasures like the real Pirate. It is a great training in searching gold coins and other riches.
Style and atmosphere inside the game:
A perched parrot and a wooden leg aren.t enough to keep your "mates" in line. You should find cash, grog, weapons, ship upgrades, and eventually unlock new maps to sail to. Your crew is going to be cheered up when gold bars or silver coins are found but if they're unhappy with your progress as a pirate captain - such as not heeding to the clues or giving them enough grog to drink - you can be thrown overboard! Search for ten legendary treasures and earn upgrades for your ship. Be careful not to make too many mistakes, or your jaded crew can feed you to the jaw-snapping sharks. To make this task more difficult, every level offers a unique-shaped board, many with obstacles to get around like spots that cannot be removed. And once you find cannon on the map, you can then build up your power meter by successfully making matches, and then blow away an item of your choice if it helps you clear the board. It offers a sense of adventure and it tied to your progress. However, the match-3 gameplay itself is virtually identical to other match-3 games, with nothing really new thrown into the mix. Plus, the gameplay grew repetitive after about an hour and I found myself playing just to get to the sailing portion of the game, to see what I could find next.
