Leonardo's Island

[h2]An impressive solo project with huge potential[/h2] [i]Played for 8.5 hours (demo + early access)[/i] Leonard Island blends sandbox and naval shooter: you build your own sailing ship, arm it with cannons and progress through a tech tree.

Do you want some help developing? Love pirates. Love games. Would be awesome to bring your dream to life and learn

it is simple, but addictive. and hopefully they will continue to expand it.

games really fun and cool concepts, some obvious things to iron out initially but looking greatly forward to additional content.

A little gem about building ships and fighting other ships. Its fun.

Eh mobile game. just aint worth the coin mate.
